Indiana

Indiana Introduced SGPs in 2009
• Second/third state to adopt
• Once the decision was made the deadline
became yesterday
• Display was built in-house
• Used existing tools and displays that Indiana
already had available
• Very serious flattery of Colorado
– I mean really really flattering!
Indiana’s Motivation
• Support is all in house
• Quick design and build means little flexibility
• Functional by not elegant design
• Any change must compete for scarce resources
• Many changes requested – few implemented
• No stats is an Island (not even Indiana!)
Why Collaborate
• Take advantage of the best display
– A display that is customizable
– Allows you to turn on and off features
– Provides amazing level of control and depth
• Take advantage of what others have learned
– Different uses and needs in other states produce
displays never thought of in Indiana but
immediately useful
• Able to evolve!
