Modernize Emergency Communications & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The city faces critical emergency preparedness gaps, including an unresolved Emergency Operations Plan, a confusing imminent-threat alert system, and no established mass-notification platform. Ongoing planning for a joint 911/emergency communications center heightens the urgency to modernize infrastructure before the next emergency event.
The opportunity
Over $5M in Homeland Security grants have been awarded or applied for, and a newly created emergency communications office signals near-term procurement readiness. Acting within the current funding window ensures alignment with strategic initiatives and reduces operational and public-safety risk.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A recent CISO leadership transition has surfaced urgent cybersecurity compliance gaps, leaving the city in a vulnerable interim posture. With heavy reliance on existing cloud and security infrastructure and a third-party cybersecurity contract nearing expiration, the risk of service disruption and compliance exposure is immediate.
The opportunity
A recently adopted city budget includes $20M in technology investments with cybersecurity explicitly prioritized, and relevant grants have been awarded or are actively in process. Acting within this fiscal window allows the city to close compliance gaps, reduce operational risk, and establish a resilient security posture aligned with current funding availability.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Modernization
High Priority
About this project
The city faces active WCAG and Section 508 compliance gaps across public-facing digital portals, creating legal exposure and limiting equitable resident access to essential services. Identified as an ongoing operational pain point, these gaps require structured remediation to meet federal accessibility mandates.
The opportunity
Budget has been allocated and strategic initiatives for website and digital services modernization are approved, creating a clear funding pathway within the current fiscal cycle. Acting now reduces legal risk, advances equitable service delivery, and aligns remediation efforts with available resources before the window closes.
Fleet Telematics & Transportation Safety Modernization
Fleet Management · Transportation Safety
High Priority
About this project
Rising fleet maintenance costs driven by accident repairs and a truck center lawsuit settlement signal unresolved fleet safety gaps. The Austin Strategic Mobility Plan mandates telematics adoption for large city fleets, creating a clear policy and operational imperative to act.
The opportunity
Approved budget increases for traffic monitoring and fleet maintenance, combined with awarded or pending fleet management grants, create immediate funding alignment. Advancing telematics adoption now reduces accident-related liability, supports the Strategic Mobility Plan mandate, and optimizes stewardship of public transportation dollars.

IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The city's broad Microsoft security and cloud environment has introduced integration and endpoint management complexity that strains IT operations. Budget-approved initiatives for IT and cybersecurity modernization signal recognized gaps, and a recent leadership transition in the CISO role elevates compliance and operational risk.
The opportunity
With $20M in newly approved technology investments and an expiring incumbent reseller contract, the current fiscal window is an ideal entry point to address endpoint management and IT operations gaps. Acting now aligns with approved budget authority and reduces continuity risk during an active leadership transition.
