Data is one of government's most valuable assets, but only if it’s accurate, accessible and secure from the start.

This webinar unpacks the full lifecycle of asset data, from design and construction to operation and replacement. You’ll learn how state and local governments are tackling longstanding issues like poor data quality, siloed systems and weak governance — and why getting this right is critical if you want to responsibly use AI and analytics to drive better decisions.

You’ll learn:

  • How to improve data quality at the source, from capital planning to construction
  • Why tagging critical data to specific assets leads to smarter operations and maintenance
  • What secure, AI-ready data platforms look like — and why they matter now more than ever

Nicholas Johnson

Chief Evangelist, Kahua

Nicholas Johnson comes to Kahua with over 40 years’ experience in the design and construction industry. Starting his career as an electrical designer and drafter, he was among the first to create a career around CAD/CAM technology. That path led to a role in IT with Heery International, an Atlanta based design and construction company. In that role he learned about construction project management software, and a little start up company called Constructware. He was with the Constructware guys for 6 years before they were acquired by Autodesk. Since that time Nicholas has held sales leadership positions at Autodesk, Trimble Connected Water, Beck Technology, and Trimble e-Builder. He twice took two year working sabbaticals to serve a greater cause. The first with Amigos for Christ, a non-profit serving the poorest of the poor in Nicaragua, and more recently, with the Society of St Vincent DePaul, serving the poor here in North Georgia. He is father of three and grandfather to one. He is an ordained minister, an accomplished speaker and mentor, and a big UGA sports fan. He enjoys hiking and hunting and fishing, and that is why he plays golf.
