The City of Houston finds smarter decisions in the data

The City of Houston will equip its teachers and first responders with cloud and IoT technologies to help them respond faster to dangerous school situations. Municipal leaders there are working with Microsoft to provide school officials with mobile tools, connected lighting, and ambient, environmental sensors, allowing them to alert students, staff and the city network if they learn of potential threats to people or campuses. That plan is part of a broader “smart city” agenda created by Houston’s leaders to improve the effectiveness of city employees, streamline transportation and better connect citizens to local services, particularly during and after emergencies.
