The GMIS Data Dive™ is now open for 2018 Data Entry with a new set of dashboards to streamline entry and reporting. Two Webinars were scheduled to review the GMIS Data Dive™ and the changes which have been implemented with the new platform.
GMIS Data Dive™ Webinar – Part 2 will focus on the changes implemented with the revised platform. If you have been using the GMIS Data Dive™ and need information on the changes, you will want to register for this webinar.
DASHBOARDS NOW AVAILABLE
The dashboards now available include the following:
- Profile – Complete this section first! Answers to these questions define your agency and are critical to filtering results.
- Compensation and Benefits – NEW! – Includes a variety of metrics related to position salary, insurance, retirement and other benefits. Salary information should be entered for the prior budget year, NOT the current budget year. This is the only section for which prior budget year data is requested.
- Core Business Functions & Office Productivity
- Data Center and Hardware
- Governance and Legal
- Telecommunications/Network
- Citizen Engagement and Utility
A new feature of the platform is that completion percentages are calculated by individual dashboards. Once the 70% threshold is reached for a dashboard it will be eligible to pull results for that dashboard once overall results are released later this fall.

But in the future, according to CEO Brian Utley, the company will be looking to apply its new capabilities in artificial intelligence to other areas of work — for example, helping government procurement officials find opportunities to buy something through cooperative purchasing.
