Abstract:

The key for conducting reliable ex-ante and ex-post governmental policy analysis relies on the accessibility to relevant and accurate databases, which becomes a must for the government institutions in order to take informed decisions and assess the impact of the past macro-economic policies. Thus, in this paper we develop a solution for dealing with these issues by adopting a comprehensive set of identity management maintenance steps, including data governance, data migration and unified reporting mechanisms. Because analysis cross-government database system is such a resource intensive task, continuous data maintenance identity management is a must. This is achieved via program governance specific activities that should not change when there are changes at political level. The data maintenance process should be continuous and should have the objective of insuring that the links between relevant systems are kept. Moreover, having a good identity management practice gives the benefit of offering personalized government services to the population.
