New Orleans Announces Digital Overhaul with Cartegraph System to Boost City Operations

With a major digital overhaul, the City of New Orleans is taking the initiative to modernize its infrastructure management. Mayor LaToya Cantrell recently announced that the local of New Orleans has acquired Cartegraph, an enterprise asset management system from OpenGov, with the goal of improving operations in a number of local agencies. The Public Works Department, Property Management, Parks and Parkways, Sanitation, and the New Orleans Recreation Development Commission will all find this cloud-based technology to be an essential tool.

Mayor Cantrell said, “This investment in digital infrastructure will position us to provide better services and ensure smarter management of our City’s assets & resources.” The decision has far-reaching implications. The City of New Orleans claims that the implementation of Cartegraph is a deliberate move to advance accountability, openness, and operational effectiveness. Importantly, this introduction will soon start giving city workers the ability to manage resources more efficiently.

According to city officials, the asset management system will be implemented in phases starting in the second quarter of 2025 and will be fully operational by 2026. The City of New Orleans anticipates that the new approach will result in better public infrastructure upkeep, quicker response to public needs, more contact with residents, and better resource allocation. Simplified operations both inside and across city departments, real-time data tracking, and data-driven, educated decision-making to efficiently allocate resources and prioritize projects are among the benefits mentioned.

Staff training, which is now in the planning stages, is essential to the system’s effective deployment. “As the City prepares for the system s rollout, staff will undergo comprehensive training to ensure a smooth transition and maximize its potential to support better coordination among departments and improve service delivery for residents,” the statement said. The city workers will undoubtedly be better prepared to handle the long-term benefits expected from this renovation thanks to this training endeavor. An in-depth report on this effort is available on the official website of the City of New Orleans.
