Featured Client: Networks Northwest
Michigan-based RDO uses eIMPACT to publish a truly impressive amount of data.
We have been working with Networks Northwest for nearly two years now, and it has been a growth and learning experience for us here at eIMPACT. As a regional development organization, Networks Northwest stewards three key pillars in northwest Michigan: talent, business and community.
As part of its work, Networks Northwest needs to publish data across all of these pillar categories, for ten counties – and keep it all current. This is a big workload, and used to require a full-time staff person. With eIMPACT Networks Northwest has been able to streamline significant parts of this, reducing their time investment.
We are proud to have Networks Northwest as a client and partner who pushes us to be better at what we do. When their new data site recently launched, we were happy they would allow us to share their good work, which we hope you find interesting!
