This presentation explains the future challenges that Governments face, and illustrates how Big Data & Analytics technologies can help address these challenges. Four case studies - based on recent customer projects - are used to show the value that the innovative application of these technologies can bring.

for services and
responsiveness
Rising
environmental
concerns
Pressure for
transparency and
accountability

6. Analytics can transform Government
To create a strong legacy
of transformation
To spend public
funds responsibly
To drive smarter
decision-making
To realize results-based
government
To drive
transparency and
accountability
To achieve the best outcomes
for everyone, from everyone

15. Base Protection - Project Overview
Requirement
• Detect, classify, locate and track potential threats, above and below
ground, to secure base perimeters and border areas
Challenges
• Continuously consume and analyse digital acoustic data
– biological, mechanical and environmental objects-in-motion
• Gather and analyse information simultaneously, at very high speed
Capability
• Collect data from multiple sensor types
• Analyse and classify streaming acoustic data in real time
16. Base Protection – Solution Outline

Track
Streaming, Time Series and Partner Technology
17. Base Protection - Capability
• Captures and transmits real-time, streaming acoustical data from
around the base
• Enables security personnel to “hear” even when the incident miles away
• Identify and classify a potential security threat
• Take appropriate action
• Capture, reduce, process and analyse 275Mbit of acoustic data from
1024 individual sensor channels in 1/14th second (42 TB/day)
• Extendable to include other sources (reduced false alarm rate)
• Airborne
• Video

• Grand challenge in automatic, open domain
question-answering
• IBM Research led
• Massive effort
• Won Jeopardy, beating champions
• But then what?
29. Cognitive systems
Programmatic Systems
• Leverage traditional data sources
• Follow pre-defined rules (programs)
• Provide the same output to all users
Cognitive Systems
• Are taught, not programmed.
• Learn and improve based on experience
• Interpret sensory & non-traditional data
• Relate to each of us as individuals
• Expand and scale our own thinking
34. Summary
Predictive analytics § Predict and target the needs of citizens and match programs
and resources to meet highest-priority citizen needs.
§ Predict and help prevent outages in key public services.
§ Match programs and resources to meet highest-priority citizen
needs.
§ Position resources to focus on high-priority service areas.
§ Improved governance, reduced risk, and compliance
Analytical decision management
§ Get a strategic view to manage the delivery of citizen services
and program requirements.
§ Position resources to focus on high-priority service areas.
Business intelligence
Business outcomes/benefits
§ Strategic view of revenue streams, budgets, costs and
expenses at all levels of the government enterprise.
§ Leverage collaborative budget preparation and execution.
Performance management
Risk management § More effectively measure and monitor financial and
operational risk across agencies.
§ Use reporting capabilities to support compliance with internal
and external requirements.
