Program gives hands-on training for government
employees to better use and analyze data
Tyler Technologies, Inc. (NYSE: TYL) announced today that its
Socrata Data Academy, a nationwide initiative to enable government
leaders and information workers with the skills and tactics to put
data to use to impact their governments, has expanded with
additional training offerings.
Socrata Data Academy provides government leaders and employees
with the strategies, tools, and skills they need to make public
institutions more effective. This service offers courses that are
designed for seasoned analysts looking to develop skills in machine
learning, as well as programs for newcomers to data analysis. The
training teaches government knowledge workers how to glean
important insights from data to effect change in their
communities.
“We have faith in the power of government employees to transform
their institutions from the inside out,” said Oliver Wise, Data
Academy director at Tyler. “We believe that with just a little bit
of training, government employees doing the day-to-day work are in
the best position to make our public institutions more responsive
to residents’ rising expectations.”
In coordination with Washington, D.C.-based data science
training company, Data Society, Socrata Data Academy attendees can
participate in live workshops and online training. These courses
are designed to empower the government workforce to harness data to
drive better outcomes, identify innovative solutions, and create an
entrepreneurial culture.
“Expanding the Socrata Data Academy is one of the ways Tyler is
helping to empower our clients to be more strategic and responsive
to citizens’ needs, and we are excited to see how jurisdictions of
all sizes will thrive from this kind of hands-on and virtual
training,” said Kevin Merritt, president of Tyler’s Data &
Insights Division.
In addition to the on-site Data Academy workshops — which train
staff, program leads, and executives in developing and accelerating
data programs — Data Academy will also offer three of Data
Society’s on-site courses: Supercharging Government Intelligence
with Excel; Introduction to R Programming for Government Analytics;
and Data Science and Machine Learning for Government Decision
Making.
“This is the first data academy we’ve seen deployed for
government at such a large scale,” said Merav Yuravlivker, CEO of
Data Society. “It speaks to Tyler’s deep understanding of its
clients and reflects the increasing need for all employees to be
data literate.”
With Tyler’s acquisition of Socrata on April 30, 2018, Socrata
and Tyler form a perfect alliance, joining Socrata’s focus on
accelerating the shift to digital government with Tyler’s mission
to transform state and local government to create safer, smarter,
and more vibrant communities. The addition of Socrata’s solutions
to Tyler’s product family enables clients in every public sector
vertical to make their data discoverable, usable and actionable,
while potentially including data from other jurisdictions to make
analytics even more powerful and meaningful.
