ON DEMAND RECORDING

Expires Wed Dec 18 2025.

Overview:

Great software can improve water operations in countless ways, and we can’t wait to show you some of them. But software selection and implementation can also be a challenging journey for municipalities in 2025. Security concerns and legislative requirements are constantly changing. AI seems to be everywhere. What’s going on? It’s hard to keep up.

Get the tools you need to select and launch great software that makes everyone happy – even your IT Department!
