CITY OF MESA
“ WE LIKE TO BE THE FIRST AND THEN SHARE OUR SUCCESSES WITH OTHERS”
Scott Conn CIO City of Mesa directly improve the daily lives, accessibility and financial well-being of its citizens.
“ Everybody likes to call themselves a smart city these days,” Scott says.
“ To us, a smart city is not only innovative but one that implements and does the things that others only dream.
“ From a smart city perspective, you have to keep getting smarter every year. They should ask themselves:‘ What did we do differently to make ourselves smarter?’,‘ Are they getting any value from that technology?’ and‘ Are we doing things faster, less expensively, more efficiently and with greater transparency?’.”
