State Transportation Department Saves Lives with Better Business Insight

"Information workers need business knowledge and facts to inform their strategy development and decision making. We wanted to tap into the value in our human assets and really use their on-the-ground knowledge." - John Simpson, Chief Technology Officer, Mississippi Department of Transportation
SUMMARY

As part of its mission to enhance the safety and efficiency of Mississippi's highways, the Mississippi Department of Transportation (MDOT) collects vast amounts of data about accident trends and roadwork projects. Because this data is spread across multiple sources, MDOT needed a solution that would empower its employees to find and share information more easily so they can identify trends, develop strategies, connect with colleagues, and reduce decision cycles. MDOT uses Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint to help people find information across disparate sources, and it uses Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 to analyze traffic accidents and evaluate the agency's safety initiatives. Now, MDOT can make more effective use of its employees' knowledge and experience to develop policy and funding priorities that will enhance transportation safety in Mississippi.
