The Council are seeking a flexible platform to deliver data capabilities, e.g. ingestion, transformation, links to corporate presentation tools, governance, etc. This will support immediate tactical benefits around convergence of data, but also longer-term strategic objectives around predictive analytics and the ability to forecast demand on services.
