“It is a risk to get caught up in the<br />
excitement of digital and forget our<br />
role as government leaders; we have<br />
really got to pay attention to our role.<br />
This is why privacy and transparency<br />
are so important. We are encouraged<br />
by some examples we have seen in<br />
other cities where open engagement<br />
on the adoption of technology and the<br />
collection of data has built trust with<br />
residents. By engaging with communities,<br />
it becomes easier to implement,<br />
adopt, or even experiment with these<br />
types of technologies,” states Slack.<br />
Adopting mobile and cloud technologies<br />
has allowed the City of Mississauga<br />
to champion being a paperless operation,<br />
starting with the City Leadership Team<br />
who have used secure cloud storage<br />
and mobile technology to enable<br />
paperless meetings and collaboration<br />
through video conferencing to attend<br />
meetings and share presentation materials.<br />
This has significantly reduced the<br />
use of paper and the need to drive to<br />
meetings; a small but important environmental<br />
statement. Cloud technologies<br />
and mobile access to applications have<br />
also created access to digital resources<br />
