Unlock the Power of Data with PSDaaS: Transforming Data Management for Local Councils

In today's data-driven world, local councils face increasing challenges in managing and utilizing data effectively. Limited resources, high costs, and complex data systems can hinder a council's ability to make informed decisions and serve their communities efficiently. Recognizing these challenges, Data n Dashboards has developed Public Sector Data as a Service (PSDaaS) – a revolutionary solution designed to simplify data handling, enhance decision-making, and improve overall council performance.

What is PSDaaS?

PSDaaS is an innovative service that provides local councils with comprehensive tools and support to streamline their data management processes. The cornerstone of PSDaaS is the Data Lake Aotearoa New Zealand, a centralized repository offering access to over 850 datasets from more than 40 diverse sources. This vast data resource is regularly updated, ensuring that councils always have the most current information at their fingertips. Additionally, Data Lake Aotearoa New Zealand is compatible with leading analytical tools like Tableau and Power BI, enabling seamless integration and in-depth analysis.

Another key component of PSDaaS is the Community Pulse Dashboards. These dashboards offer access to over 240 interactive visualizations, covering a wide range of metrics such as population dynamics, tourism, environment, social trends, economic indicators, health, and housing. For detailed economic insights, the dashboards are powered by BERL data, providing councils with specialized economic dashboards. These tools translate complex data into clear, actionable insights, supporting responsive governance and effective community engagement.

Enhancing Council Performance

PSDaaS also includes Performance Framework Dashboards and Corporate Dashboards. These tools are designed to measure and enhance council performance through clear visualizations that transform complex data into strategic insights. By leveraging these dashboards, councils can support their strategic planning and operational efficiency, ensuring they deliver high-quality services to their communities.

One of the standout features of PSDaaS is the extensive training and ongoing support provided to ensure that council teams are proficient in using all the tools and dashboards. This comprehensive support ensures smooth operation and continuous improvement, allowing councils to focus on their core responsibilities.

Cost Efficiency and Resource Allocation

PSDaaS offers the capabilities of at least 1.5 full-time data specialists at less than half the cost, allowing councils to maximize their budgets. By outsourcing data management to PSDaaS, councils can allocate more resources to core community initiatives, ultimately benefiting the residents they serve.

Empowering Decision-Making and Community Engagement

Detailed dashboards and visualizations provide clear insights, enabling responsive governance and strategic planning. The Community Pulse Dashboards, in particular, help councils stay attuned to the needs and trends of their communities, fostering better engagement with residents and stakeholders and promoting transparency and trust.
