Agenda:

CLOUD ENABLEMENT: THE BUILDING BLOCKS FOR INTEGRATED POLICING
with Dan Hamilton (Account Technology Strategist for UK Policing, Microsoft)
Cloud transformation offers police forces unprecedented opportunities to revolutionise their operations. In this session, we’ll explore the impact of transitioning from on-premises systems to cloud-based solutions. We’ll explore future possibilities, such as using AI to enhance daily operations, applying advanced analytics to data, and the flexibility Azure offers digital forensics teams to scale their capabilities when needed.

MODERNISING POLICING: NAVIGATING LEGACY APPLICATION CHALLENGES
with Nick Prentice-Jenkins (Senior Power Platform Specialist, Microsoft), Steve Eade (Microsoft)
Legacy applications pose unique challenges for police forces, yet their continued use is crucial for providing support to their community. In this session, we’ll be delving into how low-code strategies can help forces transition away from legacy systems, including ensuring a data-first strategy is adopted to ensure the necessary security and governance is in place to protect sensitive information.

AUTOMATION, AI AND ACTIONS FOR IMPROVING CITIZEN ENGAGEMENT
with Jay Fitzhenry (Pre-Sales Lead, Node4)
Join our transformation expert Jay Fitzhenry as he discusses how Microsoft technology can enhance citizen care and engagement. We’ll explore public-facing portals and automated case progression, along with insights into leveraging AI for improved citizen engagement.

THE ROLE OF DATA IN MODERN POLICING
with Reuben Barry (Practice Director, Data & AI, Node4)
Information is the lifeblood of policing, but how can forces harness its power? In this session we’ll tackle the fundamentals of data: from managing legacy systems and unifying siloed data, to enhancing data security, effective management and gaining actionable insights to explore future possibilities of proactive policing.
