Open Government: Transparency, Participation, Collaboration

Disciplined Data Quality Management

Data increasingly supports, and sometimes determines, how we resolve our most important challenges. Government executives need practical approaches to sharing data among trusted partners and the public in order to successfully manage their missions and deliver services. CGI's experience with the Environmental Protection Agency's Central Data Exchange and with the Nationwide Health Information Network (PDF) puts CGI at the forefront of best practices for governing information exchange, including ensuring data quality and collecting, packaging and publishing data effectively.

The Open Government Directive puts the onus on agencies to implement strong internal controls on the data they expose. Leveraging more than 25 years of implementing internal controls in financial systems at more than 100 federal agencies, CGI has deep experience in designing business processes and data internal controls that routinely pass rigorous federal audits.

CGI combines this data management and internal control implementation experience in a comprehensive Disciplined Data Quality Management offering to enable agencies to confidently publish high-value, good quality auditable information.
