Pottawattamie County is located in southwestern Iowa, part of the metropolitan area for Omaha, Nebraska. The county's back-office computing department was inefficient, significantly under-equipped, and in need of a complete overhaul. They only had five dedicated Windows NT servers - filled with incompatible proprietary software, security vulnerabilities and prone to frequent system-wide crashes. Now, the department is using MySQL in all its new database projects. MySQL's ease of development allows them to create and deploy powerful Web-enabled database systems very quickly. Pottawattamie residents now have fast and secure access to this public information over the Internet through a Web site powered by MySQL.
