Past Events

5/22/12 Data.Colorado.Gov- Colorado’s Open Data Portal Project for Data Transparency, an event co-sponsored by OIT, Colorado Technology Association (CTA) and the Statewide Internet Portal Authority (SIPA) featuring speakers from OIT and Socrata
This session will cover all the details and information on the launch of data.colorado.gov, Colorado’s new open data portal for government and data transparency. Recently the Office of Information Technology and SIPA have signed a contract with a vendor to use an open data cloud platform and social technologies to deliver better citizen access to information, modernize online service delivery and improve internal efficiencies. With data.colorado.gov, the State of Colorado goes beyond compliance and puts the States data to work for all of its constituents – technical, non-technical, professional and developer. The data is only published once, but the constituents consume it in many ways: interactively online, using visualizations, via downloads, through an API, or even over the phone. They are empowered to distribute the data online and socially enrich it. With every interaction the data becomes more relevant and useful. It makes it easy for organizations to publish and manage public data by streamlining the data publishing process and automating maintenance and updates. Internal stakeholders, in any department or agency, with little or no technical assistance, become first-class data publishers. It reduces the cost of application development by using Open Data API to make it easy for civic application developers and the States own IT staff to turn an organization’s data into useful applications and services for your constituents. Build web-based apps, mobile apps, mashups, IVR- and voice-based applications quickly and cost-effectively.

Apps are everywhere... and the workplace is no exception. To add to the excitement, app-enabled Smartphones and tablets are being brought to work at a higher rate than ever before. Employees are looking to get work done on their own terms, and that means on their own devices. This session is intended to offer a broad perspective of mobile including: usability and engagement, application development for multiple platforms, and current trends with wireless and BYOD (bring your own device). The expert panelists will share their experiences and successes in developing apps for their employees and customers, considerations for development, and architecture for secure mobility/network access. The discussion will offer insights on how the public sector can develop an innovative approach to mobile applications for more effective delivery of government services to citizens, and enabling the workforce in alignment with the Tech Roadmap’s “Any access, any platform, at any time” vision for the future of mobile in Colorado.
