Harnessing data.world: How Allegheny County Serves 1.2M Residents

When your organization is over 200 years old, your data is naturally fragmented, complex, and often unwieldy. Pennsylvania’s Allegheny County refuses to let legacy data and disparate systems across 20 departments render its data unusable. The home to Pittsburgh, over 120 municipalities, and 1.2 million people, Allegheny County is on a mission to bring its data together and share information with its employees, municipal partners, and residents.

Join Geoffrey Arnold, Allegheny County’s Manager of Enterprise Data and Analytics, as he details how his team of five has brought together 80% of its departments with cataloged data on data.world, how they encourage better hands-on data stewardship, and why this matters for the citizens of the county.
