Big Data Business Intelligence for Govt. Agencies
35 HoursAdvances in technology and the exponential growth of information are reshaping how businesses operate across various sectors, including government. The rise in data generation and digital archiving within government is driven by the proliferation of mobile devices and applications, smart sensors, cloud computing solutions, and citizen-facing portals. As the volume and complexity of digital information grow, the challenges of managing, processing, storing, securing, and disposing of this data also become more intricate. New tools for capturing, searching, discovering, and analyzing unstructured data are enabling organizations to derive valuable insights. The government sector is reaching a critical juncture where it recognizes that information is a strategic asset. Consequently, there is an urgent need to protect, leverage, and analyze both structured and unstructured data to better serve the public and meet mission objectives. Government leaders are working towards building data-driven organizations by establishing connections across events, people, processes, and information.
High-value government solutions will emerge from a combination of the most transformative technologies:
- Mobile devices and applications
- Cloud services
- Social business technologies and networking
- Big Data and analytics
Big Data is one of the intelligent industry solutions that enable government to make informed decisions by analyzing large volumes of diverse data, both structured and unstructured. This analysis reveals patterns that can inform better decision-making.
Achieving these goals requires more than just collecting vast amounts of data. "Making sense of these massive volumes of Big Data necessitates advanced tools and technologies capable of extracting valuable insights from a wide array of information," noted Tom Kalil and Fen Zhao of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy in a blog post.
To help agencies access these technologies, the White House launched the National Big Data Research and Development Initiative in 2012. This initiative allocated over $200 million to capitalize on the growth of Big Data and develop the necessary analytical tools.
The challenges posed by Big Data are as significant as its potential benefits. Efficient data storage is a primary concern. Budget constraints mean that agencies must keep storage costs low while ensuring easy access to data for users. Backing up large volumes of data further complicates this challenge.
Effective data analysis is another major hurdle. Many agencies use commercial tools to sift through vast amounts of data, identifying trends that enhance operational efficiency. A recent MeriTalk study found that federal IT executives believe Big Data could help agencies save over $500 billion while also meeting mission objectives.
Custom-developed Big Data tools are also aiding agencies in analyzing their data. For instance, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory’s Computational Data Analytics Group has made its Piranha data analytics system available to other agencies. This system has helped medical researchers identify a link that can alert doctors to potential aortic aneurysms before they occur. It is also used for more routine tasks, such as filtering through resumes to match job candidates with hiring managers.
