10th Anniversary Digital Cities Survey – 2011 Results

Top Digital Cities in U.S. Recognized by Center for Digital Government

Nov. 3, 2011 – e.Republic’s Center for Digital Government and Digital Communities Program today announced the top-ranked digital city governments in the 10^th anniversary Digital Cities Survey. The survey focused on results achieved by cities, via the use of technology, in operating efficiencies and realizing strategic objectives despite current fiscal constraints.

“Cities that are investing in technology are capturing cost savings that are critical to continuity of operations and their ability to meet higher demand for services,” said Todd Sander, director of Digital Communities. “The highest-ranking cities in the survey showed great strides in consolidating and enabling shared services, government transparency and communications interoperability. We applaud these innovators as they work in the spirit of collaboration to provide extraordinary value to constituents despite budget setbacks.”

The survey was open to all U.S. cities with a population of 30,000 or more.

The first-place winners in each of the four population classifications are:

City and County of Honolulu, Hawaii (250,000 or more population)
City of Olathe, Kan. (125,000 – 249,999 population)
City of Roseville, Calif. (75,000 – 124,999 population)
City of Eden Prairie, Minn. (30,000 – 74,999 population)

This year’s survey was underwritten by AT&T; CDW-G; Hyland Software, developers of OnBase; and Symantec.

Winners will be honored at a special awards ceremony concurrent with the National League of Cities annual conference in Phoenix, Arizona on November 11th.

Government-to-Government IT Services: What Works and What's Left to Work Out

This Digital Communities white paper highlights discussions with IT officials in four counties that have adopted shared services models. Our aim was to learn about the obstacles these governments have faced when it comes to shared services and what it takes to overcome those roadblocks. We also spoke with several members of the IT industry who have thought long and hard about these issues. The paper offers some best practices for shared government-to-government services, but also points out challenges that government and industry still must overcome before this model gains widespread adoption.
