Too often, agencies consider open data projects complete when assets are online. But, what happens when people can’t interact with your data, or never even find it?
Open data has the potential to create economic opportunity, help citizens make decisions, and improve program outcomes.
GovDelivery offers a complete open source data solution with a full suite of cataloging, publishing and visualization features. GovDelivery’s powerful Network and Communications Cloud drive traffic, usage and greater understanding of your data to help connect more people with your most valuable resources.
Migrate, Publish and Manage
Allow public sector teams, developers, businesses and citizens to easily access data typically stored within private databases. Data can be harvested from a range of sources and formats with ease, creating a simpler way to access and share your data.
Remove Barriers to Access
Publish data in multiple formats, ensuring your community has access where and when they need it. Citizens can receive data in multiple formats via real-time APIs, or browse datasets directly from their smartphones.
Tag and Search
Data is only useful if people know where to find it. Using advanced search and tagging options, your data becomes easy to find and use. Refine search results based on keywords, data type, location, author, and other categorization criteria.
Visualize and Share
Data is meaningless if your audience does not use it. Create tabular, chart, and map previews, or build widgets to share and embed visualizations in other web pages to help your audience understand what data means to them.
Build with Flexibility
GovDelivery’s Open Data offerings are built with DKAN open source technology, allowing organizations to customize nearly every aspect of design, administration, workflow and development.
Creating Communities Around Data
It takes more than publishing datasets to realize the real impact of your open data.

Effectively promoting your open data portal will improve your delivery of services and build a robust open data community that will engage with the data to improve core outcomes in everyday life for citizens.
GovDelivery’s powerful Communication Cloud and Network solutions allow agencies to instantly reach massive audiences with customized data experiences. By cross promoting, sharing, and targeting residents who are already civically engaged with proactive or action-based messaging, agencies can keep stakeholders continuously connected with evolving open data programs to build communities around data.
GovDelivery’s Open Data Solution was identified by U.S. Project Open Data as a “ready-to-use” and “developed to significantly reduce the barrier to implementing open data at your agency.”
Open Data Services
GovDelivery’s team of open data experts support open data program launches, provide ongoing maintenance of data portals, and help organizations customize and extend open data solutions to create interactive data experiences.
From design, migration and management of data, to creating an inclusive outreach strategy targeted toward key audiences, our team has paved the way for agencies like the USDA, HHS and the State of Georgia to gather and organize complex and disparate data sources to create visually engaging data stories tailored for any user.
