Program Goals◦ Business process analysis, improvement and change management for air

quality regulatory programs

◦ Implementation of a flexible software and data infrastructure to support online software systems for air quality programs

◦ Implementation of a public website that serves as the access point for online engagement

Current Program Activities◦ Redesign and re-organization of content for the public website

◦ Extension of a custom web-based permitting and compliance system for public access

◦ Expansion of a data warehouse to serve air quality monitoring, permitting and compliance data to the public

◦ Implementation of geospatial tools (e.g. maps) to provide the public enhanced visualization of air quality data

◦ Employment of cloud computing services to host the new website and line-of-business applications
