If you compare today’s technology to the once-exciting offerings from years ago (think, smartphones versus flip phones), you can appreciate how more advanced IT allows for more interesting, enhanced experiences. It opens doors that didn’t seem possible — at least to a layperson — not long ago.

The public sector too often thinks of modernization as a series of one-and-done initiatives. The efforts have clear end dates, take place every five or 10 years, require massive funding — and ultimately trap agencies into using outdated IT. But just as learning is a lifelong process, an organization’s self-improvement should be ongoing, to help ensure that its technology remains effective and efficient and that the costs involved in updating IT are manageable.

By its definition, “data” are individual facts, statistics or items of information. They’re cold and faceless and, on their own, do little to explain what they represent. For instance, the census says what percentage of people in a given area fall within low-income brackets, but the numbers don’t explain why or describe that population’s daily realities.
