SimplyAsk.ai Returns to MISA BC 2025: Showcasing Municipal AI Innovation SimplyAsk.ai is excited to announce our participation at the Municipal Information Systems Association of British Columbia (MISA BC) 2025 Conference!
As a returning exhibitor and proud MISA Partner, we're bringing forward-thinking AI solutions designed specifically for municipal operations to the forefront of government technology innovation.
The MISA BC conference serves as the premier gathering for municipal technology professionals across British Columbia, bringing together decision-makers who are actively seeking solutions to modernize their operations and enhance citizen services. In this blog post, we’ll go over what you can expect from us at the conference.Â
Featured Speaking Session: Real-World AI Implementation Success Partnership Spotlight: The City of Vancouver Our collaboration with The City of Vancouver takes centre stage at MISA BC 2025 through a dedicated speaking session on September 9 at 4:00pm. Â
Our discussion, titled How Canadian Cities are Moving AI & Automation Into Practice , brings together municipal leaders who are planning and delivering value with AI and automation to explore real, responsible, and practical paths forward. Rather than focus on specific tools or vendors, we’ll hear stories about pain points, internal alignment, policy considerations, and the steps taken to move from pilot projects to operational value.
Key discussion points will include:
Strategic planning considerations for municipal AI adoption Change management best practices for technology integration Measurable outcomes and return on investment metrics Lessons learned and recommendations for other municipalities Exhibition Booth: Hands-On Solution Demonstrations Symphona Platform Showcase Our booth will feature live demonstrations of Symphona by SimplyAsk
AI Permit Evaluation: Stop your municipal teams from processing hundreds of permit applications each week. Eliminate bottlenecks by automating the evaluation process with our intelligent AI Agent. AI 311: Provide your constituents with an intelligent AI Agent that can answer common questions and file requests for nonemergency items like potholes, bylaw infractions, and more. AI Council Correspondence Triage: Improve your response rates, increase constituent satisfaction, and decrease your staff workload by automating request form capture and categorization. Integration Capabilities with Government Tools A significant focus of our booth demonstrations will showcase Symphona's seamless integration with popular government tools and systems already in use by municipal organizations, such as ServiceNow, CityWorks, and CitiView. These integrations ensure that AI capabilities enhance existing workflows rather than disrupting established processes.
These integration capabilities eliminate the complexity typically associated with new technology adoption, allowing municipalities to realize AI benefits without extensive system modifications or staff retraining.
Practical Benefits for Municipal Operations Enhanced Citizen Service Delivery Municipal staff attending MISA BC 2025 will learn how SimplyAsk.ai's solutions directly improve citizen service quality and availability. AI-powered systems can handle routine inquiries instantly, reducing wait times and freeing human staff to address complex citizen needs requiring personal attention.
The demonstrated solutions show how municipalities can provide consistent, accurate information to citizens across multiple channels while maintaining the personal touch that residents expect from their local government. This approach improves citizen satisfaction while reducing operational costs.
Operational Efficiency Improvements Our solutions target specific inefficiencies common in municipal operations, including redundant data entry, manual approval processes, and communication delays between departments. Live demonstrations will show measurable efficiency gains achieved through intelligent automation.
Municipal leaders will see concrete examples of how AI can reduce processing times for permits, streamline budget reporting, accelerate procurement processes, and improve interdepartmental coordination. These improvements translate directly into cost savings and enhanced service capacity.
Scalable Implementation Approach The solutions showcased at our booth emphasize scalable implementation that accommodates varying municipal sizes and technical capabilities. Whether serving a small township or a major metropolitan area, our AI solutions can be configured to match specific operational requirements and growth objectives.
This scalability ensures that municipalities can start with targeted implementations and expand AI capabilities as they gain experience and identify additional opportunities for automation and efficiency improvements.
Building Stronger Municipal Technology Communities SimplyAsk.ai's participation in MISA BC 2025 reflects our commitment to supporting the broader municipal technology community. We recognize that successful digital transformation requires collaboration between technology providers, municipal leaders, and implementation partners.
Our involvement in industry conferences like MISA BC enables knowledge sharing that benefits all participants. By presenting real-world case studies and demonstrating proven solutions, we contribute to the collective understanding of effective AI implementation strategies for government organizations.
If you’re attending MISA BC, come see us at Booth #30 from September 8 - 11 at Victoria, BC. In case you can’t make it, we also have a free live webinar our use cases for local government here.
