Wayne County, Michigan, is the 13th largest county and also one of the hardest-hit counties in the nation. Traditionally reliant on the automotive industry, the county found itself with the highest unemployment rate and second-highest foreclosure rate in the country. Property tax revenues needed to support vital residential services dropped sharply in the span of 18 months. With a population of nearly 2 million, more was at stake than just the county’s budget woes. The Detroit metropolitan area community itself was at risk.
Rather than admit defeat and throw in the towel, county CIO Tahir Kazmi turned to e-government to both close the funding gap and continue to deliver essential services. By leveraging a creative integration of off-the-shelf Electronic Content Management (ECM), workflow, and data management applications, Wayne County was able to quickly assemble a program to address the crisis. The results are extraordinary.
