A complimentary, hands-on workshop presented by Microsoft and Catapult Systems.Sponsored by DIR as part of the Technology Today Series (TTS).
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
Your Microsoft State & Local Data Specialist Team is kicking off April with an in-person workshop that will demonstrate how quickly you can use the power of AI in the cloud to connect the dots between documents, audio recordings, and pictures that may have previously considered to be unsearchable (using the John F Kennedy files as an example). From mapping live GPS coordinate feeds to enabling enterprise search capabilities across troves of documents/datapoints we will show you how to use the tools to help gain data insights not easily explored through traditional means.
As a bonus, Catapult Systems will make the same template used in the demonstration available to your agency prior to the event. In a trial workspace this template can be applied to your public/shareable data with the goal of making the interactive portion of the event as real as possible.
Please join us as we cover a variety of State & Local Government use cases that come to life via the new Data Platform Ingestion, Search, and Storage services found only in Azure.

About the technology being discussed:
