Analytics

The Problem

City Innovate was first hired by the State of California’s California Department of Technology (CDT) – the agency that oversees and supports departments purchasing complex technology. A key finding from our initial CDT work was that state agencies typically use desktop applications to create documents for procurement, contracts, grants, and budgets. As a result, because desktop applications weren’t designed for enterprise-class collaboration, this work was often a ‘black box’. It was impossible to see into the box and understand how many projects were in motion or where a specific project was on the path to completion.

Our Solution

Our approach to analytics and reporting is to provide CIOs, CPOs, Budget Directors, Administration Directors and agency leaders with the actionable analysis and reporting they need to identify bottlenecks and gain insight into where a particular procurement, contract, or grant is in the process.
