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

- 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
