Your information about community services is valuable. Shared with others, it is exponentially more so. Indeed, now we expect data will flow frictionlessly between an ever-expanding network of agencies and organizations. This workshop will be an intensive primer on all methods of data exchange, key standards to understand, how to talk to partners about their data exchange needs, and how not to be taken for a ride.

Objectives:

  • Understand when imports, exports, APIs, and other forms of connectivity are appropriate to different use cases and expectations.
  • Be able to describe 5 key data standards and how they are used, and why each can be good or bad for your organization.
  • Learn the 7 key questions to ask as you begin a data exchange discussion so you can scope, price, and deliver results--instead of living with never ending headaches.
  • Learn about the costs that go into data exchange, and how to price the value of your information, as part of expanding exchanges of which you are a part.
  • Take away a number of documents and a slide deck to use this to inform their own work, and to share with colleagues not at the conference.
