Case Study: City of Boston delivers a cutting-edge open data portal with OpenGov

City of Boston launches a next-generation open data portal with OpenGov and 100+ datasets

The City of Boston faced a challenge with its outdated open data portal, which was difficult to navigate, not mobile-friendly, and featured stale data that failed to engage the public. To revamp its entire platform, the city partnered with vendor OpenGov to implement its next-generation CKAN-powered open data solution.

Using OpenGov's platform, Boston launched Analyze Boston, a user-friendly portal that provides near real-time data updates and improved functionality. The solution enabled sustainable partnerships, such as with public libraries, and made data more useful for both developers and the general public. The vendor's fast and flexible platform provided the scalability Boston needed to support growth without interruption.
