As our technological landscape grows in complexity and sophistication, so does our data. It quickly piles up, leaving state and local governments unsure of where all their data is, what it contains and who has access to it. Not only is this an organization nightmare, but it also creates unnecessary privacy risks. With the right solutions, agencies can gain a full view of all the data and where it resides, making it easy to access this informat...

It’s typical for defenders to learn about the latest adversary tactics, techniques, and procedures (TTPs) from a defense perspective – meaning TTPs are viewed from the lens of “how to mitigate this or prevent it from happening again.” Unfortunately, adversaries are smart problem solvers and can quickly adapt to changes made in enterprise security defenses, and even countermeasures. What is it like to view TTPs through t...

Less than half of respondents to a Center for Digital Government (CDG) survey targeting mid-sized cities and counties rate their organization’s use of data in decision-making as "effective" or "very effective." This is despite the fact that increasing the use of data in decision-making was their top listed priority. Local governments know that data is a critical part of better serving constituents, making intelligent decisions around whe...

Let’s face it, your residents expect online options to pay for nearly any type of service or fee today. But meeting this demand often isn’t easy in government. Fragmented systems operated by multiple departments, unique regulations and compliance requirements, clunky reconciliation processes — they all make it harder to provide the seamless convenience people want. Find out how jurisdictions are solving this challenge by adop...

State and local governments deliver hundreds or thousands of services to constituents. But they all have a common goal: to provide the best possible service to their communities, delivered efficiently and cost-effectively. Governments can’t achieve this goal with multiple point-based solutions. No matter how good they may be, an array of disconnected solutions – for case management, quality management, contact centers, digital serv...

Every leader knows driving successful change requires building a plan, aligning your team, securing the resources, managing the execution and communicating impact. The challenge is that they do this while juggling daily operations and resourcing challenges, competing priorities and disparate data sources. Without the right performance management processes and tools, government leaders are struggling to manage their agencies strategically. The...

State and local agencies are increasingly utilizing the cloud for business continuity, improved remote access and cost savings. But recent survey findings indicate public entities run into a number of challenges when adopting cloud solutions, with cost predictability and lack of skills for moving to the cloud being two of the biggest hurdles. A cloud marketplace can help state and local governments with these challenges while offering several...

Removing legacy database dependencies is a common goal, but technical complexity and contractual terms can make it difficult to get there. Thankfully, cloud migration and application modernization provide unique opportunities to reach success. As Utah's Department of Transportation (UDOT) embarks on this journey, they want to share details into their success story. In Part 1 of our webinar series, we discussed why UDOT decided to move to Googl...

The US military establishment is playing catchup inside the EW sector, with large defense contractors and military test centers scrambling to test and field the best sensor systems to fight against near-peer competitors. While US defense companies develop products against a hypothetical contested spectrum (Baltics, South China Sea), companies in Europe deploy solutions that must work immediately in contested civil/military spectrums, everyday....

State and local governments lose billions of dollars a year through fraudulent claims and abuse of government services and benefits. Efforts to fight fraud often focus on combatting external threats, ignoring the very real threat of internal fraud. While this has always been a challenge for state and local governments, significant amounts of new federal funding through the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA) and other pandemic relief...
