1983
Company founded
Pace Systems was established to serve the growing technology needs of local agencies with hardware, software, and consulting services.
ABOUT PACE
Trusted Government IT Partner Since 1983
Pace Systems has spent more than four decades helping municipalities adopt technology with confidence. Pace Secure AI extends that same municipal-first discipline into governed AI, retrieval, workflow automation, and secure deployment architecture.
MUNICIPAL IT EXCELLENCE
Built for public-sector reality, not generic enterprise assumptions.
For over 40 years, Pace Systems has been a trusted technology partner for municipalities, counties, and public agencies. That long operating history shapes how we build Pace Secure AI: with governance first, operational fit over hype, and a practical understanding of how public-sector teams actually work.
Pace Secure AI is the continuation of that work. It brings governed AI to municipalities through the same standards Pace has used for years in software delivery, security-sensitive environments, and long-term customer partnerships.

MISSION & STRATEGIC VISION
Why Pace Secure AI exists
Municipalities should not have to choose between AI adoption and operational control. Pace Secure AI is built to make governed AI practical, durable, and trustworthy for public institutions.
Pace Secure AI's mission
To bring enterprise-grade governed AI to municipalities of all sizes by combining advanced AI capabilities with decades of public-sector delivery experience. We help agencies deploy AI in the right boundary, connect it to the right sources, and turn it into real operational value without abandoning security, records, or accountability.
Core competencies
The pillars behind our municipal AI platform.
Governed AI orchestration
Policy-aware prompt routing, model controls, tool restrictions, and auditable decision paths across municipal workloads.
Permissioned retrieval
Municipal search and retrieval grounded in source-system permissions so AI responses respect the same boundaries as the underlying systems.
Secure deployment architecture
Support for Pace-managed government cloud, customer-controlled lanes, split-boundary deployment, and enclave-style local execution.
Operational excellence
How Pace delivers outcomes municipalities can rely on.
Proven success
600+ municipalities served, 40+ years in business, and a delivery model shaped by long-term public-sector trust.
Guided rollout
Practical, department-first deployment that helps agencies launch real workflows without overreaching on day one.
Domain expertise
Deep municipal context across software delivery, operational security, records needs, and secure modernization.
Long-term partnership
Pace builds for continuity, supportability, and real operating cadence - not one-time pilots that disappear after launch.
THE PACE SECURE AI STORY
From municipal delivery to governed AI.
Pace Secure AI is a direct extension of Pace Systems' broader municipal software and technology work.
Over the years, Pace has helped municipalities modernize systems, support staff, and navigate increasingly complex operational and security demands. That work made one thing clear: public-sector teams need AI that can fit into real municipal workflows without bypassing policy, permissions, or trust.
Pace Secure AI was built to answer that need. It brings together governed prompt routing, permissioned retrieval, workflow automation, and secure deployment lanes so municipalities can use AI in a way that still makes sense under scrutiny.
The goal is not novelty. The goal is durable municipal capability: AI that helps departments move faster while still operating in the right boundary, with the right controls, and with Pace Systems behind the implementation.
