Overview

October 11

Well-maintained public infrastructure – our roads, bridges, buildings and other assets -- is the foundation of our communities. But our infrastructure is in a dismal state – the American Society of Civil Engineers recently gave it a D+ or “poor” rating.

The challenge is clear: Governments must effectively manage a diverse and growing array of assets with fewer resources.

Join us on October 11th at 11:00 AM Pacific/2:00 PM Eastern for an interactive hour-long webinar to learn how technology can revolutionize life cycle management processes for fixed assets and support the creation of intelligent, IoT-connected infrastructure. On the webinar we will also cover:

The drivers for modernizing infrastructure asset management
How the latest technology solutions help governments maximize the life cycle of their assets, including examples from cities that have implemented them
How infrastructure management modernization can be the gateway to smarter and more connected communities
