Reduce expenses through deferred hardware replacement
Budget Savings Decisions Result in “Cloud First” Policy & Operations
Mobile Adoption Growing
Mobile Government Objectives.
• Deliver service and common experience across multiple platforms at lowest possible cost.
• Leverage hybrid (open/prop.) technologies (HTML5, javascript frameworks, etc) to build cross platform solution.
• Lay flexible foundations to accommodate changes in fast evolving mobile technology space.

New Government IT Approach
Old Approach1. Problem(s) Identified
2. Funding requested or projects prioritized
3. Progress limited by process or resources available
4. Frustration due to lack of progress or missed opportunities
New Approach1. Data made available to
everyone
2. Needs identified or challenges issued
3. Events coordinated
4. Solutions generated
5. Progress linked to public interest or demand

Less funding, less staff, more community interest
Open Data
• Launch of DataSF.org in Aug 2009• Over 280 datasets published• Over 60 applications developed• Open data legislation issued in Nov 2010

Community Collaboration to Build Applications
Consumer and Private Business Developed Applications
More Data = More Applications
Joint Data Sharing Platforms
CIO’s from 7 large cities working together to normalize 1,500 datasets on a common platform for multi-city application development.

Challenges & Ideas
Challenge• City silo affect - the
political invisible boundary.
• Long term sustainability of application ecosystem.
• User adoption and use
Ideas• Joint Sharing Sites.• Easy to use API’s.• Data Standardization
and normalization.• Joint G7+ collaboration
to innovate will create national / global solutions
• Good Mobile apps will be more widely used and adopted.
