Data-Driven Reinvention
With Data-driven Reinvention, data at its core becomes the ultimate competitive asset and differentiator, and by scaling AI with cloud, organizations can reposition their offerings, extend capabilities and improve data and AI maturity to create new sources of value and sustainable growth.
Predictive Analytics• Data, analytics and AI are opening the door to new possibilities for
how Texas Public Sector agencies can improve utilization and efficiency, and have the ability (and agility) to respond to rapidly changing environments.
Applied Intelligence• Big Data Analytics examines huge, disparate data sets (i.e. big data)
to identify patterns, trends, correlations, and other information that lead to insights organizations can harness in support of better decision making
• Applied Intelligence combines AI, analytics and automation to solve your agency’s most complex problems
Responsible AI• Responsible AI is the practice of designing, developing, and
deploying AI with good intention to empower employees and businesses, and fairly impact customers and society—allowing companies to engender trust
Computer Vision• Computer Vision is all about enabling machines to “see” images as
humans do. Ideally, the computer – empowered by AI –would understand what it is seeing; assess the situation and identify suspect or out of the ordinary sequences; and advise users of needed actions.
Critical data elements Identify critical data for business transformation along with accessing and acknowledging originations essential values.
Data managements & governance A trusted approach to ensure data is managed, sustained, and directed responsibly to distribute growth and variant capabilities.
Data platform & architectureCreate a secure foundation for data and cloud architecture that can hold data for a deeper analyzation that can meet present and future needs.
Product-based organization & skillsApply principles of effective operation models to create an efficient team & processes, facilitate collaboration, and increase execution on priorities
Business adoptionIndustrialize data and A.I. as a whole to instill an analytic, data driven mindset to promote better decision making to ultimately grow business adoption of strategical priorities.
Value realizationConsistently and continuously measure the execution, experience, and impacts of business.
More than half (52%) of the organizations with future-
ready operations are already using data and analytics at
scale. Reinventing how data and AI initiatives are executed
against business strategy results in an organization that
can realize a return on investment at speed and ultimately
build the case to move from AI pilots to enterprise-wide
business transformation.

Today’s Enterprise DilemmaCybercriminals are more aggressive and more sophisticated than ever before. They have unprecedented access to user identities due to the growing number of massive data breaches around the world. These bad actors are well organized, well funded, and leverage compromised identities and accounts to conduct their attacks. These external threats – combined with increasing regulatory compliance pressures, securing the workforce and growing operational inefficiencies, means organizations can no longer depend on legacy identity governance solutions to meet these growing challenges. Traditional identity governance solutions lack enterprise-wide user access visibility and contextual risk awareness. As a result, they slow down business decision making because they are static, siloed, and do not scale to meet the dynamic nature of the modern enterprise.
ForgeRock’s AI-Driven Approach ForgeRock’s Autonomous Identity is an AI-driven identity analytics solution that enables organizations to accelerate secure access and achieve regulatory compliance while mitigating risks and reducing costs.
Enterprise-Wide Risk Visibility
• Quickly understand organizational useraccess risk posture
• Contextual awareness of who has accessto what and why
• Continuously identify high-risk access
Boost Operational Efficiency
• Automated AI-driven risk visibility, analysisand reporting of user access
• Focus organizational effort on the areasthat present the most risk
• Allows productivity shift so teams canfocus on and address higher priority tasks
Accelerates Decision-Making
• Empowers decision makers to allow/remove user access based on risk
• Take action based on confidence scores,not static roles/entitlements
• Automate high confidence access toeliminate unnecessary requests, reviews,certifications, and approvals
ForgeRock Autonomous Identity is an AI-Driven identity analytics solution that allows organizations to accelerate secure access, achieve regulatory compliance, mitigate risks and reduce costs.
ForgeRock Autonomous Identity AI-Driven Identity for the Modern Enterprise
By leveraging machine learning techniques, Autonomous Identity collects and analyzes identity data such as accounts, roles, and entitlements to identify security access and risk blind spots.
The solution provides organizations with wider and deeper insight into the risks associated with user access by providing enterprise-wide contextual insights, high-risk user access awareness, and remediation recommendations. ForgeRock Autonomous Identity complements and increases the business value of existing identity governance solutions by layering on top of and integrating with them.

DIR technology landscape: Exploring data and predictive analytics
Many state and local government agencies are using artificial intelligence (AI) as their primary solution to drive better services for their citizens, streamline IT infrastructure costs and reduce call volume while improving overall efficiency.
Genesys AI helps local, regional and national government agencies deliver service with empathy to all citizens. State and local agencies easily adopt AI, extract key insights and act on these insights to deliver the best citizen experiences using Genesys out-of-the-box, AI-driven Predictive Engagement, Conversational AI and Predictive Routing products.
Conversational AI
Conversational AI allows you to put voicebots or chatbots to work in your agency. Using
natural language, customers can self-serve by engaging in conversations instead of accessing
complicated menus. And more complex interactions can be passed through to a live agent with all
history and context preserved.
Predictive engagement
Maintaining service levels with fewer agents puts many agencies under severe stress. Without
an understanding of which citizens are most in need of urgent assistance, organizations waste
resources on those who could self-serve. Powered by AI, Genesys Predictive Engagement
identifies, prioritizes and proactively engages the citizens who are most vulnerable or in need. It
deflects others to digital channels and self-service options. Proactively reaching out to citizens
using a chatbot or employee-assisted bot when they get to a “Contact us” page reduces calls into
the contact center.
Predictive routing
When chatbots and voicebots handle more standard incoming citizen queries and concerns, live
agents can handle — and personalize — more complex or sensitive queries. Citizens now expect
government agencies to offer the same level of personalized service as their banks and insurance
companies. And they want agents to resolve their issues within the first call.
Without personalization, state and local governments often pass citizens from agent to agent or
transfer them to another department within the state. Using AI to direct citizens to the best agent
based on the individual interaction dramatically increases the odds of first-call resolution — and
reduces the need to transfer callers to another agent.
Genesys Predictive Routing runs in real time, using AI to match customers to agents most likely to
deliver the best citizen experiences and increase your contact center efficiency. Genesys Predictive
Routing continuously analyzes more than 100 data points to find patterns and predict outcomes.
And it frequently retrains itself to optimize for average handle time, transfer rate and more.

Google Cloud promotes democratizing machine learning - helping our customers advance beyond traditional analytics methods to adopting the power of machine learning for identifying patterns in data to solve business problems...and you don’t have to be a machine learning data scientist to succeed with Google Cloud. Our AutoML service portfolio enables ‘one-click’ creation of advanced deep learning models, and with Document AI, agencies can automate document data capture at scale to accelerate document processing and reduce related costs.
Google Cloud Document AI
Document AI enables automated data capture at scale to reduce document processing costs. Document AI is built on decades of AI innovation at Google, bringing powerful and useful solutions to these challenges.

Data-Driven Digital Transformation
Imagine if you could anticipate and respond to the needs of citizens faster, gain insights from a wide range of data, and improve planning for the future?
As State Government Agencies continue to drive toward greater digital transformation, they want faster ways to innovate. With digital transformation through cloud technologies, agencies can rapidly modernize their systems, taking advantage of vast resources while ensuring the best use of time and budget. This means they can achieve better citizen services while driving stronger governance, compliance, and accountability.
