Data Modernization Strategies and Programs in National Civilian Government

This IDC Perspective analyzes how, with data becoming part and parcel of everyday work, governments are investing in data modernization strategies and programs that entail coordinated initiatives that transform legacy data architectures, talent, and governance into scalable, cloud-enabled, and analytics-ready environments. "Senior government leaders are migrating and consolidating data platforms, adopting modern pipelines, implementing data quality and cataloging, strengthening security and compliance, and enabling self-service access. Effective data modernization aligns technology with business outcomes, establishes effective operating models, and nurtures skills to improve agility, reliability, and time-to-insight while unlocking advanced use cases such as AI and real-time decisioning," said Massimiliano Claps, research director, IDC Government Insights.
