Adam Carpenter, chief data officer, Montana

“The most impactful data project we are working on is centralization in the cloud and reducing barriers to sharing between agencies. We are using a grant to load the state’s economic and infrastructure data into a warehouse that will feed a planning and development tool for use by the public, the state or private industry to assist in economic development in the state. We are also pushing hard to improve our egov capability so that we can improve the citizen experience when they interact with the state.”
