Informatica launches govtech data platform
The cloud-based platform unifies data from different departments and agencies and helps government agencies deliver timely and efficient public services.
Enterprise cloud data management specialist Informatica has launched a cloud-based data management platform for state and local governments in the US.
The Intelligent Data Management Cloud (IDMC) platform currently processes more than 44 trillion transactions on the cloud each month is designed to help state and local government agencies deliver timely and efficient public services.
Unifying disparate data
All levels of government require trusted data to digitise their day-to-day operations and Informatica’s platform enables departments to integrate disparate, legacy data sources such as demographic and census data, motor vehicle information, and municipal records into a single, trusted enterprise view.
“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, organisations need solutions to aggregate, clean, catalogue, govern, and master their data,” said Jitesh Ghai, chief product officer at Informatica.
Ghai added: “State and local agencies can improve the effectiveness and efficiency of social programme implementation by powering real-time, decision-making with fit-for-purpose data.”
Informatica’s IDMC claims to provide a 360-degree view of the citizen information that unifies data across different departments and agencies. It reports that this helps increase access to consistent, trusted information, allowing workers to provide faster, more reliable, and more comprehensive services while reducing the risk of fraud, threat, and misuse of data.
It aims to help governments respond and recover from a crisis more quickly by improving visibility across agencies and enhancing collaboration and real-time analysis, delivering actionable data that improves situational awareness.

It also seeks to increase cybersecurity, data privacy and compliance. IDMC supports compliance regulation and offers unified governance and privacy solutions to protect citizens’ data.
Among the users of the platform is New York City Health and Hospitals. “Data is critical for achieving situational awareness in any health system. When Covid-19 arrived in New York City, we needed to support our medical workforce with actionable data to better respond to the pandemic – Informatica helped us do just that,” said Alexander Izaguirre, chief data officer.
