Harrop questions killing ProvStat.

Harrop says building permits and business licenses will be posted online.
Elorza wants all new vendors to be committed to automatically publish data to the City's Open Data Portal.
Elorza will develop key performance indicators within 30 days for all departments. He will measure our performance, commit to improvements over time, and transparently communicate our successes and challenges along the way.
Elorza will adopt the City’s first Open Data Policy within my first several months in office.
Elorza: It’s unacceptable that renewing an entertainment license or ordering a birth certificate requires a city resident to visit City Hall in person with a check or money order.
Cianci is committed to bringing Providence up to a level where we are on par with other cities in terms of investments in information technology.
Cianci will invest in technology to keep better records across departments.
Cianci: My administration will be heavily focused on eliminating waste in city departments, and information technology is a smart way to pinpoint waste.
Cianci: I will invest in training and development
Cianci: technology will allow us to identify waste and streamline processes that will lead to additional revenue
Cianci: I will bring in experts who can coordinate tracking of performance indicators across departments and and their respective staffs. Accountability is key, the residents of Providence are basically investors in our great city, and they deserve to be able to see how city departments are holding up when it comes to performance.
