When it Comes to Video Collaboration, "Good Enough" isn't Good Enough. Perfecting the Idea of Smart City. Otto Doll, CIO, City of Minneapolis People want to feel safe, connected, and want their privacy maintained—not only in the physical world, but also in the online space.
Along with the rising security concerns, another challenge for the local government, today, is to ‘innovate with residents’ rather than ‘innovate for residents’.

Thomas Gresham, Acting Director, Business Information and Technology, San Diego Unified Port District Cyber Threat Intelligence (CTI) is becoming a critical component in an organization’s overall risk mitigation strategy.
In recent years, the use of threat intelligence has gained popularity as the value of threat prediction and proactive defense building has proven itself effective at mitigating threat activities. CTI provides information that links the probability and impact of a cyber-attack by providing a framework for timely analysis and prioritization of potential threats and vulnerabilities given an industry’s threat landscape.
CTI can assist in providing organizations with the information needed to direct resources to address threats. “CTI products provide the information necessary for decision makers to direct resources to address well-defined threats to an organization” CTI has a direct and powerful benefit for organizations in terms of risk management.

Darnell Smith, CIO, City of Raleigh, North Carolina Raleigh, North Carolina, is a modern city that sits at a crucial technological crossroads. We anchor the Research Triangle region and are North Carolina’s capital. We’re booming in many ways; residents from all walks of life readily offer the statistic that roughly 66 people per day move to this area and claim it as their home. As with many local governments, even those larger than Raleigh, we are making huge strides toward moving functions to a cloud environment. Citizens expect the latest technologies and the infrastructure that supports those advancements. "Putting into place our new multifaceted and focused IT strategy enables us to move more services to the cloud with intention. " Empowering the Public Sector and the People. Tanya Acevedo, CIO, Travis County Travis County, with its county seat in Austin, Texas, is one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas in the nation.

And newer, faster, scalable technology is required to enable Travis County Government to deliver these services, while trying to stem the need for growth of Full Time Equivalents (FTEs) by either automating processes, allowing for constituent self-service, or using data to predict and allocate resources where needed. We need digital processes that make sense, which add value to our constituent’s lives and that shows a true return on our taxpayers’ investment.
Creating a Tech - Enabled Ecosystem. Brenna Berman, Executive Director, City Tech Collaborative Government organizations, including cities, have a reputation for being late technology adopters. The standard image of government is a bureaucracy choosing to wait until a solution is fully vetted by other industries before advancing an implementation. However, in the realm of emerging technologies, including the Internet of Things and Artificial Intelligence, many cities are early adopters, breaking the stereotype of government as a slow participant in innovation.
This trend has been the underpinning of the smart cities market for several years now and urban innovation shows no signs of slowing down. Understanding why cities are early adopters and the impact of this increasing trend gives insight into the new role that cities are playing as they drive technology innovation.
