In today’s data-driven public sector, connecting artificial intelligence to existing systems is rarely straightforward. State and local government agencies face a unique mix of legacy platforms, siloed data, compliance mandates and security requirements — all of which can turn integration projects into long, tangled journeys.

This Government Technology webinar, sponsored by Hyland Software, will explore the real-world challenges IT leaders encounter when linking diverse data sources, legacy applications and modern AI tools.

In this interactive session you’ll gain practical insights to:

  • Break down data silos and enable systems to communicate seamlessly
  • Navigate compatibility challenges across old and new environments
  • Anticipate hidden complexities that can derail timelines and budgets
  • Manage security and compliance risks without slowing innovation

Drawing on proven strategies and success stories from the public sector, we’ll help you tame the chaos and make AI work with — not against — your systems.

Whether your goal is to modernize public safety tools, improve citizen services or use predictive analytics for smarter decisions, you’ll leave with a clear roadmap for integration success. Don’t let complexity stall your innovation. Join us to learn how to master the connections that matter most
