Overview

June 27

Digital transformation has become a north star for organizations looking to become more efficient and intelligent. It aims to shift organizations from siloed systems to streamlined enterprise solutions, promoting data democratization and automation. This evolution was expected to enhance efficiency, accessibility and support. But have we achieved these goals?

A key digital transformation success factor is a comprehensive data management system. Effective data governance is essential for modernization. Without a good data governance strategy, many other modernization initiatives don’t have the foundation they need to succeed.

Join Government Technology and Laserfiche on June 27 for a live webinar exploring how enterprise content management (ECM) solutions can improve data lifecycle management. You’ll hear from the North Carolina Department of Environmental Quality Chief Data Officer and an Idaho Department of Corrections Project Manager share their agency’s experience leveraging an ECM solution to accelerate organizational efficiency and make good on the promise of digital transformation.

Join the webinar to learn:

Real examples of digital transformation initiatives and their impacts on efficiency
Strategies for data accessibility and integration
Pros and cons of commercial vs. internally built solutions
