End-to-end smart city intelligence platform built on AWS
Sphere delivers end-to-end smart city platforms on AWS – unifying traffic, utilities, public safety, environmental monitoring, and citizen services into a single, integrated city intelligence platform. FedRAMP-ready architecture, open APIs, and a pre-built accelerator that gets cities live in months, not years.

Why This Matters Now
Cities face a fragmentation crisis: traffic sensors from one vendor, utility monitoring from another, public safety cameras from a third – and zero integration between them. City operations teams are managing 8–15 separate software systems that don’t talk to each other, making it impossible to see the full picture, respond to incidents intelligently, or prove ROI to city councils and taxpayers.
1. Data Silos Block Intelligence
15 separate city systems generating data that never combines means operations teams are always missing context – responding to symptoms rather than addressing root causes.
2. Vendor Lock-In Creates Perpetual Dependency
Proprietary smart city platforms charge premium subscription fees and make it expensive to switch – trapping cities in escalating costs with no competitive alternatives.
3. Procurement and Compliance Requirements Slow Innovation
Federal and state security requirements (FISMA, CJIS, FedRAMP) require specialized cloud architecture expertise that most city IT teams don’t have internally.
What Sphere Delivers
Sphere’s AWS Smart City Platform is built on open APIs, open standards (NGSI-LD), and AWS GovCloud – giving cities full data ownership, compliance confidence, and the flexibility to add, swap, or extend any system component over time. Our accelerator includes pre-built integrations for 40+ common city systems and a unified operations console that goes live in 90 days.
Built On Industry-Leading Technology
Sphere’s AWS Smart City Platform is built for municipalities that need one operational layer across infrastructure, public safety, utilities, mobility, and citizen services without locking themselves into a closed vendor stack. The architecture combines AWS GovCloud, real-time streaming, AI services, GIS integration, and open standards so cities can unify data, support compliance, and expand system capabilities over time on a secure and interoperable foundation.

Hear From Our Clients
Our experience with Sphere and their team has been and continues to be fantastic. We keep throwing new projects at them, and they keep knocking them out of the park (including the rescue of a project that was previously bungled by another vendor).
I would expect to be delighted. It’s been a really positive experience, working with Sphere, and I would expect you to have the same.
Sphere consistently prioritizes the needs of their clients, demonstrating both agility and teamwork. They bring innovative and well-considered solutions, consistently surpassing my expectations.
Sphere provided excellent full-stack development manpower to augment our team and work with us.
We've been working with Sphere and its excellent consultants since our founding. Their combination of offshore talent, pricing, and shift offsetting is hard to beat. They provide crucial augmentation to our in-house team. We simply couldn't achieve our production ambitions without their service.
The resources and developers that Sphere Software provides are skilled and have the required technical expertise to complete their tasks successfully, with the team easily scaled in either direction. The deliverables are always high-quality.
With Sphere, we were able to migrate in half the time it would take to train an additional FTE…
These things would not have been achievable if we did not build our own in-house system. We augmented our development team capabilities using Sphere’s developer, who works very well with our Dev Lead in Chicago. Sphere’s developer was an expert in the new system, and continues to be an expert as we evolve it.
