State governments are under pressure to modernize legacy systems while delivering the seamless, efficient, and personalized experiences constituents increasingly expect.

Kristin Darby, Chief Information Officer for The State of Tennessee, and John Evans, Chief Technology Officer for State and Local Government at World Wide Technology, discuss how an enterprise approach to cloud, data, automation, and AI can help agencies break down silos, reduce administrative burdens, and improve public services.

They also explore how Tennessee is modernizing grants management, testing AI in its call centers and designing more connected “no wrong door” experiences around constituent needs. Evans explains how WWT and AWS are helping agencies modernize legacy applications, automate document processing and create reusable technology platforms that can scale across government.

The conversation covers:
• Why modernization should begin with the mission, not the technology
• How cloud, AI and connected data can improve constituent experiences
• The role of systems integrators in accelerating transformation
• How Tennessee is measuring the results of its AI pilots
• Why workforce readiness, governance and change management are critical
• How agencies can innovate quickly while managing security, privacy and risk
