Digital material that remains raw and is created when citizens interact with people. Information Systems (e.g. Taxisnet) seeks to capitalize on this Greek state. The processing of this data – due to its very large volume, it is characterized as big data – has been an integral part of the work of large companies for many years. For example, the number of inquiries an e-commerce network receives each day through its website provides valuable insight into the trends and habits of its customers.

For a project with a budget of 22.4 million euros, the Information Society has launched a tender.

In this direction, the Greek state is seeking funding from Recovery Fund process the ever-increasing volume of data obtained as a result of the interaction of citizens with individual systems, such as Δι@ύγεια, electronic procurement (electronic contracts), Taxisnet, e-prescription (electronic prescription) and many others. However, due to the very large volume and the many and varied sources of data production, the information is neither presented at a central point nor consolidated so that reports can be generated. As the Minister of Public and Digital Governance stated, Kyriakos Pierrakakis, “what you cannot measure, you cannot change or manage.” To this end, the Information Society, supervised by the Ministry of Digital Governance, has launched a tender for the implementation of a central hub for managing and analyzing big data.

Through this center it will be possible to collect and unify information from all government systems in order, among other things, to create performance indicators and monitor the effectiveness of individual services and institutions. The €22.4 million project will be implemented as a framework agreement, with data from a central analytics node (to be implemented by the contractor) coming from systems that support the government’s internal procedures, such as the GLK Integrated Fiscal Policy Information System (Gov ERP), Human Resources Management System (HRMS) and Payroll System (Single Payment Authority). Citizen support systems such as the Civil Registry, the e-prescription platform, the National Land Registry and the National Registry, as well as individual websites and social networks where public discussions of Greece 2.0 actions and reforms take place. For the European Commission, “data is knowledge” supporting Europe’s digital transformation by 2030. It is estimated that 175 Zb (1021 bytes) of data will be generated at the EU level by 2025, equivalent to 175 trillion. flash drives with a capacity of 1 GB each or 7.5 trillion. audio files (MP3).
