The City of Miami, even when limited by a tight budget, looks for ways to improve the services it offers citizens. The city wanted to develop an online application to record, track and report on nonemergency incidents, but the customer's traditional heavy GIS technology would require significant computing resources. Further constrained by long hardware-procurement cycles, the city needed a cost-effective, scalable solution that would maximize its available resources. The city developed its 311 application with cloud services from Microsoft including the Windows Azure Platform and Bing Maps Platform, taking advantage of scalable storage, processing power and hosting provided by Microsoft. As a result, the city was able to reduce IT costs, improve the services it offers citizens and deliver those services faster than before. Come hear about the city's solution, their future in the cloud and ask them questions during this free, 60 minute webcast.

Chris, a bit off topic, but are there any timelines about for which countries (new) road data is rolled out. For example in SE Asia still almost all countries are without any (detailed) road data. However on the Navteq site (www.navteq.com) the data is available. Rollin' out road data for at least the (major) cities will enable (hotel) booking sites to also use bing, since now there's not enough info for customers to reach their destination..
Yes. :) Unfortunately, I can't discuss this publicly.
