Balboa Park Online Collaborative’s mission is to: - Facilitate and execute a fundamental change in the way museums, cultural arts and science institutions in Balboa Park approach the use of online technology by making online technology an integral part of the way the institutions fulfill their missions, interact with patrons, and collaborate; - To improve their technology capabilities while reducing costs by bringing organizations with similar needs together on mutually beneficial projects; and - To allow smaller institutions the benefit of having technology systems of the same quality as larger organizations, who in turn benefit from streamlined expenditures.
