With Big Data analytics, large amounts of data held by the public sector can be transformed into useful and actionable intelligence to help managers and employees understand factors impacting their daily mission focus. Properly leveraging analytical tools helps to understand the past, aids good decision making now, and can even predict future events.

Now, more than ever, there is an increased trend to modernize public-sector services by harvesting ideas from the world of business. Innovation is key and transformative technology projects are top of mind. The opportunities for government to boost efficiencies and performance, as well as reduce costs, are endless.

In this white paper we address the key factors of a successful analytics project: cost, performance and scale and how they can impact day to day mission goals.
