Data can transform public sector and the services it delivers to citizens by making incremental improvements to the city\u2019s infrastructure.<\/p>\n

First, imagine that you are a civic leader. Your city is becoming more crowded, citizens are demanding citizen-centric services, and your resources are dwindling.

Public sector can solve the below three challenges in this decade with help from Microsoft CityNext and our partners:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Ensuring systems cope with massive amounts of data<\/li>\n
  2. Increasing officials\u2019 ability to handle data<\/li>\n
  3. Making better use of government data<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
