City Engages Public With Cutting-Edge Interactive Map for Large Annual Festival

The City of Chicago wanted an interactive, online map that its residents and visitors could easily use to plan a visit to the annual Taste of Chicago event. The city asked West Monroe Partners to cost-effectively develop a map, which it did in just two weeks by basing the map on the Windows Azure platform and Microsoft Silverlight browser plug-in technology. The map was a success, helping attendees make the most of their time at Taste of Chicago.
