Database Management White Papers

Metropolitan Government of Nashville and Davidson County Accelerates Operations, Expands Service to Its 600,000 Citizens

Tags:
database management

Overview Metro Nashville has a $1.6 billion annual budget, employs more than 20,000 people, and administers an additional 7,000 pensions. To streamline services, Nashville and Davidson consolidated their separate governments into one entity in 1963. Technology is the centerpiece of Metro Nashville's continued strategy to increase operational efficiencies. When a comprehensive IT project stalled 16 months into the project, with no solution in sight, city officials turned to Oracle On Demand to solve their technical challenges. This put the company into a position to complete the project, deploy new applications, control costs, and add flexibility to their operations.
