Join thought leaders from Orange County, CA and Los Angeles County for a forward-looking conversation on how secure content collaboration and AI+GIS data analysis are reshaping county operations and public service delivery.
This webinar explores high-level use cases, from laying the groundwork with secure, content storage and collaboration to examples of applying AI to that content, such as geospatial data analysis - from floodplain analytics and inspection-photo intelligence to streamline how government services are delivered.
Attendees will walk away with tips such as:
- Framing enterprise AI pilots that align to public-safety and infrastructure goals,
- Balancing external collaboration and data protection for sensitive records,
- How to utilize AI to communicate impact (e.g., year-over-year trend reporting)
This is a strategic session for CIOs, program leaders, and elected officials seeking to responsibly accelerate AI-enabled innovation across county services.

Modern Networks, Smarter Budgets: A County Leader's Perspective
Join us for a fireside chat with Orleans County, NY, as they share how their team successfully transitioned from a traditional capital expense (CapEx) model to an operational expense (OpEx) model for network services.
When faced with rising maintenance costs and an expiring carrier contract, the county seized the opportunity to modernize its network and lock in predictable monthly costs. By bundling connectivity services with unified communications, they achieved immediate savings of over $124,000, eliminated recurring charges such as long-distance fees and third-party integration costs, and gained access to operational upgrades like call analytics and auto-attendants.
This shift not only strengthened financial planning through fixed monthly expenses but also freed up IT staff to focus on strategic initiatives.
Key takeaway: Rethinking your budget model can be just as impactful as upgrading your technology — delivering fiscal stability and enhanced services for your community.
