GMIS International has formed a strategic partnership with The Atlas, an online community used by 3,000 government officials and staff each month to browse city case studies, follow trending local government optics and post questions to colleagues.   

GMIS International and The Atlas are both working towards building smarter, more efficient and more resilient cities by empowering local government leaders to share best practices and deliver best-in-class government IT solutions. Coming together strengthens their individual capabilities and furthers their respective missions.

For GMIS International, this brings the opportunity to learn from others and to build on the successes of those organizations. This expands the access of GMIS Government Agency Members beyond the existing GMIS Knowledge Base to the vast knowledge of similar organizations from around the globe who are facing the same challenges and opportunities.
