Blog Helps Digital County Winner Cut $600,000 From IT Budget

The Oakland County, Mich., Department of Information Technology has slashed more than $8 million in annual operating costs since 2003. The department has done it again — cutting nearly $600,000 from its IT budget — with its Cost Reduction/Investment Blog that lets employees make budgetary suggestions.

Deployed earlier this year on the county’s intranet, the blog helped the municipality win the top honor for counties with populations of half a million or more at the Center for Digital Government’s Digital Counties Survey awards ceremony in Nashville, Tenn., on July 26.
