HOLLYWOOD, MD--(Marketwire - September 30, 2009) - Smartronix is proud to announce its support
of the launch of Recovery.gov 2.0, a user friendly and technologically
advanced Web site committed to improving government transparency to the
American public.
As the prime contractor on Recovery.gov 2.0, Smartronix assembled a skilled
team of partners that rebuilt the site's information, network, and security
architectures in only ten weeks. Working closely with the Recovery
Accountability and Transparency Board, Smartronix will continue to refine
and improve the Web site over the next three years. Team Smartronix is
comprised of Synteractive, TMP Government, and KPMG, and the Web site
features technology from industry-leading vendors like Microsoft, Cisco,
F5, Business Objects, Amazon Web Services, and ESRI.
"Recovery.gov 2.0 was developed to support the interests of users ranging
from the casual citizen observer to government watchdogs, and as the site
is updated with even more features, these users will be pleased by the
wealth of Federal spending data that's literally at their fingertips, and
accessible in a myriad of ways," says Smartronix CTO Robert Groat.
Significant advancements include the addition of geospatial mapping and
analysis capabilities, which let users explore stimulus expenditures on a
state, county, congressional district, or zip code basis. "This new
capability gives the public a greater understanding of the expenditures in
their neighborhood. However, this required aggregating thousands of
Federal data points from multiple sources, and that was a major challenge,"
says Groat. "That it was achieved in only ten weeks is a huge
accomplishment and is indicative of how rapidly the Team can add new
functionality."
Recovery.gov 2.0 not only provides an easy to use and transparent way for
people to track federal stimulus dollars, but it also takes full advantage
of next-generation web, cloud and social media technologies.
