Municipal government, like private business, is challenged with trying to find ways to improve the bottom line by holding down capital and operational expenses. Municipal governments are complex service delivery machines and many times, because of unique organizational structures and operational methods there are expense duplications due to a number of reasons. These duplications can be very costly and can also impact other unrelated projects if funds are being competitively sought within the organization.

In addition to joint or "Group" purchasing efforts, identifying and recording technology assets and use-cases can provide a wealth of information and cost savings. In many cases the assets that were purchased for one specific program will have excess capacity that could service another program or group but unless this capacity is identified the probability of asset duplication is very real.

Municipal Cost Control And Containment

Technology Asset Identification
Reduce cost and expense-duplication by identifying and recording your technology resources.

• Know your technology assets
• Know the capacity of those resources
• Understand how to utilize spare capacity
• Save capital and operational dollars

Cost Saving Application Adaptation
Lower your organizations internal operating costs by utilizing proven private sector programs for your daily public sector operations.

Some example use cases include:

• Automated, centralized "remote" water meter reading
• Remote SCADA system control and data delivery
• Centralized video surveillance of vulnerable city sites
• Network access and VoIP service for mobile users
• Centralized HVAC and building controls management
• Enterprise-wide site access and building security management

Regardless of the utility or service you provide your community remote system management and control can lower your overall operational expenses and allow you to better utilize your labor resources more effectively and efficiently.
