"We are glad to partner industry players, Tableau in this instance, to elevate the data analysis and visualisation skills of public officers, for them to find new and better ways in delivering government services to the public. As part of our digital government transformation, our aim is for more public officers to be able to understand and make use of data. This will help us accelerate Singapore’s progress towards building a Smart Nation,” said Jacqueline Poh, Chief Executive, GovTech.

The collaboration will also give public agencies access to a bespoke selection of content, learning resources, and subject matter experts from Tableau.

JY Pook, Senior VP, Asia Pacific, Tableau, commented: “At Tableau, we aim to help everyone see and understand data and government organisations are no exception. We have been committing our resources to support government organisations across the globe through our software and enablement programmes, allowing them to easily and quickly access, analyse, and share their data. Data is a strategic asset in all aspects of government and when presented clearly, it has enormous potential to improve mission critical outcomes.”
