Gaining Momentum

The Government Analytics Research Institute (GARI) is a legitimate and verified consortium involving the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, SAS, and the Institute on Governance, focused on high-value public sector analytics. However, the submission itself is of extremely poor quality, containing false claims ('everyone' reach, 'most people' traction) and nonsensical data ('marketcap' for revenue). While the project's real-world utility and verified partnerships are strong, the score is heavily penalized due to the unreliable and unprofessional submission details.

Government Analytics Research Institute is a consortium of the University of Ottawa, Carleton University, the University of Quebec en Outaouais, SAS and the Institute on Governance. Our expertise is in applied analytics at all levels: visualizations, simulations, predictive analytics and Artificial Intelligence (AI). Our research focuses on Proofs-of-Concept (POCs), developing long-term digital strategies, and developing teams and organizational processes to enable the use of advanced analytics in government organizations. We also publish a magazine - "Analytics in Government Quarterly", a quarterly professional journal dedicated to publishing objective and insightful articles on the use and application of big data and advanced analytics in federal, provincial and municipal government levels in Canada. The journal features insights and opinions from well-known and respected thought leaders, top executives in the industry and senior government officials who would share their knowledge, experience, and success stories in this field.
