Join Simpson Associates and Microsoft for an interactive half-day immersion into the untapped data-driven potential that awaits North East Local Authorities.

 

Councils across the North East possess a wealth of data, holding immense potential to improve citizens lives. However, they’re limited by tight budgets, modest resources, aging technologies and a constant need to demonstrate value for money, often hindering data utilisation.

We want to empower you!

Join our roundtable on Wednesday 17th April 2024 where we’ll explore how data could drive benefits for your council, the common challenges and use cases, and most importantly, how to get started.

Through a blend of roundtables and presentations we aim to uncover “how we can make better use of data across all the North East authorities.”
