Data Engineering in e-Governance Systems


Development Academy of the Philippines
Enrollment is Closed

Course Overview

Many governments are moving towards the use of information and communication technologies (ICT) to allow citizens to easily access information and services. Electronic governance (e-Governance) deals with all regulations and policies to manage and control public service delivery, information dissemination, and citizens' participation in government decision processes through ICT. With iterative data capability and capacity build that goes with digitalization in the public sector, data can come from many disparate and siloed sources. A systematic application of data collection, data storage, database design and management, and information systems management need to be considered. This course introduces you e-governance, possible source systems, the databases that are necessary, and how to store, access, process, and manage them, in preparation for reporting, analytics, and modeling.

Note to SPARTA scholars: Upon enrollment, you will have 6 months to finish a SPARTA course. Failure to complete the course in 6 months and/or inactivity for 3 months will result in course access revocation.
