Why Civin is a game-changer for local governments

Civin’s design reflects the hard lessons learned by local governments over the past decade. Pioneering cities like Boston, San Diego, New York, and Chicago showed others what local government data could do, but to get there, they had to invest millions of dollars building their own data infrastructure and tools. That's just not possible for most communities, so the benefits of data-driven government are out of reach for most Americans.
Purpose-built for local government
We’re here to change that. The key insight that drives Civin: most communities’ data needs are similar, so nobody should have to start from scratch. The types of data that are most important are quite similar across communities, and likewise, most communities ask the same questions of their data and build the same kinds of tools to use it. So while a one-size-fits-all solution wouldn’t make sense, it’s also crazy for every community to go it alone.
Designed around communities' most common needs
With Civin, we’re taking the common data challenges that every community faces and creating a best-in-class toolkit that’s flexible and easy to build on. This will empower users to focus on what’s really unique in their own communities, and bring analytics within reach for those who haven’t even been able to get started.
