Connecting Agencies to Better Serve Washington
The Enterprise Data Platform helps Washington state agencies securely share data, collaborate across programs, and turn information into better decisions for residents.
Why EDP Exists
EDP helps agencies securely share data across systems so leaders can see patterns across agencies, understand what works, and improve services statewide. The Enterprise Data Platform (EDP) is authorized to support data up to Category 4*, including FedRAMP and FERPA-aligned data.
Today, agencies often report and manage data in different formats and timelines, which makes it difficult to see statewide performance and requires manual effort to connect information.
What Agencies Can Do With EDP
With the Enterprise Data Platform, agencies can:
- Share data securely across agencies.
- Build shared dashboards and reporting.
- Automate data pipelines and analysis.
- Improve consistency in statewide reporting.
EDP connects systems across government so agencies can collaborate without replacing their existing systems.
Impact for Washington Residents
When agencies share trusted data:
- Services become more consistent across state agencies.
- Service and permitting gaps are identified faster.
- Transparency and accountability improve in government performance.
