Richmond to use cloud-based, internal
data-sharing solution to support citywide collaboration and
accountability
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that the
city of Richmond, California, launched a new Open Data Transparency
data program powered by Tyler’s Socrata® platform, Socrata
Connected Government Cloud. The city will use this advanced
approach to manage performance reporting, capital projects, and
data sharing across the organization.
Transparent Richmond provides the public a more advanced and
user-friendly way to view and interact with municipal information
like financial data, major development projects, and infrastructure
improvement projects. The open data platform currently contains
over 300 datasets, visualizations, and performance measures, many
of which feature monthly, weekly and daily updates.
“People want to know how well their government is addressing
issues they care about,” said Mayor Tom Butt. “Our open data
platform is designed to make information gathering easier and more
accessible than ever before, and that’s a great benefit for both
the public and city staff,” the mayor continued.
The city of Richmond first launched an open data platform in
2016 under an Obama administration effort to release more police
data, which was closely followed by the city’s creation of a
Climate Action Plan open data site. Transparent Richmond, powered
by Tyler’s Socrata platform, aims to improve the collective
understanding of all city services, automate performance data to
help track and meet budget and service goals, and leverage
evidence-based analysis to develop innovative solutions that
improve the quality of city services.
“There’s an old saying, ‘If you can’t measure it, you can’t fix
it,’” said Mayor Butt. “Ultimately, this online tool will help the
city make more data informed decisions and be even more accountable
to the community,” the mayor concluded.
Socrata Connected Government Cloud provides a single point of
access to municipal performance data for employees working across
11 city departments. This platform will bolster high performance
and knowledge among city staff and give the community pathways to
have a voice in decisions that affect them.
“The real measures of successful data programs are the usability
of data, enabling data-driven decisions, and engaging the public
with relevant and timely information,” said Franklin Williams,
president of Tyler’s Data & Insights Division. “This technology
supports Richmond’s work to lead with data.”
