The dynamics at play
Historically, governments had precious little budget to address even the most basic traffic and safety needs (filling potholes, re-striping a fading crosswalk). But with the passing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (IIJA), state and local governments have access to game changing, once-in-ageneration funding to rethink transportation safety solutions even beyond streets and to fortify the security of those services.
Programs can be created around anything that moves – cars, trains, bikes, ships – and the people that move with and near those vehicles. The opportunities are enormous. Maybe even too enormous, because – at long last – what really stretches before these governments is the chance to bring to life their visions for the public agencies they want to become, in service to both their employees and citizens, and the myriad ways they can use technology to progress their communities with safer roads, job sites, commercial districts and more
The mandate: Put digital at the core
State and local governments are looking to repair and rebuild roads and bridges with a focus on climate change mitigation, resilience, equity and the welfare of all users. They need to fast-track digital adoption to support safer and more adaptable transportation and infrastructure and to protect workers. They have a role to play in strengthening supply chains, expediting commerce and reducing environmental impacts through modern and sustainable ports and railways that can withstand global disruptions. And they must preserve and protect the trust of their citizens by staying ahead of cybersecurity threats and risks.
All of that is possible through digital transformation. Governments must put digital at their core, rooted in a business case that demonstrates value for people, organizations and communities – transformation that makes a genuine human impact
The right partner will optimize the value of your ecosystem first and then look beyond
The ability to apply intelligent automation and AI to capture data analytics and insights may be hiding in plain sight. Many state and local governments have already made an investment in Microsoft technologies but may not be looking at the Microsoft footprint strategically to understand what can be achieved more effectively. With proven methodologies, deep expertise and leading-edge technology, Avanade can be the trusted partner to state and local governments who are seeking to fulfill the promise of the IIJA.
