Government Technology magazine, which annually honors chief technology officers who have demonstrated visionary leadership in the public sector, included Bellevue IT director Toni Cramer on its list this year.

The magazine credits Cramer, who has led the Information Technology Department for the past 10 years, for the introduction of the innovative eCityGov Alliance.

The Alliance allows computer users to find parks and commercial property in dozens of area cities by just visiting one, searchable website. People can also go to one place to obtain permits from multiple cities.

The service relies on “cloud computing,” with the cities in the alliance paying Bellevue to make their data available on its servers.
