The Challenge
Socrata customers struggled with accessing and using data from siloed systems, hindering their ability to make data-driven decisions. For example, the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) had limited access to their business intelligence software, making it difficult to use data for daily work and secure funding for projects.
The Customer
Socrata
About The Customer
The customer, UDOT, is the Utah Department of Transportation. They needed a solution to consolidate data from multiple systems and provide access to more employees for better data-driven decision-making and securing funding for projects.
The Solution
Socrata migrated its platform from Microsoft Azure to Amazon Web Services (AWS) to improve scalability and focus on developing new solutions. They also worked with Grant Thornton to consolidate data from UDOT's business systems into Socrata's cloud-based platform. This allowed any UDOT employee to access budget and spending information, project funding and statuses, and asset management reporting.

Turning A Stadium Into A Smart Building
Honeywell created what it called the “intelligent system” for the National Stadium in Beijing, China, turning the venue for the opening and closing events at the 2008 Summer Olympics into a “smart building.” Designed by highly controversial artist Ai Weiwei, the “Bird’s Nest” remains one of the most impressive feats of stadium architecture in the world. The 250,000 square meter structure housed more than 100,000 athletes and spectators at a time. To accommodate such capacity, China turned to Honeywell’s EBI Integrated Building Management System to create an integrated “intelligent system” for improved building security, safety and energy efficiency.
