Reducing Complexity, Accelerating Insight: Building the Platform for AI-Driven Decisions for the Public Sector

Tuesday 21st October 2025

About

Public sector organisations are under increasing pressure to do more with less — to deliver faster, smarter, and fairer decisions powered by trusted data and responsible AI. Yet the reality for most is a landscape defined by fragmentation, duplicated systems, and operational complexity that slows progress.

In this session, Dan Westley, Head of Cloud Engineering for Oracle UK Public Sector, explores how simplifying data architecture is the key to accelerating insight and enabling AI to deliver real public value. He’ll show how a unified data platform can connect information across silos, embed governance by design, and unlock AI capabilities such as vector search and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) — safely and at scale.

Through real public-sector examples, you’ll see how reducing complexity doesn’t just optimise technology — it transforms outcomes for citizens.
