County data analytics Web portal improves citizen connectivity to government services and organizational effectiveness.
"Open data leads to mobile applications, which lead to entrepreneurial activity and academic research," he said. "Our residents clearly benefit from these applications."
The program is also intended to make the county government run more efficiently.
Following the unanimous passage of a bill supporting open government programs, Montgomery County, Md., launched a new Web portal. Called openMontgomery, the portal is the county’s hub for open government, and includes an open data website, a virtual town hall designed to garner support for new ideas, a collection of links to county services and miscellaneous information, and a mobile services site. Since the project’s launch in December 2012, the open government platform has been well received, CIO Sonny Segal told Government Technology.
According to Segal, the project will cost the county $1 million in the first year and $600,000 annually thereafter. "Getting everyone on the same page is the key to getting a program like this together," he said, explaining that support from the legislative and executive branches of government was critical to getting the project off the ground.
