Leadership Transition The City of Emeryville appointed a new City Manager in 2024, signaling potential strategic shifts that could open doors for discussions on digital government modernization, procurement optimization, and citizen-facing service improvements with the new leadership.

Digital Transformation Emeryville uses a mix of Microsoft 365, Google tools, analytics, and creative software, presenting opportunities to offer integrated cloud-based collaboration, cybersecurity enhancements, data governance, and staff training to unify and optimize municipal IT and web presence.

Mobility and Smart City With transit connectivity and a ParkMobile paid-parking system, the city is positioned for smart mobility pilots, curb management, mobile payments, and data partnerships, including API integrations and analytics to optimize operations and resident experience.

Partnerships and Events Active collaborations with the Public Market Emeryville and Pixar, plus existing community initiatives, create opportunities to provide event management platforms, marketing automation, partner CRM, and sponsorship tools to streamline partnerships and community engagement.

Procurement Readiness As a mid-sized city with modest revenue and a 51-200 employee base, Emeryville can be a friendly target for flexible, cost-effective municipal IT, cybersecurity, and web performance solutions, with pre-approved vendor programs and rapid onboarding to accelerate procurement.
