AWS Partners help public sector organizations harness the power of data

Post updated on May 2, 2024

The challenge of becoming a data-driven organization

Organizations deal with ever-growing data volumes. The Worldwide IDC Global DataSphere Forecast, 2023–2027, estimated that 129 zettabytes would be generated in 2023, with expectations for this volume to more than double by 2027. This means that growth-minded businesses must put data at the heart of every application, process, and decision. How you use your organization’s data is the key to accelerating innovation and accomplishing your organizational goals.

However, finding ways to put the increasing number of data streams to work for your organization can be a challenge. Only 23.9 percent of companies describe themselves as data-driven, and a mere 20.6 percent claim to have successfully developed a data culture within their organizations, according to NewVantage Partners’ Data and Analytics Leadership Annual Executive Survey 2023.

Organizations recognize that becoming data-driven is vital for future-proofing their businesses and making impactful decisions that are based on evidence, not gut feelings. But for many sectors, including the public sector, it can be difficult to harness the technical expertise needed to achieve this. Amazon Web Services (AWS) and AWS Partners can help fill that gap.

How AWS and AWS Partners can help unlock more value from your data

AWS provides a comprehensive set of data capabilities designed to help government, education, nonprofit, and healthcare organizations analyze and interpret data, optimize data strategy, and break down silos. These capabilities provide insights around your data to help you compete, grow, and serve your customers’ needs, now and in the future.

But AWS delivers more than just analytics, business intelligence, databases, machine learning, and generative AI, among many other services.
