Municipal Tech System Risks Leaders Can’t Afford To Ignore

Connecting Software CEO Thomas Berndorfer spoke to Forbes Councils about critical tech risks for municipal leaders. He emphasized that a lack of effective Business Continuity Planning (BCP) can be a major risk factor in local governments - especially when they are dependent on a single cloud provider or environment.

He emphasized that:

"In recent years, everyone has gone to M365 for collaboration and even phone calls, but with current fears of the breakdown of data centers, you need to have a backup when infrastructure is no longer working. Most municipal systems are not redundant, which means when there is a failure of a data center, they cannot communicate anymore."

Companies are often left paralyzed when they don't have access to critical systems, unable to communicate internally, move sales forward, or organize effectively. Often, companies under these conditions face significant regulatory risk.
