Quote of the Day #ESRIUC - "We built those silos good and we built them strong"
Bill Oates, the CIO for the City of Boston speaking at ESRI's Senior Executive Seminar has an IT budget of $19 million in operations fund and $13 million capital funds. In speaking about moving from "silos" to enterprise GIS he said, "We're a good New England city. We built those silos big and we built them strong."
The crowd erupted in laughter.
He finished his thought by saying, "We can’t support silos any more and we better get our act together."
