  • AI in Education: Revolutionizing Student Success
    Jan 26 2026

    AI is changing how schools use student data—moving from static records to actionable insights that guide success.

    In this episode of the GovTech podcast, Abhijit Verekar and Dustin Bainbridge—founder of Horizon Education and Unified Track and a leading voice in EdTech—explore how AI can:

    • Generate progress reports that simulate guidance and counseling
    • Help counselors manage overwhelming caseloads of 500+ students

  • Government ERP: Atlanta’s Success vs. San Francisco’s $55M Disaster
    Jan 12 2026

    Not all government ERP projects end the same way.

    Atlanta modernized successfully—engaging stakeholders, cleaning up data, and standardizing processes before going live. The results: smoother payroll, reduced costs, and sustainable upgrades.

    San Francisco, on the other hand, spent $55 million on a payroll system that left teachers unpaid and trust eroded. The difference came down to leadership discipline, governance, and following proven best practices.

    In this episode of the GovTech podcast, we break down why Atlanta succeeded and San Francisco failed—and what every government leader can learn from both.
