as they emerge
Keep your Finger on the Pulse of Every Municipality Across North America
Never again miss emerging public sector issues that surface daily in local government meeting agendas, minutes and videos.
You and your team are expected to perform the impossible task of staying on top of what every local government council and committee is talking about every day. The good news is that important signals are contained within the meeting agendas, minutes and video recordings that are being posted every day.
However, you are expected to not only identify emerging issues, but also research them and resolve them. There simply aren’t enough hours in the day to stay ahead of it all. You need a way to be notified upon the first signal of an emerging threat to your business operations. You also need to know the entire backstory.

Why Public Affairs Leaders Love Ontopical
I started using Ontopical a year ago and now can’t imagine doing my job without them. It now takes me only 20 minutes a week to track emerging issues and opportunities in the 240+ communities that we serve. SRM’s can now focus on resoving issues, rather than driving from community to community looking for emerging issues.
