In this episode of the Tyler Tech Podcast, we explore how data is strengthening resilience in government operations, fostering transparency, and driving innovation in the public sector. With Open Data Day approaching, now is the perfect time to discuss how making data more accessible can empower communities, improve decision-making, and enhance public services.

Drawing from his experience deploying open data solutions for the City of Jackson, Mississippi, Justin discusses how governments can leverage data to improve resident engagement, increase operational efficiency, and bolster resilience across multiple areas—including cybersecurity, disaster management, and economic development.
Throughout the conversation, Justin highlights real-world examples of how public sector organizations are using data to improve transparency, enhance service delivery, and make data-driven decisions that benefit their communities. He also shares insights into the emerging trends shaping the future of government data, including artificial intelligence (AI), predictive analytics, and digital accessibility.
