LONDON, UK – 26th August 2021 — /BackupReview.info/ — UKCloud, the multi-cloud experts dedicated to making transformation happen across UK public sector, has today announced the launch of its specialist Strategic Data Practice to unlock the potential of UK public sector data, drive innovation, and improve public services.
A few weeks ago, the Government’s Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation (CDEI) published an insightful report that aims to assist Public Sector organisations to unlock the value of their data. This report identified the following issues: lack of incentives to share data, lack of knowledge around the value or availability of data, reputational and regulatory risks, as well as missed opportunities to use data in the public interest. The Government’s National Data Strategy examines how responsible and efficient data sharing and access can unlock the vast potential of data in the United Kingdom to drive innovation, boost productivity, create new businesses and jobs, and deliver much needed improvements to public services.
Organisations are at different stages of their digital journey, and many require guidance to digitise legacy records in the first instance, for example, patient records or digital evidence. These are essential foundations to set before organisations can digitalise and begin to use innovative tooling such as AI and IoT to drive greater levels of insight. In many instances, this is not possible due to the lack of skills and legacy IT infrastructure which inhibits innovation. UKCloud’s recent State of Digital and Data report found that only half (52%) of those surveyed believe they have the resources necessary to understand and drive efficiencies from the data they have, meaning they can’t determine its true value nor do they have the time to innovate.
Given that data is the golden thread throughout all these digital initiatives, UKCloud has today announced the launch of its Strategic Data Practice to help provide that much needed guidance and help bridge the skills gap – enabling public sector organisations to take their initiatives from idea to reality.
“UKCloud’s Data Practice team have lifted the ‘dark-art’ veil off data analytics and embedded the concept into our organisational strategic planning. Using their knowledge and enthusiasm, we have honed our strategy and identified the possibilities of what data analytics could do. Their methodology makes a difficult subject much more accessible and now forms part of our key strategic documentation. As relative newcomers to data analytics, the guidance received from UKCloud has been invaluable,” said Suzanne Constable, Deputy Director Strategic Transformation at a Government Arms-Length Body (ALB).
UKCloud’s Strategic Data Practice is founded on three key principles:
Steve Russell, UKCloud’s New Strategic Data Practice Lead said “We’ve seen from our recent State of Digital and Data Report that public sector organisations seem to lack a clear understanding of their IT estates. Our Strategic Data Practice builds on UKCloud’s enviable track-record, having hosted impressive data platforms across healthcare, education, defence and critical national infrastructure and has been created to enable organisations to bridge the deficit in internal skills so that they can begin their transformation journey from a solid strategic digital and data foundation.”
