Operating in an increasingly complicated and data-rich world, the Australian Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources invested heavily in its data transformation journey to ensure it could continue to deliver value to its clients while managing data efficiently.

Mission-critical priority

The Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources helps Australian businesses through science and commercialization, supporting economic growth and job creation. While on a data maturity journey, the department evolved from focusing on data storage and management to looking for new ways to increase the utility of their data, automating reporting and intelligence while ensuring data security. This involved looking at how the department could optimize its “geo-coding” and location-based information, as well as implementing a digital twin.

  • Support from thought leaders in the data governance space
  • Second data strategy evaluation support
  • Business case development and performance, data literacy reviews
  • Benchmarking internally and against other government and nongovernment organizations
  • The ability to connect with peers regularly and during conferences, such as Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo®
  • Access to networks both nationally and internationally

Business impact

  • Is building a data-driven organization, positioning itself as a thought leader
  • Increased cost savings through reporting and intelligence automation
