Do you know what questions to ask your IT staff and how to take advantage of the efficiencies new technology affords efforts to deliver high-quality service to your residents? Are you confused by all the media coverage of big data, open data and apps?

Today, Bonnie Svrcek announced the #LocalGov Technology Alliance and education campaign that will help you understand the role that technology will play in the future of local government.  This is a topic near and dear to my heart as I've spent most of the last seven years researching how local governments are using geographic information systems (GIS) technology and data from 311/CRM systems to make better policy decisions and improve daily operations.  Local governments have been incredibly innovative in this arena and we hope share those innovations with you through this project.

Here you’ll find posts from guest bloggers, experts and members to help you navigate the complex world of today’s technology.
