• State Automated System “Administration”
• Other Policy-Making Tools andTechniques
• Conclusions
Analytical Centers in the Russian Federation
• First generation of analytical systems for policy making
• 1970s – Chile
• FOUR levels of administration as follows: 1) enterprise, 2) industry, 3) economy, 3) global.
• Engaged stakeholders at all levels
• Nearly the same time
• Soviet Union
• Nationwide automated system – OGAS
• System focus on automated management of the economy in the Soviet Union.
• When the Soviet Union dissolved
• Russian Federation continued work in analytics
• Developed Analytic Centers, each with specificfocus
Situational Centers
• Research matured in analytics
• Centers began to focus on classes of issues
• Situational centers emerged • Analytics focused on specific government functions
• Share goal is to handle big data • Most stored data is not used
• Situational centers attempt to use previously unused data
State Automated System “Administration”
• State Automated System “Admiration” (SAS “Administration” 2003) • One of the most ambitious projects to in the space of analytical
systems in the Russian public sector.
• Unified distribution of government data • Collection and analysis
• Includes • Classic Business Intelligence (BI) processing • Online Analytical Processing (OLAP) • Advanced analytics
• Supports decision making in government • SAS “Administration” is a set of information systems and information resources
implemented at three levels as follows:
• 1st Level: Central Information System • 2nd Level: Departmental • 3er Level: Regional
Other Policy-Making Tools and Techniques
Conclusions
• Situational centers • Not integrated into decision making
• Currently mainly used in crisis situations
• Capabilities not leveraged • Underutilized
• Limited funding for further research
• Centers are capable, but are not being utilized
