"The Opendatasoft team is particularly responsive! I’m not a technical data person but whenever I drop them a line I get a response very quickly. I’ve had a lot of similar feedback from people within the council. With Opendatasoft, you do not only get a quality product, but you also get a quality after sale service. That’s key for me. That’s the robustness, the power behind the product."

"Paris is taking an approach to data that puts data usage at the heart of city administration. This initiative demonstrates the value that the Paris administration sees in its data and the potential it offers to transform government and the city as a whole. There are three key aspects to this initiative: a technical component carried out by Opendatasoft, a project component, and a data organization component with a plan to establish a data culture within the organization."

"Open data makes it easier for anyone to find and share information. That’s the most exciting part about this portal for us: that so much value becomes accessible to everyone. The staff of our libraries know a lot about that, and working with them made this all the better."

"It’s better to prioritize data quality and regular updates of information than to focus on volumes. Having said that, I also think that we shouldn’t let aiming for perfection stop us from being open, so we need to find a happy medium between the always elusive perfection and a minimum level of quality to ensure that a dataset is of value."
