Point-of-View Content

White Papers Written from an independent perspective, white papers are eight-page reports that educate the market on an important topic. Each year, we produce white papers aligned to the critical needs of government and education, with topics identified by our Research team. These papers are available for sponsors to underwrite once they are completed. White papers contain no mention of the sponsoring company within the content but acknowledge the underwriter on the back cover. Issue Briefs Issue Briefs are four-page reports that cover a current topic. Written by our market experts, they provide a rapid and simple explanation of trending issues from an independent perspective. Like white papers, issue briefs are available for sponsors to underwrite once they are completed. They contain no mention of the sponsoring company within the content but acknowledge the underwriter on the back cover.

A rtificial intelligence will likely define the next stage of government transformation. But it also comes with risks if it isn’t governed appropriately. Chief data officers (CDOs) are invaluable in helping their organizations under- stand, govern and optimize the data that fuels AI solutions, especially in the era of generative AI (GenAI). “We want to unlock all the wonderful ways GenAI will improve government, but we have to create these solutions with a degree of fairness, making AI secure, accountable and transparent,” says Adita Karkera, Chief Data Officer for Government and Public Services, Deloitte Consulting LLP, a role in which she advises public sector CDOs on their data and AI practices. “CDOs have a critical role to play because this is all driven by data. CDOs will be those champions that are going to help prioritize the data and governance.”

Data at the Heart Data is the foundation of AI models and algorithms. To maximize AI’s potential — and take advantage of GenAI — state and local govern- ments and education (SLED) organizations will need to better harness their data. CDOs understand the data ecosystem and how to shape it. They know what use cases will have high impact and which are feasible. And they’re positioned to actively engage with elected and executive leaders. They’re already involved in efforts to ensure data quality and integrity, but CDOs will play a pivotal role in crafting effective data and AI gover- nance policies, as well as policy frameworks for responsible, ethical AI. “Data is what’s fueling AI solutions,” Karkera says. “AI solutions are only going to be as good and trustworthy as the data that’s fed into them. The CDO plays a key part in managing and ensuring the data that is fed into GenAI solutions is trustworthy.” Data quality is essential, but it’s also important for agencies to get started where they can and iterate and improve along the way, says Hari Murthy, a Managing Director of Government and Public Services, Deloitte Consulting LLP. “Data is central to GenAI, but don’t wait for perfection of data before realizing its capabilities,” he says. “Achieving high-quality results with GenAI models typically requires about three to four months dedicated to training on relevant data.”

A GOVERNMENT TECHNOLOGY CASE STUDY | QUORUM

Case Studies Case studies highlight how a public-sector agency or organization have partnered with your company to solve a specific business challenge or implement a particular technology. We handle everything — from writing to design to distribution. We even reach out to your customer and interview them to capture their perspective on the value of your partnership. Thought Leadership Papers Thought leadership papers are designed to educate the marketplace on a particular solution or technology. Designed to be a “soft sell,” sponsors of thought leadership papers can directly link their technology or solution to the problem or challenge the thought leadership paper presents. We will work closely with you to determine the focus of your paper and the elements that should be covered. We can also include a short customer case study within the thought leadership paper.

Position Papers A position paper shares your company’s point-of-view on a particular issue, topic or technology, providing an opportunity to speak directly to your target audience in your voice and messaging. Persona-Based Papers Person-based papers are thought leadership papers that target a specific title or titles (i.e., policymakers, chief information officers, legislators, chief information security officers, etc.). We leverage our expertise to create content that will resonate with the public-sector persona of your choice.

A CENTER FOR DIGITAL GOVERNMENT Q&A | TYLER TECHNOLOGIES

Modernizing the Resident Experience

A CENTER FOR DIGITAL GOVERNMENT INFOGRAPHIC

Angela Fultz Nordstrom, vice president of strategy and growth for Tyler Technologies, explains how digital technology helps government agencies provide better service to the public.

Managed Application Services: A Force Multiplier Managed application services let agencies offload responsibility for running, maintaining and optimizing applications — enabling internal IT teams to focus on strategic priorities.

When someone wants to start a business, they typically interact with multiple agencies at all levels of government — federal, state and local. This often requires visiting multiple offices, completing lots of paperwork, and paying for various licenses and registrations. Technology can improve this experience by connecting similar steps in the process, while allowing each government entity to remain in control of their requirements. Digital tools like centralized identity access management and payment systems break down traditional agency silos, creating a one- stop experience. How can government agencies ensure digital services are secure and that data privacy is protected? Technology can connect agencies to residents and vice versa, but most important, governments must protect

residents’ data and act as good stewards of the public’s trust. When implementing digital services, agencies should evaluate technology to make sure they are safeguarding the data they have responsibility for — which includes everything from a person’s identity to payment information. Each agency has both the authority and expertise in how its data can be used and how it must be secured. Technology platforms that analyze the data can help agencies mature their data management practices and ensure that digital services adhere to data privacy practices. How should agencies evaluate the impact and success of digital initiatives? Before implementing a new service or solution, agencies can collect quantitative and qualitative data on how that process is currently handled.

How have expectations for digital government evolved? Residents expect services to be seamless, efficient and delivered in the ways they need. Technology can play a critical role in creating a secure and innovative digital government experience. Today’s solutions, ranging from payment wallets and identity management to enhanced digital forms and mobile transactions, help agencies build a connected digital government experience where residents can easily engage with their government and get the services they require. What government processes can be enhanced by digital services? Digital services can enhance almost any government process. Let’s look at one example — business registration.

Agencies are under pressure to modernize

Infographics Infographics visually explain a complicated topic while delivering your unique point of view.

Artificial Intelligence AI helps agencies address the scale, complexity and urgency of their work in a way that human teams cannot. By rapidly processing vast amounts of data, automating workflows and learning as new data is added, AI tools give agencies a better understanding of the public-safety environment. They increase the efficiency and accuracy of crime prevention, detection, response, investigation and reporting. “The next generation of law enforcement leaders has to get a foundational understanding of AI and ML so they can do a better job of planning,” says Wright. “These things should be as important as understanding mental illness, firearms, police pursuits and other disciplines.”

Tip! Go-To Guides are one of the most downloaded assets. They are long enough to provide a deep dive into a topic but short enough for a quick read.

Simplifying and improving service access is the #1 priority for state and local government leaders

The following AI use cases can help agencies address emerging issues:

“I’ve identified younger officers who have the competency to be functional leads on some of our big projects. They appreciate the technology and are eager to put it to use.” Dennis Weiner, Chief of Police, Round Rock Independent School District

Cybersecurity. Law enforcement agencies are prime targets for hostile nation- states and criminal organizations. AI-informed cybersecurity tools quickly analyze threat intelligence, perform behavioral analysis to keep out bad actors, and automatically detect and mitigate threats such as phishing and ransomware. Social media. AI tools help officers mine and analyze massive volumes of social media data. Using these tools, officers can track real-time activities surrounding public events, prevent and investigate crimes, and understand public sentiment about community issues. Facial recognition technology. Agencies use this technology to identify individuals on terrorist watch lists and suspects in violent crimes. The technology can also identify older adults who have gotten lost and children who may be victims of human traffic king. Virtual reality (VR) training. VR simulates real-world scenarios and environments so new recruits and officers joining tactical support units can safely practice their skills. Content production (generative AI). Although many agencies are still vetting generative AI technology, officers are already using it to write reports and summarize information, detect patterns and trends for predictive policing, and answer questions about complex issues. “Generative AI tools allow me to ask better questions of data. For example, I don’t have to be a cybersecurity expert to type in something like, ‘Show me all the machines that are connecting to China that don’t have authorization to do that,’” says Wright.
