Stae helps cities take advantage of their data

▤ Summary

First, cities already have many sets of data coming from utilities, public transport, ambulances, residence complaints, traffic cameras and more. “There’s a challenge trying to understand the relationship between those different sets of data,” Jersey City’s Chief Innovation Officer Brian Platt told me. But in government, there’s not always the capacity or frankly the capability to do this.” Jersey City is trying to turn Stae into the single repository of data. “If we want to intersect bike sharing and weather and crime, we would have to manually analyze everything.” In many ways, it all comes down to constrained budgets and resources. Jersey City doesn’t have a full-time data scientist, so the local government is relying on platforms like Stae to do the heavy lifting.
