Transforming Local Government with Salesforce Public Sector Foundation
As local governments strive to improve efficiency, transparency, and citizen engagement, legacy systems often create barriers to progress. Salesforce Public Sector Foundation (PSF) provides counties and municipalities with a modern, scalable solution to streamline permitting, licensing, inspections (LPI), case management, and service requests. This session will first cover the most important features of PSF, including automation, self-service portals, and real-time data insights. Then, we will explore key use cases, such as improving regulatory compliance, optimizing resource allocation, and enhancing community services. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of key use cases, best practices for implementation, and strategies for driving digital transformation in the public sector. Whether addressing regulatory compliance, optimizing resource allocation, or enhancing community services, this session will highlight how Salesforce empowers local governments to operate more effectively and better serve their constituents.
