Frank Kohstall, service owner – OAKS Enterprise Business Intelligence, Ohio

“I’ve had the pleasure to serve the State of Ohio for nearly 10 years and work on some tremendously impactful projects. The OhioCheckbook initiative started by the Treasurer of State in 2014 is still carried on today by the Office of Budget and Management. Ohioans have an unrivaled availability to state and local government financial data. Ohio is also a leader in early adoption and continued use of cross-state data-sharing platforms such as the US Census’ PSEO and the Coleridge Initiative’s Administrative Data Research Facility. Data-sharing between agencies — and to the public — is at an all-time high thanks to Data.Ohio.Gov.”
