Your needs

Sharing data internally and externally helps public officials deliver better services to citizens. It supports greater openness and accountability strengthening democracy and trust, all while promoting greater economic development.

Your challenges

Organizations still too often produce and store data in silos. Administrative complexity and governance structures reinforces this siloing, concentrating data and data skills in the hands of small groups of experts. This makes it impossible to share information and insights across the organization and with external stakeholders, such as citizens and partners. This impacts performance, collaboration and trust in public authorities.

Our solution

Opendatasoft helps you standardize and securely collect all of your data and then use it to create digital experiences that democratize access through reporting pages, data stories and consumer-facing applications. Our platform allows you to improve the quality both of your information and the public services that depend on it, better engaging officials, restoring trust with citizens and stimulating economic development.

We need to simplify communication so data can be used by many people and officials can better process citizens' requests. The goal is to create a community around data which provides a knowledge base for the Ministry that can serve the entire organization.

Getting rid of data silos modernizes, improves and simplifies public service

Increase administrative efficiency

Bring all your data together in a single platform that's accessible to all. Allow employees to create datasets and reporting pages to increase efficiency. Save time by producing data files once, enable better decision-making through reliable information and increase value from your data via re-use.

Promote collaboration and simplify governance

Deploy a portal of common data and repositories that can be shared by multiple administrations, segmented to their needs. Promote inter-departmental dialogue, facilitate effective communication between central administration and decentralized services, improve the monitoring of new initiatives and promote skills and information transfer across the public sector.

Explain and justify government actions

Create and share data stories that clearly communicate your activities and simply explain complex procedures and actions. Reassure citizens by providing transparency on the awarding of public contracts, state aid, grants and taxation.

Strengthening your people’s digital literacy

Give your employees the ability to create data experiences quickly and easily, whatever their skill level and role. Seamlessly share technical know-how and data intelligence with others to develop a strong, independent data culture, accelerating change and driving digital transformation of public services.

Develop innovative services for citizens and businesses

Make the right information available to the general public or to targeted partners through standard datasets, data visualizations, or self-service APIs. By properly sharing general interest data, such as the geolocation of cultural institutions, Covid-19 vaccination numbers, or corporate legal data, you enable applications and services to be developed that both benefit society and increase economic progress.

Measure and share the results of public activities

Develop clear, fact-based dashboards that show the results of public policies and actions. Demonstrating the concrete impact of reforms and government activities increases public satisfaction, which is essential for building public trust and confidence.
