​Overview
Local governments face increasing demands to streamline permitting and licensing processes while ensuring transparency, compliance, and efficiency. Traditional, paper-based workflows or outdated legacy systems can no longer keep up with the pace of development, regulatory changes, and citizen expectations. This webinar introduces local government stakeholders to the transformative power of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in modernizing permitting and licensing operations.

​

Through an integrated GIS-centric approach, communities can visualize spatial data to accelerate decision-making, improve collaboration across departments, and reduce turnaround times for permits and inspections. The webinar will explore how local governments can digitize workflows, automate routine tasks, and use geospatial intelligence to enhance service delivery, community engagement, and regulatory compliance.

​

Attendees will learn how to centralize data from zoning, land use, building codes, and environmental requirements into a unified digital platform that supports smarter development decisions. Experts will also address key issues such as scalability, integration with existing systems, and digital equity in permitting access.

​

Join us to discover how a GIS-driven platform can be the foundation of a smarter, more responsive permitting and licensing process—benefiting planners, inspectors, developers, and citizens alike.

​

The Problem
Permitting and licensing processes in many local governments are fragmented, inefficient, and slow to adapt to the demands of modern development. Outdated systems often lack spatial context, causing delays, miscommunication, and frustration for both staff and citizens. Without GIS integration, governments miss opportunities to improve transparency, automate compliance, and reduce permitting bottlenecks.

Overview
Local governments today are under intense pressure to do more with less—manage growing infrastructure needs, address aging assets, and comply with new funding requirements—all while grappling with labor shortages and outdated systems. This webinar explores how modern digital asset lifecycle management (ALM) strategies are transforming the way municipalities plan, build, operate, and maintain their infrastructure.

​

Attendees will learn how connected data environments and digital workflows can eliminate inefficiencies caused by siloed legacy systems, reduce capital and operational expenditures, and enhance public trust through improved asset transparency. We’ll explore the shift from project-centric to asset-centric models and how a unified technology platform supports better decisions, from capital planning to predictive maintenance.

​

This session will introduce proven ALM capabilities such as digital project delivery, enterprise asset management, and integrated data environments—giving public sector leaders the tools they need to increase long-term infrastructure resilience and optimize performance across their asset portfolios.

​

Whether you’re planning to modernize public works systems, streamline permitting and inspections, or digitize your operations for smarter service delivery, this session will equip your team with insights and strategies to lead digital transformation at your agency.

​

The Problem
Public agencies are managing more infrastructure projects than ever, yet most still rely on outdated, disconnected systems that trap data in silos. These inefficiencies increase costs by up to 15%, hinder transparency, and undermine the ability to make timely, data-driven decisions. Without a digital lifecycle strategy, communities risk losing the long-term value of infrastructure investments and public trust.

​

Overview
Local governments face mounting pressure to stretch limited transportation budgets while maintaining safe, high-performing roadways. Aging infrastructure, inflation-driven construction costs, and heightened public expectations demand more strategic, data-driven approaches to pavement management. Traditional methods often rely on fragmented systems, outdated inspections, and reactive maintenance models—resulting in costly inefficiencies, public dissatisfaction, and missed funding opportunities.

​

This 90-minute webinar explores how cities and counties are transforming pavement management through modern GIS-enabled workflows, predictive analytics, and integrated asset management systems. Attendees will learn how real-time condition assessments, optimized maintenance scheduling, and cost-effective project prioritization can extend pavement life cycles and reduce total ownership costs. Experts will demonstrate how unified data environments and intuitive dashboards are empowering transportation departments to make smarter, more transparent decisions.

​

Whether your agency is seeking to improve roadway safety, meet performance-based planning requirements, or unlock new infrastructure funding, this session provides actionable insights for building a sustainable, resilient street network. Learn how local governments are modernizing their pavement strategies—not just to fix roads, but to future-proof them.

​

The Problem
Local governments are challenged by aging road infrastructure, limited budgets, and rising maintenance costs. Legacy pavement management approaches are often siloed and reactive, leading to inefficient resource allocation and shortened asset life spans. Without modern digital tools and data integration, agencies struggle to prioritize repairs effectively, justify investments, and demonstrate compliance with performance standards.
