AI is already part of your organization.

Employees are using AI to research information, draft content, summarize documents, and solve problems every day. The question isn't whether AI is being used. It's whether your organization has a strategy to use it effectively, securely, and in a way that drives measurable results.

As AI adoption accelerates, many organizations are looking for ways to improve productivity, reduce unmanaged AI usage, enhance knowledge sharing, and create better customer experiences.

Join VC3 on Wednesday for a practical discussion on how businesses are approaching AI adoption and turning it into real business value.

📅 August 19
⏰ 8:30 AM PT | 11:30 AM ET

You'll see how organizations are using AI to:
✅ Improve employee productivity
✅ Reduce shadow AI and improve governance
✅ Enhance knowledge access and collaboration
✅ Deliver better website experiences
✅ Provide faster customer support

Register today and discover what a practical, business-focused AI strategy looks like.

We’re excited to announce the launch of VC3’s managed AI tools—purpose-built to help municipalities work smarter, serve residents faster, and safeguard public data. Our suite of municipal AI assistants, Secure Chat, and AI website assistant is designed with local government needs at the core, making it simple to adopt and govern AI across your organization.

From streamlining council meeting minutes to answering resident questions online, VC3’s new AI offering enables your staff to access information and complete tasks with greater ease and consistency—while ensuring sensitive data stays protected.

"Municipal leaders need AI that fits how local governments actually operate, not generic tools that require significant configuration or internal expertise to manage,” said David Bridges, President of VC3.

Ready to see how AI can make a practical impact in your municipality? Learn more or schedule a demo.

CMMC Phase II audits are on hold, but your compliance work shouldn’t be. Phase I requirements remain fully in effect during the Phase II suspension period. The DoW was explicit: "All Phase I self-assessment requirements remain firmly in place."

Each one translates into real IT decisions: tools, processes, staff time, and investment.

Most compliance problems we see aren’t caused by a lack of effort. They’re caused by a lack of planning.

The audit gets scheduled. The client asks for a security questionnaire. The insurance renewal comes around. And suddenly the IT, security, and documentation work that should have been budgeted two years ago needs to happen in 60 days.

If any of that sounds familiar, join us July 7 for a practical webinar on compliance budget planning.

No jargon. No sales pitch. Just a useful framework for leaders who want to get ahead of it.

Compliance isn’t just a policy issue ... For most organizations, it’s also a budget issue.

HIPAA safeguards. CMMC documentation. SOC 2 controls. PCI requirements.

Each one translates into real IT decisions: tools, processes, staff time, and investment.

The organizations that manage this well plan for it. The ones that don’t end up doing it reactively, under pressure, and at higher cost.

We’re hosting a free webinar on July 7 to help you plan instead of react.
