WE WANT INFORMATION

A revolution in technology has remarkably changed the way people access information and communicate

The Old = Books or 100’s of pages of pdfs

Public financial information is currently presented in books or pdf’s making them difficult for citizens to understand. Technology has changed to graphical presentations with search capability and one-click drill-down, making information easy to navigate, visualize and understand.

The New = Graphical presentations with one-click drill-down

THE NTA IS HELPING PUBLIC ENTITIES ADOPT BETTER INFORMATION PRESENTATION SOLUTIONS

Advances in technology, such as graphical user interfaces used in smart phones and computers, have created the expectation, especially from millennials, that information be available online in an easily navigable and visual way.

Millennials are now the largest, most diverse generation in the U.S. population. By 2020 millennials will represent one half the total workforce. What’s more, Millennials currently represent the largest voting group and will continue to be a sizable part of the population for many years.

Millennials are more connected to technology than previous generations and a quarter of Millennials believe that their relationship to technology is what makes their generation unique – they are digital natives! While all generations have experienced technological advances, the sheer amount of computational power and easy access to information that Millennials have had at their fingertips since grade-school is unparalleled.

Millennials tool of choice is the smart phone – an icon driven device with one click drill-down connecting them instantly to an inconceivable array of applications and information. Their expectation and demand is that any source of information must be easily navigable, be visual and above all have one click drill-down capabilities to reveal more details.

The NTA will help you present your budget and other financial information in a graphical and acceptable way for citizens to easily navigate, visualize and understand.
