Case Study: State of Michigan achieves easier public access to government data with Evolve Blue

State of Michigan launches a unified data portal with Evolve Blue

The State of Michigan faced a challenge with its government data being fragmented across multiple agencies and in various formats, making it difficult for the public and state employees to discover and use. They engaged Evolve Blue to create a unified open data portal to solve this problem.

Evolve Blue designed and built the Michigan Open Data Portal, a web application featuring a powerful search function with live suggestions, filtering by agency and format, and an interactive GIS mapping section. The solution integrated the state's MiLogin system for secure employee access while allowing public users to browse without an account. Evolve Blue delivered a centralized portal that made Michigan's government data easy to find, explore, and download for everyone.
