Abstract

This IDC Tech Buyer Presentation examines the results of IDC Government Insights' 2022 Buyer Intelligence Survey. In January 2022, IDC Government Insights conducted a large-scale survey of U.S. government IT decision makers. The study was designed to get a detailed understanding of the drivers of buyer behavior for cybersecurity services, data management and analytics, and digital services.

This study is an initial analysis of the data management and analytics responses across all levels of government for the purpose of understanding key differences in the buyer journey between federal, state, and local government organizations.

"Data management and analytics are becoming more important to U.S. government agencies as they strive to become more data driven. Data management practices, and the analytics that pervade these data warehouses and lakes, are becoming critical to both external and internally focused service delivery. IDC believes that effective data management and analysis optimizes service delivery by consolidating an ever-expanding universe of data types; unifying the data so that it is of value across the enterprise; fostering an evidence-based service delivery environment; and safeguarding privacy and security at the enterprise level," said Alison Brooks, research vice president, IDC Smart Cities and Communities — Public Safety. "IDC Government Insights' Buyer Intelligence Survey is designed to help technology suppliers and government technology buyers, decision makers, procurement officers, and policy makers devise strategies and policies that maximize technology benefits, enable government to protect and service the public, and support sound investment decisions," said Ruthbea Yesner, VP, IDC Government Insights and Smart Cities.
