Innovation runs deep in Southern Nevada. As cities across the United States look to deploy new ideas for 21st century challenges, Clark County has expressed an openness to emerging technologies that have positioned the county as an enduring force.
Point in case: In 2017, the City of Las Vegas partnered with Cisco, RTT, and Dell on a smart city project in the downtown area. The world’s first self-driving shuttle to be fully integrated with smart-city infrastructure hit the streets of downtown Las Vegas in 2017, allowing the layman to experience autonomous driving in a real-world setting.
With new STEM projects being organized throughout the Clark County School District, as well as higher education institutions, technology and automation businesses in Southern Nevada are a breeding ground for innovation.
The Information Technology (IT) department in Clark County drives much of the problem-solving and solution-based services needed to provide comfort and reliability.

Both IT services are aimed to maintain technology-based solutions to the problems and needs of your business.
