Our government customer is in the process of bringing its infrastructure asset data into one master source and is currently acquiring data on a just-in-time basis to meet specific reporting requirements. This data is sourced through structured data already held within the clients Data Warehouse or various data sets/spreadsheets acquired both internally and externally from our industry partners.
Frequently, reports are often derived from multiple data sets, for example, only 8% of data supporting the Service Information Pack (SIP) is directly from the client's master data source.
When multiple data sets are in play, the process to meet reporting needs is protracted and the need to fix data quality prior to be it being manipulated adds increased delay, adding a significant proportion to the overall delivery times, and additional pressure on our permanent resources.
The proposed data surge activity will target the key data areas determined as priority and essential to understanding the estate through the developing Organisational Information Requirements (OIR), Asset Information Requirements (AIR), and emerging government mandated requirements resulting from initiatives such as InSite and Government Construction Metrics (GCM).
After a period of requirements gathering there have been 1,200 corporate reporting metrics that underpin key data reporting requirements.
- Currently there are 30 categories, covering 1300 metrics (this is growing) and the client are looking for a Data Analyst to take a metric and a list of business contacts (or a single starting PoC) and be tasked with finding out where the data that fulfils each metric sits.
- Some of the metrics will lead to further work (ie new metrics and/or new data uncovered), some will require further investigation within the business, and some will not be able to be measured (ie if they are a policy - ones that cannot be measured or that are already complete will be marked as complete on the project plan).
- The successful candidate will report into the Project Manager, who will give weekly updates on progress
- Provide documentation to hand onto technical teams (will be an agreed template)
- This is very much task/objective driven (ie x number of metrics ticked off per week or month).
