TiPS Episode 26 0629 - The Day AFTER Go Live Day
Every public safety technology project eventually reaches the same milestone:
Go-Live.
The acceptance testing is complete.
The paperwork is signed.
The ribbon is cut.
Everyone celebrates.
But what happens the next morning?
In this episode of TiPS: Today in Public Safety, I explore why the day after go-live may be the most important day of the entire project.
We discuss:
✅ Why Go-Live is the starting line—not the finish line
✅ The disappearing project team
✅ The “configuration graveyard” every mature system eventually develops
✅ Why resilience requires continuous testing—not assumptions
✅ The difference between project ownership and long-term stewardship
Whether you’re responsible for NG911, CAD, GIS, ESInets, AI, cybersecurity, radio systems, cloud infrastructure, or enterprise communications, this episode is a reminder that technology doesn’t succeed because it was implemented.
It succeeds because it’s sustained.
Because in public safety, success isn’t measured by how well a project launches…
It’s measured by how well it performs years after everyone has stopped talking about it.
