How are they innovative?
There’s a couple of reasons the City of San Francisco drew our attention as a part of this webinar series and it had nothing to do with their World Series run. First, their acting CIO appeared in Governing Magazine to talk about the cloud, how “it’s a philosophy not a product,” and how the city has adopted it. In fact, they are transitioning 30,000 users to the Microsoft 365 public cloud as a part of this effort.
We also heard about the San Francisco’s efforts to provide free public wifi to it’s citizens! Yes you heard that right, free. Thanks to a partnership with Google the city can offer free wifi in multiple parks, plazas, and recreation centers throughout the city. They even took care to distribute the access throughout the city and in areas that would help close the digital divide.
