What we do

1. Build Shared Data Infrastructure

We design and maintain pipelines, data models, and metadata that allow Memphis to see itself clearly. We connect city, county, and nonprofit datasets — from housing to health to education — into a trusted civic data warehouse that powers maps, dashboards, and reports.

→ Think of us as the digital backbone of Memphis’ data ecosystem.

2. Deliver Analytics that Drive Action

We don’t stop at dashboards. We uncover insights that change how leaders prioritize funding, respond to community needs, and evaluate impact.

From Pre-K capacity maps to The Memphis Property Hub, our analytics products make complex data usable and beautiful — blending technical precision with human-centered design.

→ We turn data into decisions.

3. Lead Data Governance and Quality Standards

We believe shared data only works when it’s trusted. That’s why we lead the Collaborative Data Stewardship Committee — a cross-sector partnership setting Memphis’ standards for data quality, privacy, and responsible use.

Our metadata templates, onboarding playbooks, and feedback loops make participation simple and transparent.

→ We build trust into every byte.

4. Build Data Capacity and Culture

We grow the civic data ecosystem through training, events, and partnerships:

• Civic Data Forum — connecting practitioners and policymakers.

• Hackathons — turning neighborhood challenges into technical innovation.

• Fellowships — mentoring the next generation of data leaders.

→ We don’t gatekeep knowledge; we share it.
