Emergency Operations Plan & Mass Notification Modernization
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city lacks a publicly identified Emergency Operations Plan and has experienced resident confusion following an imminent threat alert, exposing critical mass notification gaps. Active planning for a joint 911/emergency communications center and outstanding preparedness mandates heighten operational and public safety risk.
The opportunity
Over $5M in Homeland Security Grant Program awards are already in place, with increased budget allocations for public safety IT creating a near-term procurement window. Addressing EOP and notification gaps now aligns with active mandates, reduces compliance exposure, and strengthens community resilience before the next emergency event.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
An active cybersecurity contract covering network threat management and endpoint protection expires September 20, 2026, creating an imminent replacement requirement. Concurrent IT department consolidation under interim leadership and identified credential security gaps elevate operational and compliance risk across the organization.
The opportunity
The contract expiration deadline, approved $20M technology budget, and an active IT consolidation initiative create a rare, time-bounded window to modernize security posture. Homeland Security grant funding is available for network threat management and cybersecurity training, reducing local fiscal burden while advancing mission-critical protection.

Discuss this project →Web Accessibility & Digital Compliance Remediation
Web Accessibility · Digital Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The City of Austin faces a mandated WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance deadline of April 26, 2028, requiring accessible public-facing digital portals and documents. Current gaps in web and document accessibility create legal exposure and limit equitable public access to city services.
The opportunity
The fixed 2028 deadline provides a clear planning horizon, making now the right time to scope, fund, and sequence remediation efforts within upcoming fiscal cycles. Proactive investment reduces legal risk, supports equitable service delivery, and aligns with the city's broader digital modernization priorities.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising insurance costs—up 14.2% in FY24–25 and 32.2% the prior year—signal growing fleet-related risk exposure across city operations. Gaps in contractor governance and driver safety monitoring create liability and oversight challenges that proactive telematics and dash camera solutions can address.
The opportunity
Active fleet and transportation strategic initiatives, including EV expansion and vehicle acquisition, create a natural entry point for telematics deployment within the current planning cycle. An existing GIS ecosystem supports integration, and investment now can reduce insurance trajectory and strengthen contractor accountability before risk compounds further.
Unified Endpoint & Infrastructure Management Modernization
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
An active IT consolidation initiative and significant technical debt are driving the need for unified endpoint and infrastructure management across a complex, multi-platform environment. A leadership transition in the IT security function signals a critical window for establishing standardized, coordinated management capabilities before further operational gaps emerge.
The opportunity
An approved $111M IT Fund and $20M in designated technology investments confirm budget availability within the current fiscal cycle, with no incumbent solutions identified in this space. Acting now aligns with consolidation momentum, reduces operational risk, and positions the organization to steward public technology resources more effectively.
