Establishing New South Wales’ Data Analytics Centre and creating a regime where government entities are compelled to hand over data to it could rank as Victor Dominello’s single biggest achievement in public life, the NSW minister for innovation and better regulation told a conference today.
Addressing the Gartner Business Intelligence, Analytics & Information Management Summit in Sydney, the minister said that the DAC, established last year, had the potential to deliver better outcomes for NSW communities in areas ranging from fighting childhood obesity to efficient use of public safety resources.
“Governments that don’t have data, governments that don’t have information, make decisions in the dark – and that’s not good for any of us,” Dominello said.
