The recent launch of Texas Tribune’s Data Library is a great example of how media and government clients are utilizing Caspio Bridge to publish databases and share engaging web applications that increase website traffic and community interaction.
Texas Tribune is a non-profit news organization located in Austin, Texas, devoted to state government and public policy. They aim to promote civic engagement through original, explanatory journalism and public events.
Texas Tribune also plans to utilize Caspio’s advanced deployment capabilities to give visitors the option of easily downloading data or embedding the apps on their own websites.

The Georgia Criminal Justice Coordinating Council (CJCC) was tasked to build and deploy an online application that would allow state agencies to apply for grant funds. Based on time and budget constraints, Daniel Kurlowich, Systems Analyst at the CJCC, knew that building the application from scratch wasn’t an option, so he searched for a cloud solution that could securely capture and manage the grant application’s 200 data input fields.
After a short online demo, Kurlowich felt confident that Caspio’s platform would fit the bill. In fact, it took him only one day to design, integrate and launch the application system on CJCC’s website. The project was completed early and under-budget, with the first online registration coming in within 30 minutes of launch. Caspio’s step-by-step wizards also made it easy for the agency make real-time edits to the application once it was live. Read the full case study.
Caspio‘s cloud platform was the only workable solution that provided the level of speed, ease and security that Kurlowich was looking for. He summarizes, “I’ve worked in data all my life and I knew that Caspio could do the job. And it did.”
The U.S. Postal Service is onboard with Obama’s cloud computing initiative, recently signing an enterprise agreement with Caspio. USPS manages 34,000 retail locations and delivers to every address in the nation – but unlike other government agencies, it doesn’t rely on tax dollars to pay for operating expenses.
Now it’s Caspio’s turn to deliver. Our platform will undoubtedly help USPS reduce costs, while improving information processing time.
The Obama administration recently presented its plans to utilize cloud computing to reduce federal IT costs, accelerate innovation, and democratize data. The shift to hosted information management will allow the U.S. government to free up some of the $76 billion it currently spends on IT, $19 billion of which is taxpayer dollars. The technology innovation and cloud computing effort will be led by America’s newly appointed Federal CIO, Vivek Kundra.
By shifting to the cloud, the government also hopes to become a greener organization. Currently, they own hundreds of datacenters and server farms across the nation. In addition to being a large investment and requiring 24/7 IT oversight, the datacenters leave a significant carbon footprint, as they need tremendous amounts of energy to power and cool the servers they house. The datacenters often perform similar tasks and are used at a fraction of their capability. Migrating to the cloud will help reduce duplicated efforts and utilize computing power more efficiently.
We are excited to see a positive shift towards cloud computing at the federal level. Caspio already serves many municipal, county, state, and federal government agencies, and our platform lends itself well to the strict security and service-level requirements in this sector. The infrastructure employs multiple layers of platform security and reliability, including top-of-the-line firewalls, data encryption, and hosting at a leading SAS-70 certified datacenter.
Caspio invites government agencies to request a demo today.
