Open Source

An open source city takes shape: Open, online tools and data.  The grand vision for the open data portal has two components, ESRI and a to-be determined solution similar to Socrata.

From its onset, open source technology has been at the forefront of massive data management. Today, open source provides the most effective way to address such a large-scale problem and get the job done faster and more accurately at a fraction of the price of alternative solutions.
