How Data Fuels the Public Sector
Thank you for watching!
About the Webinar
Data is known as the ‘new oil’ in the Public Sector – it is the essential power source that keeps the Public Sector’s engines running, but bad data is like water in the fuel tank; it hampers the engine instead of powering it.
Chet Hayes, CTO of Vertosoft, and Martha Bouchot, Lead Solutions Engineer at Alation, will explore the significance and the latest trends of governed data in the Public Sector. They will also discuss the data culture maturity model and how it can help you find and understand your data better.
Martha Bouchot also lets us peek into her work with Women in Data, a nonprofit that aims to inspire and support the next generation of women in data!

Women in Data
Women in Data was created in 2015, when their founder noticed the lack of women representation as she began her journey into data. Concerned about the prospect of gender equality in a data-driven future, the first chapter of Women in Data was launched. They have since shaped Women in Data to the global community it is today. A place for data enthusiasts of all backgrounds to connect, grow, and lead together. Their mission since day one has been to increase diversity in data careers because we know representation and participation of all kinds matters, especially in growing, in-demand roles across data and technology.
