The Alliance for Community Solutions is designed as a solution to the problem of keeping up with changing technology while meeting the budget crunch that many jurisdictions and regions now face.
Based on a model begun in Texas in 2007, and now used by a growing number of regions across the State of Texas and across the USA, the alliance provides a way for local and regional communities to define their technology needs and find other areas or organizations with similar needs. Then, by joining together and creating a larger project than possible for an individual region, they share in a reduced cost of entry and lower priced ongoing fees when purchasing advanced solutions that would otherwise be financially out of reach for the individual jurisdiction
