Protecting Sensitive Data
As government entities experience how digital transformation can help them better serve citizens, all levels of government require trusted data to digitize their day-to-day operations, Informatica asserts. Accordingly, they must integrate disparate, legacy data sources, such as demographic and census data, motor vehicle information and municipal records, into a single, trusted enterprise view.Jitesh Ghai, Informatica chief product officer, explained the intent behind the IDMC platform:"The passage of new infrastructure spending legislation in the United States requires state and local agencies to ensure that taxpayer money is responsibly budgeted, allocated, tracked and audited. With complex projects, such as highway and bridge repair, smart cities and traffic control, organizations need solutions to aggregate, clean, catalog, govern and master their data. State and local agencies can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of social program implementation by powering real-time, decision-making with fit-for-purpose data."
