The federal government collects mountains of data from its citizens. However, knowing how best to organize, manage, and extract insights from these large, diverse data sets is a challenge.  Enter data analytics. 

The good news: Most state and federal governments have begun to recognize the benefits of applying analytics. In fact, a Fortune article reports that “McKinsey & Co. estimates that by digitizing information, disseminating public data sets, and applying analytics to improve decision making, government agencies can act as catalysts for more than $3 trillion in economic value.”
