Overview
Across California, state agencies and local governments are modernizing the way they manage information. By collecting and sharing information as open data – accessible to all, electronically standardized – governments can be truly transparent to the Californians they serve. But open data doesn’t just deliver transparency; it simplifies internal processes, too.
The Data Coalition and Grant Thornton host the third annual California Data Demo Day. The event brought together state agency officials and legislators to explore the benefits of open data, inside and outside government. Our executive-branch panelists shared stories of open data success sourced from their agencies. Legislative leaders explained how future reforms can drive further transparency and efficiency. Exhibitors will showed how once governments choose to standardize and publish their information as open data, technological solutions can republish, analyze, and automate.
