These days, Open Government Data (OGD) is gaining momentum in providing sharing of knowledge by making public data and information of governmental bodies freely available to private citizens in system processable formats so as to reuse it for mutual benefits. OGD is a global movement and has its roots in the initiative started in 2009 by the US President as a Memorandum on Transparency and Open Government providing transparency in government projects and collaborations through sharing of data by public administration and industry to private citizens. Indian Government also has joined this initiative and provides free access to the data for development of applications, etc., so as to be able to reuse the information for mutual growth of industry and government. Open Data is the raw data made available by governments, industry, as well as NGOs, scientific institutions, and educational organizations and as such is not an individual’s property.

The growth in the field of Open Data surely asks for new tools and techniques that can support it. Digital transformation needs companies to look out for new tools and techniques so as to be able to support the increasing need for faster delivery of services at large numbers of delivery points. Technologies like SaaS, mobile, and Internet of Things are gaining grounds in providing increase in endpoints and thus enabling the success of Open Data Initiative.
