  • Economic Vitality - Prosperity and Public Engagement In a Data Driven World
    The pressure on governments to increase efficiency, focus on the citizen's needs and deliver results is intensifying. IBM can provide new insights to help government organisations to reduce costs, optimise ways of working and business processes, engage with citizens and innovate.

    Accelerating demands for service, enhancing economic competitiveness and mitigating evolving threats are just some of the challenges facing government leaders in a data driven economy. Governments have always used data to address their challenges, but success will be measured not only by their ability to respond, but more critically on the speed to insight as well as the capability to apply this learning to adapt and evolve.  Government is the largest producer and consumer of data, yet Government organizations still only leverage a small portion of their data. The issue for government is the sheer volume of unused data, the exponential rate of its growth, and the general inability to leverage the insights it contains across the many silos.  There is a clear imperative for Governments to embrace the data driven economy by addressing these challenges head on to not only improve operational efficiency, but to better serve the needs of the citizens, enhance program outcomes, while also enhancing economic competitiveness.
