Virtualization Platform Migration & Cost Optimization
IT Modernization · Data Center Operations
High Priority
About this project
The City of Lansing is actively migrating away from its current virtualization platform due to significant cost increases, with the initiative formally tied to FY 2027 IT budget goals for data center sustainability. Delays risk compounding expenditures and disrupting core municipal IT operations.
The opportunity
The FY 2027 IT budget reflects a 14.7% increase in approved expenditures, providing a funded window to execute this migration now and capture long-term cost efficiencies. Acting within the current fiscal cycle aligns procurement with approved appropriations and reduces operational and financial risk.

IT Modernization · Service Delivery

About this project
The City's IT Department is actively procuring a new ITSM ticketing tool to address operational gaps in managing service requests and internal workflows. Without a modernized system, staff efficiency, response times, and accountability for IT service delivery remain at risk.
The opportunity
The IT Department's FY 2027 budget reflects a 14.7% expenditure increase, signaling funded capacity for this initiative. Acting within the current procurement cycle and leveraging cooperative purchasing vehicles can accelerate implementation and maximize public value.

Discuss this project →Cybersecurity Hardening: MFA, Endpoint Protection & Password Management
Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City has confirmed grant funding for multifactor authentication and endpoint detection and response, yet lacks an enterprise password and secrets management solution—leaving critical infrastructure exposed. These gaps create measurable compliance and operational risk across city systems and staff access points.
The opportunity
The Edward Byrne Memorial JAG deadline of July 2026 creates a firm near-term window to deploy funded cybersecurity controls with limited local match required. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures compliance alignment, reduces breach exposure, and maximizes available grant dollars before the deadline lapses.

Discuss this project →ADA & Digital Accessibility Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City of Lansing is executing a multi-phase effort to achieve full ADA and PDF compliance across its digital assets and public-facing portals. With a remediation tool already procured for PDF compliance, the broader ADA initiative remains in progress, carrying active legal risk and equity obligations for residents who rely on accessible digital services.
The opportunity
Active federal compliance deadlines and legal exposure create urgency to close remaining accessibility gaps before the current fiscal cycle closes. With budget already allocated and procurement underway, this is a funded, in-motion initiative well-positioned for immediate expansion and completion.

Discuss this project →Emergency Management & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The City of Lansing has experienced repeated emergency declarations—including severe weather, extreme heat, and flooding—while relying on a mass notification system with identified gaps. With FY 2026–27 budget allocations expanding public safety staffing, ensuring notification infrastructure keeps pace is an operational and community safety imperative.
The opportunity
The Homeland Security Grant Program and Edward Byrne JAG—with a deadline approaching in July 2026—offer aligned funding paths for emergency management investments with limited local match required. Acting within the current grant window positions the City to close notification gaps, strengthen response readiness, and protect residents before the next declared emergency.

Discuss this project →Video Management & IT Asset Tracking Modernization
Physical Security · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The City's IT Department has identified active gaps in physical security visibility and IT asset tracking, with funded procurements underway for both a video management system and an asset management system. Without modern solutions in place, operational oversight, accountability, and infrastructure integrity remain at risk.
The opportunity
A 14.7% IT budget increase in FY 2027 provides direct funding capacity for these initiatives, and cooperative purchasing agreements can streamline procurement timelines. Acting within the current fiscal cycle ensures continuity of modernization momentum and reduces operational exposure.
