Overview

Watch Now

Many public agencies are still relying on legacy, on-premise systems to manage critical infrastructure, but those systems weren’t built for today’s demands. Siloed data, outdated processes and security concerns can slow down everything from planning to maintenance. The result? Wasted resources and missed opportunities.

In this webinar, we discuss how cloud-based asset management is helping state and local governments modernize operations, improve data integrity and deliver better results across the full infrastructure life cycle. You’ll learn how connected systems can empower field teams, reduce costly errors and provide leadership with real-time insights without compromising on security.

We cover:

  • How cloud-based platforms create a single source of truth across departments and project phases
  • Why security fears around the cloud are often misplaced — and how dedicated response teams can help
  • Ways to eliminate redundancy, rework and budget overruns with smarter data synchronization and communication
  • How agencies are reallocating IT resources for greater impact while reducing system maintenance burdens

Whether you're managing roads, utilities, or facilities, this session will help you rethink what's possible with the right asset management tools in place.
