The City of College Park, MD uses its eIMPACT dashboard to answer "all the questions" about the city, whether its visitors to the economic development website or engaging one-on-one with businesses. Prior to using eIMPACT, the City struggled to tell its story with data due to "endless numbers" didn't contain a concise narrative.
We've been able to use our eIMPACT data and know that when we ask a question about numbers, we can now go back and visualize it on our city website. We're able to show that kind of stuff to the business owners and prospects, they seem to be very intrigued, and it's a quick study. It's all right there for them.
