Virtual Summit: State of Digital and Data - 19th May

The unprecedented events of 2020 and 2021 have led organisations in the public sector to appreciate the real value of the data they hold, and its vital role in allowing them to deliver services to an increasingly expectant and demanding public. But, while there is optimism around the ability of organisations to explore new technologies that will unlock the value of data, as well as confidence in the skills of their employees to maximise the opportunities it offers for innovation, the reality seems to be that the tools aren’t yet in place to enable this.

Harnessing the Potential of Digital and Data

The unprecedented events of the last 12 months have led organisations in the public sector to appreciate the real value of the data they hold, and its vital role in allowing them to deliver services to an increasingly expectant and demanding public. But, while there is optimism around the ability of organisations to explore new technologies that will unlock the value of data, as well as confidence in the skills of their employees to maximise the opportunities it offers for innovation, the reality seems to be that the tools aren’t yet in place to enable this.

Data: The Essence of Digital Transformation

Digital transformation programmes can focus predominantly on replacing older processes, workflows and technologies with newer ones. However, the data that inputs to these new digital processes and technologies is the essential component. Important then that decisions on the future state of legacy architectures are modernised and multi-cloud approaches are adopted in the light of requirements around data sovereignty and residency. This talk explores the areas that need to be considered to allow the transformative potential of data to be harnessed.

Smart data use to improve infrastructure management, operational resilience and customer experience

Digitalisation of the transport sector has inspired smart uses of data to improve infrastructure management, operational resilience and overall customer experience. Join CACI’s Jason Durk, Head of Transport and Matt Pierce, Head of Cloud, Managed Services and DevOps as they explore how digitalisation is helping to overcome the challenges faced in the transport sector, by a growing economy and increasing passenger numbers, as well as reflecting on how data can assist in getting passengers safely back onto public transport post-COVID.

Getting the basics right to build a robust and resilient data foundation

A robust and resilient data foundation can only be achieved by doing the basics right. Join Mark Humphries, Head of BI and Analytics Consultancy and Chair of DAMA UK, as he discusses the importance of governance and architecture, data collaboration and how improving the data literacy levels amongst key decision makers has led to improved outcomes and better results for Civica’s public sector partners.

Next gen technologies: Data collaboration & analytics without data sharing

Data can now be available for analytics while remaining under the control of the data holder. This talk explores how next generation technologies such as privacy enhancing techniques and federated learning enable organisations to get the insight they need from their data and from other organisations’ data without ever sharing the data through a complete solution that can be tailored to their security, privacy, data compliance and data governance requirements.
