Atlanta is the capital and most populous city in the U.S. state of Georgia. It is the cultural and economic center of the Atlanta metropolitan area and the ninth-largest metropolitan area in the United States.
Atmosera partnered with Microsoft Field Sales to migrate the City of Atlanta’s platforms to Azure. This involved demonstrating various cloud services and capabilities, including POC components for Azure PaaS, Cosmos DB, Xamarin, and the Bot Framework. The resulting chatbot, using QnA Maker and Azure Bot Service, provided interactive responses to common inquiries about the city and its services. This success led to the development of the first set of Azure-based applications for the City’s “SmartATL” initiative.
SmartATL is an ongoing initiative aimed at improving the livability of Atlanta and fostering economic growth by using IoT and Big Data analytics. In collaboration with Microsoft, the City of Atlanta showcased a public-facing data visualization application called MapATL. This application includes a user interface, supporting APIs, and a CosmosDB database, allowing users to query and view openly available city data on an interactive map and receive personalized notifications.
