Using Data to Drive a Data-Driven City

Presented by Collin Boyce and Rob Gerth from the City of Lansing at the 7th annual Great Lakes Business Intelligence & Big Data Summit on March 7, 2019. The City of Lansing will be sharing our experience with data analytics and its application within the City of Lansing and the approach used to provide statistical analysis on City data with regard to Law Enforcement, Fire Safety, Code Enforcement, Neighborhood Development, and Public Service. This solution increased reporting efficiency, reduced cost, and created new levels of transparency within the city.

Robert Gerth (Data Analyst for the City of Lansing) and Collin Boyce (Chief Information Officer) will share how the city of Lansing utilized partnerships with Qlik, TimeXtender (data warehouse automation), SSRS and smart-sourcing professional assistance to build a unique ecosystem. This platform provided insights and cross synergies of the city data. We will also discuss our roadmap to integrate real-time analytics, predictive modeling and premium data access into the Business Intelligence Architecture.
