How can government agencies improve data quality?
Government agencies can improve data quality by following best practice frameworks such as DAMA’s data management principles and the UK Government Data Quality Framework. Key steps include establishing strong governance, identifying critical datasets, standardising data collection, automating quality checks, and maintaining comprehensive metadata. Building a culture of continuous improvement ensures data is accurate, timely, and reliable for decision-making and public trust. Butterfly Data helps agencies implement these frameworks with expert guidance, tailored strategies, and practical tools to embed high-quality data practices across departments.
What steps can government departments take with legacy systems to enhance security and data resilience?
Legacy systems are often ill-equipped to handle modern cybersecurity threats, lacking continuous support from the technology developer. We can support the modernisation of platforms and systems, including migrating to cloud-based and open-source solutions, to reduce exposure to such threats.
What are the benefits of data science in public sector strategies?
Government agencies can leverage data science to improve efficiencies and intelligence in public services through AI and machine learning. We help unlock benefits including improved decision-making, targeted resource allocation, fraud detection, predictive maintenance, and evidence-based policy development.
