Overview

Introduction

State and local governments are using the four technology components of BI - data integration, analysis, reporting and performance management - as part of broader back office reform strategies. In the future, Datamontior expects agencies to use BI collaboratively with GIS and eGovernment.

Scope

• Analysis of the technology components of BI
• Discussion of current uses of BI by state and local governments
• Predictions of future directions governments will take with BI

Report Highlights

BI incorporates functionality that integrate, analyze, report and manage data. These features work together to enable back office reform by providing governments with insights into their processes and gain intelligence from captured data.

As agencies develop results-oriented government strategies, BI enables them to track progress towards goals and report results to internal and external stakeholders.

Governments are also investigating expanding their usage of BI to leverage investments in GIS and eGovernment solutions.
