Data, Dashboards
|
| Every IT professional is challenged today to find better ways to churn out data in a more palpable format. Just a few years ago, the act of creating dashboards was the difficult part. Today there is so much more electronic data available, both internally and externally, and access is far easier with web services and data exchanges that the question is not “how?” but “what?” |

| Big Data: Big Discovery or Big Disappointment? |
| Tags:
Big Data
|
| In the public or private sector, the goal of Big Data is to evolve from hindsight to insight and make decisions in time to affect the outcome of event. The difference between making “Big Discoveries” (such as sequencing 3.2 billion base pairs in the human genome) versus “Big Disappointments” (such as a stock trading company losing control of an algorithm and causing serious delays on an exchange) is cultural. To be successful, you must admit that you can’t understand your data or the relationships within it prior to analyzing it and you can’t predict what questions you’ll be trying to answer with your data in the future. |

Data

Equally important as exposing the information itself is fostering a vibrant developer ecosystem around it. By making the publishing agency, not the public, responsible for making information immediately useful, government can lower the barriers associated with consuming its data and introduce additional citizen services at little to no cost to the agency. |

Big Data

| “Doing more with less” is the current mantra in the information technology arena. Reducing costs and increasing levels of data or information protection are keys to delivering mission service successfully. The golden fleece in today’s environment is the change to an organizational culture that incorporates and increases data protection, but also reduces costs and risk. |
