Overview

June 11

Watch Now

Cities and counties manage all sorts of assets, like:

· Locally owned roads, bridges and public transit systems
· Schools, hospitals and other critical government buildings
· Utilities including infrastructure for water, electricity and broadband internet
· Parks, greenspace and other public spaces that enhance residents’ quality of life


Better data keeps those assets safe. Comprehensive, up-to-date information is key to preventative maintenance, proactive upgrades and other strategies that ensure public assets are safe to use for years to come.

But that data comes from an array of sources – bridge sensors, aerial drones, routine field inspections, 311 calls and photos, transit employee reports, pothole apps, graffiti apps and on and on and on. Local governments can have a hard time getting a full picture of the condition of the assets they oversee.

Join us June 11 for an interactive webinar on how a connected data framework can transform they way your city or county manages its physical infrastructure. Our panel of experts will cover:

· How to adopt a true asset lifecycle management framework
· Why a vendor-agnostic asset management platform is so crucial for connecting your data
· How to turn your data into insights for public-facing dashboards, budgeting and other decision-making
