DAERA Information Hub

Welcome to our Digital Leaders 100 Awards entry in the categories of " Geospatial Innovation of the Year " and " Big Data Innovation of the Year ".

We have created this StoryMap to showcase why we should win, using the very technology that the DAERA Information Hub is built on... Esri  ArcGIS 

The implementation of the DAERA Information Hub has been transformational and enabled the department to identify, view, and bring together their data in a completely different way, enabling more informed and effective policymaking decisions. Using the Information Hub the department can better understand how inputs and processes influence outcomes for food production, pollution, and climate change in NI. The development of an Emergency Portal within the Information Hub is another important tool for the department, helping provide valuable and near real-time information to senior management and staff across the department to better deal with key issues during the Covid-19 pandemic.

From Clipboard to Dashboard: The Department of Agriculture, Environment, and Rural Affairs (DAERA) has undergone a seismic shift in its operating model through this Digital Transformation Project. Our Information Hub implemented in partnership with Esri Ireland has and will continue to bring benefits, to not only DAERA but to the Farm businesses, the Economy, and the Environment of Northern Ireland. DAERA and Esri Ireland have combined world-class technology, with high-quality management and implementation processes to create the truly innovative Information Hub.

Thank you for taking the time to review our entry for the Digital Leaders 100 Awards 2021. We hope you have enjoying exploring our StoryMap and we leave you with a short video further outling the capabilities and benefits provided by the DAERA Information Hub.
