The Power of “Data in Motion” for Personalised, Intuitive and Highly Engaging Citizen Services

Unlocking the power of data in motion to accelerate application development, reduce operational costs, fast track to the cloud for next-gen citizen services

Government agencies and enterprises are in an unprecedented time and going through the largest digital transformation in history.

The pandemic has vaulted the government headfirst into the next stage of digital transformation powered by a huge surge in data.

Indeed, there’s a good case to be made that digital transformation is likely to fall short unless it is based on a solid foundation of “data transformation”.

To become a truly data-driven organisation, that operates in real-time, agencies are undertaking multiple modernisation initiatives, including application modernisation, artificial intelligence, and machine learning, the cloud, and edge analytics.

But modern applications no longer live in isolation. They are built on microservices and rely on other services to move data between applications. Nowadays, modern distributed applications comprise hundreds of thousands of remote services operating in multiple tiers, all of which are loosely coupled and need to exchange data with each other. In such distributed architectures, reliable data and message distribution are key.

Modernise, Revolutionise, Innovate – Digital Government Infrastructure

Government missions are no longer static, but continuously in motion, handling the “now”. To be effective, agencies need to continually innovate to provide seamless and easy-to-use services and improve the resilience and security of digital platforms for citizens, businesses, and public officers.

Agencies need a complete streaming data platform that treats data in motion, whether it is driving action or producing real-time analysis. And this platform must be capable of supporting workloads anywhere, anytime across the globe, whether it's in the cloud, on-prem, or at the edge, and connect them all.

More importantly, data at rest in a datastore isn’t useful when it isn’t being queried and isn’t driving decision-making. Instead, agencies need to start thinking about creating a central connective tissue that conducts their data across their organisations and begin handling their data in motion as it is created and flows to those who need it.

This points to a question – Are data silos hindering innovation in your organisation?

Transforming Government Digital Services for the Future - Leveraging Event Streaming, and Apache Kafka

The Singapore government has taken bold measures to re-engineer government digital infrastructure to support modern application development. As organisations continue to migrate to the cloud and adopt microservice architectures, the data needs to be constantly streaming.

Agencies need a platform that ties together disparate applications, systems, and teams, with data being the backbone, and making it easier to gain insights. This platform should be able to unlock and repurpose the existing data for countless modern applications and use cases securely and efficiently.

OpenGov is pleased to invite you to our exclusive OpenGovLive! Virtual Insight aimed at imparting knowledge on how public sector agencies can power mission outcomes, better serve citizens, ensure security and compliance, enhance IT efficiency, and maximise productivity with a platform built for data in motion.

This session serves as a great peer-to-peer learning platform to gain insights and practical solutions to understand the value of event streaming architecture to deliver rich, citizen-centric experiences and enhance real-time operations, to innovate and win in a digital-first world.

We will discuss:

• How successful agencies are uniquely addressing data management challenges
• How agencies are adopting enterprise streaming technology to unlock and repurpose their existing data for countless modern applications
• How integrating and activating data in real-time securely can help your agency make better decisions, faster
• Use case scenarios for the digital modernisation of citizen engagement
• Making smarter, more effective use of the data to improve fiscal stewardship, accountability, public policies, program effectiveness, and mission success
• Creating a data pipeline with Kafka for high throughput and scalability while displaying high-quality situational awareness
• Embracing “Data in Motion” to meet citizen needs and deliver faster, more personalised, and responsive engagements with citizens and other agency stakeholders
