How we can help you drive change with data

Emergency services operate in some of the most challenging and extreme environments to serve and protect our communities.

We work with emergency services, including the police , fire, and ambulance to help them use digital transformation to deliver the right services and engagement, to the right citizens at the right time, for a more effective and efficient service.

Central government data management

Maintaining accurate data is a key concern for central government. In fact, the Digital and Data Roadmap for 2022-2025, set a target of ensuring 50% of high-priority data quality issues are resolved as part of a cross-government framework. Achieving this will be no easy feat. But, in the digital age, it is essential. Tools such as our Data Quality service supports central government in finding the right solution, combining purpose-built data management software and reference data.

Build a single customer account

Different departments have different priorities and, as such, use data in different ways. If everything isn’t synced up, this can lead to duplicated, incorrect, and inaccurate information. Consolidating data sources so they work together will prevent these issues from occurring.

Solutions for building a single customer account

Single Customer View helps you to create a complete understanding of your customers by consolidating all the data you hold about them in a single place.

Understand your citizens

Central government has a responsibility to deliver services that work for their citizens, in an efficient and effective way. To achieve this, you need to understand your citizens, their behaviours, and their needs. And it doesn’t stop there. Once you have an accurate view of your citizens and their behaviours, you need the right tools to make sense of the data.

The right help for the right people

The first step in ensuring the right help gets to the right people is to check that you are dealing with the individual you think you are. Every UK citizen has their own unique data point, which enables you to prevent mistakes in identification for services, applications and benefits.

Solutions to ensure helping the right people

Stop fraud in its tracks

Fraud costs the public purse billions of pounds every year – money that could be spent on vital services, particularly in times of increasing cuts. With better data and more effective verification processes, you can reduce the impact of fraud on government budgets, optimise revenue, and reduce collection losses.

Optimise government debt recovery

Governmental departments have a responsibility to collect outstanding public debts, but they must do this in a way that is fair to debtors and avoids causing financial hardship for citizens, particularly in the current economic climate. Having the right insights can help you to collect debt effectively while treating debtors fairly.

Track down debtors

With millions of records, one of the biggest tasks in collecting public debt is tracing those who owe money. Cross-checking data and ensuring it is always up-to-date can help you to locate citizens and debtors and improve the success of the debt resolution process.

Reduce the risk of bad debt

Lending to those who may not be able to pay it back increases the risk of bad debt significantly. Having a full picture of any potential debtor allows you to adapt any offer to match their financial means, lowering the risk involved for both parties.
