Open Data Champions behind Tyler’s Data &
Insights Solutions Celebrate Passage of Historic Act Enabling
Data-Informed Policy Making, Public Engagement, and
Collaboration
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL), the largest software
company in the U.S. solely based on providing integrated software
and technology services to the public sector, has announced its
support for the passage of the Foundations for Evidence-Based
Policymaking Act. This legislation, which includes the OPEN
Government Data Act, has been championed for the past decade by
leaders of Tyler’s Data & Insights Division, whose Socrata
solution enables compliance with this law and helps government
agencies achieve the full range of open data benefits faster, more
sustainably, and at cloud-scale.
The new law joins landmark legislation, such as the Digital
Accountability and Transparency Act and the Freedom of Information
Act, in validating the growing need for open data. This law
demonstrates a commitment to data-informed policymaking, improving
statistical analysis across all levels of government, and the value
of making standardized data available to the public.
Beyond requiring open data, this law will reduce transaction
costs for businesses, engage communities by increasing access to
information, and lead to a standardized system of evidence-based
policymaking.
Socrata, Tyler’s flagship data and insights solution, provides
easy-to-deploy and FedRAMP-accredited cloud technology to unlock
siloed government data. The proven and rigorous success methodology
of Tyler’s Data & Insights Division, combined with its
experienced domain experts in Washington, D.C., will help federal
agencies evolve quickly from compliance with the law to making data
a central component of every government program. This approach
creates a sustainable open architecture for data sharing and
analytics that puts data at the heart of every government
program.
Since 2009, Socrata has enabled government agencies to publish
and share data with the public in open formats with the Socrata
Open Data API. Successful Socrata Open Data clients include:
- U.S. Department of Transportation: uses
the Socrata platform to share state crash data, enable access to
data from intelligent transportation systems technologies, and
drive data-informed policy-making.
- Centers for Medicare and Medicaid
Services: uses Socrata data visualization tools to identify areas
of disparities between subgroups of Medicare beneficiaries in
health outcomes, utilization, and spending. These insights are used
by stakeholders to inform policy decisions, target populations or
geographic areas for interventions, and understand racial and
ethnic differences in health outcomes.
“This legislation represents a critical culture shift toward
governments using evidence-based decision-making to advance a
mission,” said Kevin Merritt, president of the Data & Insights
Division and a past advisor to the U.S. Department of Commerce Data
Advisory Council. “While several noteworthy agencies have taken
important steps to democratize data, the broad support provided by
this new law further will transform government information into
actionable data that informs strategic policymaking and improves
outcomes.”
