In this episode of the Tyler Tech Podcast, a panel of experts from Amazon Web Services — Doug Gartner, John Persano, and Tami Fillyaw — join us to explore the realities of cloud transformation in the public sector.

Recorded live at our annual Tyler Connect conference, this timely conversation dives into the benefits and challenges of cloud adoption across public safety, justice, finance, and administration. Together, our guests break down common concerns about reliability, security, and legacy infrastructure while offering practical insights into how agencies can build a strong cloud foundation and scale smart.

Throughout the episode, Doug, John, and Tami discuss how the cloud supports greater resilience, enhances data security and compliance, and enables cost optimization and performance. They also share lessons learned from real-world migrations — from the importance of executive sponsorship to the value of training and starting small.

Tune in to hear how government leaders can overcome barriers, improve continuity, and use cloud technology to deliver more reliable and secure services to their communities.

This episode also features a special shoutout to Small Cities Month, celebrated each June, highlighting the innovation and impact of communities with fewer than 50,000 residents. From modernizing infrastructure to enhancing local services, small cities are rising to meet today’s challenges with creativity and heart.
