We are developing use cases and success stories in all towers of artificial intelligence and are offering a growing portfolio of training to our customers. We believe this will provide immediate benefit to Texas’ public sector and help retain talent as well as attract a new generation of state government workforce.

What lesson will you take with you from the pandemic?

It proved government’s ability to pivot and scale. The sense of urgency enabled the expedited adoption and transformation of digital solutions. We saw business and technology come together to meet customer needs and get services into living rooms and on mobile phones as employees had to pivot to working from home.
