Project Overview

Purpose:

Provide technical guidance, identify/gather/document/analyze business and technical requirements, and assist with solution design, implementation, processes, and support of technology projects and data projects. The projects that this role will be involved in will have a data-centric focus.

Contribute to projects related to BI and data visualization, integrated data and analytics platform/enterprise data lake, data and information sharing web portals, advanced analytics (AA), artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML).

Background:

The Government of Alberta (GoA) provides a number of services to Albertans. Every ministry provides a unique set of services. In doing so, large amounts of data are generated on a daily basis. GoA is in a position to use this data for the social good of its citizens by transforming the way it organizes itself, run its processes and make decisions.

The growing expectation of citizens is just one of the challenges facing governments today. Rapid urbanization, an aging population and complex socio-economic problems are putting public services under strain. With low economic growth that resulted in lower budgets, GoA need to find solutions that are both efficient and sustainable.

Globally, the private sector uses AA/AI/ML technologies to autombubuate tasks, make better decisions and improve customer experience. GoA recognizes the potential of these technologies to transform the way they organize themselves and run its processes. By use of such technologies, GoA can anticipate the expectations of citizens, create new services, and take appropriate action to provide services to enhance and secure their lives. Being a public body, there is a distinction in how use of such technologies would provide additional benefits to the GoA, as compared to the private sector.

GoA already has self-serve data visualization tools in place (e.g. SAS Visual Analytics, MS Power BI). Integrated data and analytics platform (data lake - Cloudera Data Platform) is in the later stages of implementation in the GoA. AI/ML tools are mainly in the conceptual or planning phase in GoA, although there may already be small pockets of implementation.
