Government IT Insights: Winter Edition

Wednesday, January 19, 2022 | 12pm – 2:35pm ET | Online

Event Overview

Transforming Government through Technology Based Initiatives

By taking a citizen centric approach to information technology, public sector leaders can deliver services in a fast, more secure, and reliable manner. While many see the value proposition in investing in information technology there are barriers to adoption. These include security, compliance, budgetary realities, and existing roadmaps. Information technology is a critical pillar in the growth of economic development. It can also have an impact in policy implementation and thereafter realization of government’s goals and objectives. 

For departments, agencies, and localities around the country it is important to learn from past transitions and plan for technology imperatives for a culture of continuous improvements. Government leaders need technology tools that allow them to move expediently and collaboratively as their mission focused agendas require. Solutions should be implemented to realize long term benefits and capture the full potential of technology innovations. 

Public Sector Network invites you to join the conversation at our Virtual Event: Government IT Insights: Winter Edition. We will spotlight industry thought leaders and their initiatives from across the United States.

The City of Pittsburgh mapped more than 150 miles of river, park, and greenway trails in an effort to provide a better resource for residents, improve planning, enhance public safety, and track maintenance. The trail mapping was done using a high-accuracy GPS unit and ArcGIS. The project was a collaborative effort between various departments such as City Planning, GIS, Public Safety, and Parks and Recreation. This presentation will cover various phases of the project including needs assessment, implementation and data collection, and publishing of the maps while also discussing future plans to build on the success of the project.
