City of Madison is prioritizing several transformational digital efforts this year, including:
- Aligning the City's technology goals with the IT Strategic Plan, which highlights Information Technology's core value of equity and inclusion.
- Hosting focus groups to improve the digital divide in Madison communities.
- Preparing for a potential Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system to process resident requests and concerns, which will provide valuable data and insights into community needs, helping the City identify gaps in service and areas for improvement.
- Providing the framework for hybrid and remote work options for City employees, including moving to enterprise cloud strategies, increasing digital literacy, and modernizing paper-based processes.
- Reducing costs to the City by replacing redundant hardware and software with enterprise solutions when appropriate.
- Continually evolving the City's legislative engagement practices with virtual and hybrid Board, Committee, and Commission meetings to remove barriers from public participation, like travel time, parking costs, childcare, and work scheduling. Constituents have registered their position on legislation over 8,000 times in the last year.
- Enhancing Report a Problem to improve residents' experience when reporting concerns to the City. The system assigns requests to the appropriate City service area to investigate, resolve, and respond to residents. In a future iteration, residents will be able to track updates on their reports in a single system.
