Tyler Technologies, Inc. announced that Socrata Open Expenditures has launched in Nassau County, New York. The new finance app supports Nassau County’s plan to improve trust in government with transparency, public engagement, and data. The county is developing a robust financial reporting, internal data sharing, and open data program to revolutionize the way it uses data as a strategic asset. The county’s more than 7,000 employees and 1.4 million residents can now access transaction details of the county’s expenditures, including checkbook-level details; payments to vendors across departments, funds, and expense categories; and spending based on categories over time. Over the past year, the county has made strides in developing a data strategy to improve resource allocation, operational efficiencies, and economic development. It hosted a Socrata Data Academy in December to train staff in data analysis to deliver better services to residents, and the county is in the process of implementing Socrata Connected Government Cloud (SCGC), an advanced internal data-sharing platform. SCGC will serve as a self-service, centralized data repository for Nassau County employees. The extensible, cloud-based, data sharing platform, which was built specifically for governments, streamlines data governance and access across organizations. Schnirman is a long-time supporter of implementing technological solutions to enhance government operations. As the city manager in Long Beach, NY, he implemented a 311-style smartphone application for residents. Along with Open Expenditures and SCGC, the county plans to launch another public-facing portal, Open Payroll. These cloud-based applications will track performance across the county and serve as a library for public datasets. Nassau County is the sixth largest county in New York. Tyler also provides its iasWorld® appraisal and tax software, CLT Appraisal Services™ mass appraisal services, and Brazos™ e-citation solution to the county.
