9.          ©2014  Applied  Geographics,  Inc.  Slide  9   Why?   •  Most  government  data  contains  a  loca;on   •  Most  popular  data  represent  things  that   ci;zens  ordinarily  look  for   •  Maps  make  more  sense  than  a  spreadsheet!

15.          ©2014  Applied  Geographics,  Inc.  Slide  15   This  Visual  Experience  Must  Be  Delivered   in  Modern  Ways   •  Ci;zen  expecta;ons  have   changed!   •  Internet  use  on  mobile   devices  surpassed  PC   devices  in  2014  at  55%   •  Must  be  “mobile  first”  and   “device  responsive”   •  Must  be  delivered  on  the   devices  people  are  using   every  day

17.          ©2014  Applied  Geographics,  Inc.  Slide  17   Transparency  itself  does  nothing  to   improve  communi;es.  There  must   be  the  next  step  of  engagement
