Case Study: Connecticut improves pandemic data access and school reopening decisions with Tyler Technologies Open Data Platform

Connecticut boosts data portal traffic 8-10x with Tyler Technologies

The state of Connecticut faced a massive public demand for timely, accessible COVID-19 data during the pandemic, finding that its initial static PDF reports were insufficient. To meet this challenge, officials turned to their existing Connecticut Open Data Portal, which is enabled by Tyler Technologies' Open Data Platform and Enterprise Data Platform.

Tyler Technologies provided a secure, cloud-based solution for data collection, analysis, and reporting. This allowed Connecticut to publish dynamic COVID-19 datasets and create visualizations, including key metrics to guide school reopenings. The results were significant: portal traffic increased eight to ten times, and the data directly steered reopening decisions for school districts serving over 500,000 students, facilitating crucial cross-agency collaboration.
