To drive meaningful decisions, data needs to be optimally aggregated, managed, used, and protected. This requires government entities to keep up with technological and data innovation, which moves fast.

At Sowen we work with local and federal government bodies and entities to identify, implement, adopt, and scale the use of data and technology tools, processes, and knowledge. We focus on tangible, relevant and realistic solutions that align with the priorities and limitations of government work, and still advance the creation of a data driven organization and culture.

Many cities use an array of different systems and platforms to collect, manage, store, and report on data related activities and projects. This often leads to lack of integration, collaboration and alignment between or even within city departments, agencies, and teams.

Sowen works with cities and departments to define needs, assess current solutions, identify better ones, implement and adopt, and then measure their impact on processes, outputs, and outcomes.

There is no shortage of available information. Identifying and leveraging the right information is often a much bigger challenge. We work with cities, counties, states and government agencies to separate signals from noise, and to use these signals to improve the design, deployment, measurement and ongoing optimization of critical products and services that improve the lives and well being of city residents, visitors, and businesses.

Not all city residents and businesses have equal access to technology and data. This digital divide creates an unequal distribution of information, services, and opportunity, which feed into and exacerbate existing social and economic inequalities.

We work with cities to help identify and close digital divides, and enable fair, equitable access to information, opportunity, and resources to all city residents, businesses, and communities.

Cyber attacks have dramatically increased in the past 5 years. Cities collect huge amounts of rich data that must be collected, managed, stored, and used with the utmost careand with high standards of privacy and breach protections.

We work with local and federal governments to assess, procure, implement, and measure the modern solutions required to keep up with the ever increasing threats of data breaches and attacks, and transparently, proactively communicate these activities to critical stakeholders.

Government entities are in a constant struggle to do more with less. At Sowen, we work with government entities to identify areas of potential efficiency optimization, cost savings, or revenue creation.

We facilitate Private- Public- Partnerships, and design direct or indirect revenue streams that complement, and often eclipse government funding allocations. We help them implement tools, technologies, and processes from the private sector so they can operate like a business, and drive maximum impact.

Whether to residents, tourists, businesses, or other government offices and officials, governments have a continual and constant need to tell great stories of impact.

At Sowen, we work with governments to analyze their stakeholder universe, and identify the value propositions that matter most to relevant audiences.

We then help them define and aggregate specific metrics that showcase the tangible impact made, and create beautiful, emotive stories that reach audiences, change minds, and warm hearts through dashboards, reports, speaches, presentations, social media, or any other relevant communication platforms.
