In a modern fast-paced society, public administrations need to ensure that the best decisions are made at all time and that they can respond quickly to a rapidly-changing environment. Decisions must be based on relevant, timely and quality data, and administrations need to develop the ability to extract from it meaningful insights to support their policy-making cycle and internal decisions. Digital transformation can help achieve this objective through modern data analytics technologies and data science methodologies and techniques, and support administrations in becoming data-driven organisations.
