City operation characteristics are quantitatively expressed through data, but these data are scattered in various government departments. Tongfang's role is to collect data about city operation characteristics from various departments, help city managers summarize and analyze the data, and ultimately manage the quantitative form of city characteristics, i.e., various types of data, for use by government managers.

Every decision made by government departments requires long-term research, and the research information comes from the long-term accumulation of government departmental operations and city operations. The rapid development of government informatization has enabled the government to generate hundreds of terabytes of data. However, the data itself has no meaning, and the value of the data can only be realized after certain systematic analysis. Every detail of a smart city generates huge amounts of data, and at the same time, the basis for the operation of a smart city comes from the in-depth analysis of big data.

The surface of big data is a series of static data piles, but its essence is the dynamic process of arriving at a series of laws after a complex analysis of the data. Government departments themselves do not go to do such a thing, which requires enterprises to support them. Tongfang saw the importance of big data for city operation, and chose the government as a breakthrough, which is the requirement of the development of the situation, and also the unique features of Tongfang's big data. It is worth stating that Tongfang Big Data does not participate in governmental decision-making, but only provides data support for governmental decision-making. It uses the visual form of data to show the relationship between business, uses data to show the changes and trends of urban development, analyzes and summarizes the problems of the city, and provides assistance to the decision-making of government departments.

The management of urban operational characteristics also requires the promotion of big data. Big data in reflecting the city's operating characteristics, do not need to understand the main business and operational processes of the city department, purely from the point of view of the data, through the computer software to analyze the data after the data can come up with some laws, not related to the business, not related to the results, but can fully reflect the correlation between the data. From the perspective of big data, driving the development of urban operational signs, is a pure computer operation mode that can be shaved out of the manpower in the pre-decision section, which has the benefit of quantification and standardization of the operation.
