Overview

A state government agency needed to build a centralized analytics platform serving 12 state departments with secure data sharing capabilities and public-facing transparency dashboards. The platform needed to comply with open data mandates while protecting sensitive government operations data.

The Challenge

The state government faced unique public sector analytics challenges:

  • No centralized analytics platform - each department using disparate tools
  • 12 departments with different data sources, formats, and governance policies
  • Open data transparency mandates requiring public access to government data
  • Need to balance transparency with protection of sensitive operations data
  • Limited analytics expertise within government IT staff
  • Budget constraints typical of public sector organizations
