Columbus & Franklin County, Ohio

Smart Columbus seeks qualified software, data, and systems integration vendors to design, develop and implement an integrated technology and data ecosystem—the CIE Technology Platform—that helps community based organizations (CBOs) coordinate human services more effectively.
The CIE Initiative aims to transform how organizations coordinate human services, aided by the adoption of a technology platform.
