MunicipalitiesData Platform

Discover how the Municipal Data Platform helps your municipality make smart use of data. From data access to insights and action, DPG is the all-in-one platform for municipal services.

Macaw helps municipalities derive greater value from their data. Not only to strengthen data-driven work across the organization for better public services and more efficient operations. Issues such as digitization, customized services, sustainability, mobility, permitting, oversight & enforcement, and social services also increase the need for reliable and accessible municipal data and information.

Furthermore, the rapid emergence and adoption of AI within municipalities necessitate a “trusted” data foundation. This requires not only robust technology but also a partner who understands the municipal context.

Faculty and Administration

You want to maintain control over public services, quality of life, and operational management. Data-driven management, the ability to provide transparent accountability to the city council and residents, and preparedness for future social and financial challenges. With the DPG, you’ll have access to comprehensive, clear, and reliable management information that supports policy and mitigates risks. No more scattered reports—just one clear narrative based on facts.

Functional Departments and Staff Units

From social services to public spaces and from finance to HR. You want to use concrete insights to better serve residents, organize processes more efficiently, and respond promptly to trends and signals. More efficient operations directly contribute to better service delivery and provide more room to invest in social initiatives.

IT and
Information Management

You’re looking for a stable, secure, and future-proof solution that fits seamlessly into the municipality’s IT landscape. The Municipal Data Platform is built on Microsoft technology, requires minimal maintenance, is scalable, and grows alongside the organization. This creates a sustainable foundation for data-driven operations and, when the municipality is ready, AI-driven municipal services.

What Does the Municipal Data Platform Offer?

DPG is the data platform for municipalities. The DPG was developed for and in collaboration with the municipal sector and is therefore perfectly suited to the unique needs and challenges of local government. The DPG is an integrated data platform for data access, data modeling, and modern dashboards for end users. It contributes to a reliable, validated, and comprehensive information system that meets the information needs of all users—from the administration and executive management to support services and policy departments, and from the social sector to public spaces. Management and accountability are based on municipal standards and themes within the four domains: Social, Physical, Economic, and Safety. And not only within these domains, but also across them. Working across domains ensures more effective service delivery to citizens and society. An integrated information system is crucial for this.

DPG is a standard solution, yet it offers complete freedom. DPG is deployed in the municipality’s own tenant, utilizing standard connectors for the most commonly used municipal systems, sector-specific data models, and pre-designed Power BI reports for many domains. At the same time, the municipality retains full control: data remains within its own tenant, and teams can get to work on their own, enriching, customizing, or developing entirely custom dashboards. Effortlessly combine data from, for example, case management systems, the social sector, financial systems, MOR data, and geographic sources. An approach and solution that builds on standards (Municipal Data Model/GGM), prioritizes social issues, and ensures compliance with governance requirements (GDPR/security).
