Webinar: Technology Consolidation and What It Unlocks

Thursday, October 22, 2026

10 AM PT · NOON CT · 1 PM ET

Virtual · Live Q&A

From disconnected forms and spreadsheets to connected workflows: See how Natomas Unified approached technology consolidation—and what changed when one solution expanded across departments.

District technology can become fragmented over time, leaving departments to manage information across multiple systems and manual handoffs. Natomas Unified took a different approach, starting with high-friction workflows and expanding from there to consolidate administrative processes, simplify technology support, and improve visibility. The district has since eliminated three platforms previously used for administrative workflows.

On October 22, join us to hear directly from Natomas IT and HR leaders about what prompted the change, how they approached implementation, and what they’ve learned from consolidating technology across departments..

Featured Speakers

Anthony Da Marto

Director, HEART Department Natomas Unified School District

Questions to ask about your current approach:

  • How many different systems does one administrative process touch from start to finish?

  • Where are staff still entering or transferring the same information between systems?

  • Which workflows depend on someone remembering who needs to receive the next form or approval?

  • Are you adding another tool to solve a problem—or could an existing platform handle more?

  • What process could you simplify first to demonstrate the value of consolidation?
