Government Technology

Ranks of government CDOs grow as agencies implement analytics.

The critical tool for the city is data.

The story of the Data Warehouse – and how it came about – is a prime example of how communities and governments can leverage new technology to improve human services administration.

The state has saved $6.5 million by closing the field offices and replacing them with a network of thin client PCs. When the savings is subtracted from the cost of the new technology, the overall expense for the state is $10,000, according to Bateman.

The U.S. Cluster Mapping Project is a national initiative that provides open data about regional clusters and economies to support U.S. business, innovation and policy.

"The logistics just didn’t make sense, and luckily with Open Data we had an immediate solution that allowed our business to start going. The key is to get going as soon as possible. The longer you wait, you will never take action."

This new ease of access will lead to innovation in how residents interact with government, resulting in social and economic benefits for the City.

So how are organizations preparing for the coming ‘new normal’ in technological innovation? The topic of next generation networks is a complex one, but this brief ZDNet video provides a good tutorial to begin.

It’s the kind of smart city project that would make any public official happy.

The state has enlisted the services of Krohl Inc., a New York-based computer investigations firm, to get to the bottom of what happened and what and whose data, if any, was compromised.
