The Value of Real-time Information for the Public Sector


When a disaster strikes, government agencies and NGOs need access to reliable, actionable information. But as we have seen during the COVID-19 pandemic, these leaders continue to grapple with response and resilience strategies that allow them to quickly pivot and adjust when hit with a crisis or major disruption.

How does real-time information work?

  • Public sector organizations can harness the power of real-time information to ensure they know what is happening in and around the world and their local region—and that they know as soon as events occur.
