UPDATE - April 22, 2010:  A new version of MIDAS has been launched!  The most significant change in this release is the integration of the Data Query & Analysis Tool and the GIS Tool.  These two components are actually separate software programs but now appear as though they are one and the same.  To the end user it means that report results can be displayed numerically, graphically and/or on a map with much more ease and flexibility.  Additionally, with the implementation of Microsoft Virtual Earth, map views are greatly enhanced.

The Municipal Information & Data Analysis System (MIDAS) is a web-based tool that provides, free of charge, access to the Financial Information Return (FIR) and Municipal Performance Measure Program (MPMP) schedule data, for all Ontario municipalities.  Note: The MIDAS home page also provides access to the Energy Management Tool (EMT).

MIDAS Wins Two Awards!
MIDAS Wins the Award of Merit by the National Quality Institute’s Canadian Quality Criteria for Public Sector Excellence and MAH's Reach For Excellence Award.

MIDAS instantly converts FIR and MPMP data into meaningful reports, making benchmarking exercises convenient and fast. Report results can also be visually interpreted through a powerful Geographic Information System.

MIDAS is a program of the Association of Municipalities of Ontario, developed in conjunction with the Ontario Ministry of Municipal Affairs and Housing and with funding provided by the Ministry of Finance's Strengthening Our Partnerships program. Access to MIDAS' FIR and MPMP data is provided free of charge to all Ontario municipalities, creating opportunities to share information, compare data and implement best practices.
