Meet SOAL Technologies at e-Records Conference 2026

Compliance to Intelligence.

We’re heading to Austin, Texas, and we’d love to see you there. On Friday, November 20, 2026, Prakash and Tim will be at Table #32 at the e-Records Conference 2026, ready to talk about what it takes to move from compliance to intelligence.

If you work in records, tech, legal, or data for state government, stop by. No pitch deck required. Just a real conversation.

Where to Find SOAL: Table #32 at the e-Records Conference

Here’s everything you need to know to plan your day:

• Date: Friday, November 20, 2026, in person
• Venue: Commons Conference Center, 2901 Read Granberry Trail, Austin, Texas 78758 
• Our spot: Table #32
• Who you’ll meet: Prakash and Tim from SOAL Technologies

Exhibits are open from check-in and breakfast onward, and again during breaks and lunch. The exhibit area uses tabletop displays instead of big trade show setups, which makes it easy to walk up and chat.

What Compliance to Intelligence Actually Means

The conference theme, “Compliance to Intelligence,” reflects the connection between meeting records-management requirements and using information more effectively. 

For public-sector organizations, the challenge extends beyond storing electronic records. It also involves the following: 

• Managing information responsibly, 
• Supporting data governance, 
• Protecting privacy, and 
• Evaluating emerging technologies.

Compliance is still the floor. Intelligence is what you build on top of it. And you can’t build anything without the right people.

What’s on the Agenda

The day has a lot packed in. A few things worth circling:

The day kicks off with a session on the ethical use of AI. After that, the day splits into four tracks: 

• Compliance Foundations, 
• Intelligence & Modernization, 
• People & Program Maturity, and 
• Thought Leader. 

When the afternoon hits, the workshops get really hands-on, covering things like how to layer AI governance onto a records program you already have, and how to build public records workflows that are actually governed.

Oh, and there’s a half-day with the Department of Information Resources  Innovation Lab, too. That’s where attendees get to actually play around with AI tools built specifically for Texas public sector records and data work.

Why a Staffing Company Cares About Compliance and Intelligence

Fair question. Here’s our honest answer.

Every priority on that agenda needs people who can do the work. Someone has to run the data governance program. Someone has to secure the systems. Someone has to make sense of AI tools before they touch public records. Tools help, but they don’t staff themselves.

That’s where SOAL Technologies comes in. We help organizations find tech professionals for exactly this kind of work, through contract, contract-to-hire, and direct hire. We staff all over Texas and across the country, so whether your team is in Austin or somewhere else entirely, we can help you fill the seat.

Come Talk to Prakash and Tim at Table #32

Not sure what to ask? Here are a few conversation starters:

• Should this modernization project use contract talent or a permanent hire?
• How do we staff a data or AI governance role when the skills are still new?
• What’s the fastest way to hire tech talent in the current Austin, Texas market?
• How do we keep a project moving when headcount is tight?

Prakash and Tim have heard all of them, and they’re happy to talk through yours.
