March-20176GOVERNMENT CIO OUTLOOKEDITORIALThe Promise of a Transformative TechnologyBig data is driving a revolution, unlocking unimagined opportunities for innovation, both inside and outside public sector. By proffering accessible big data tools, government agencies can create new value for the public while safeguarding significant interactions between the legislature and its citizens. One of the most transformative advances in the last century, big data offers great potential for the economy, facilitating the efficient delivery of public services, helping government agencies fasten decision making processes.However, the fundamental challenge lies in improving the openness of big data, ensuring that firms across countries receive easy access to information, in order to advance their big data initiatives. Additionally, governments must also address related legal, compliance requirements as well as security while using data. Law enforcement, intelligence and homeland security departments today need big data technologies that automate the processing of vast amounts of data. The need of the hour is to have a technology capable of integrating data from multiple sources--from batch-processing to near real-time. Investing in data-enrichment, management and integration would help uncover better relationships concealed within the data. Moreover, data security can be tackled by optimizing data processing across platforms, both in the cloud and on-premise. CIOs need to examine cloud options and infrastructure thoroughly to make informed decisions, and fulfill the demands. In an effort to empower CIOs to determine best ways to capitalize on the organization's data and reap its benefits, Government CIO Outlook presents to you its Big Data Special, featuring valuable insights from thought leaders and companies that are at the forefront in delivering superior big data solutions.Let us know your thoughts.
