A Data Maturity and Transformation Journey

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.

Most 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.
