Public organizations face a challenge private companies rarely do: every technology decision must be fair, transparent and able to stand up to public scrutiny.
We supported provincial and municipal clients as they procured and implemented enterprise systems. The technology had to work, and the process had to be right.
In the public sector, how you buy matters as much as what you buy.
The challenge
Public bodies needed enterprise systems procured and implemented within strict purchasing rules and oversight.
Our approach
We supported procurement and ERP implementation for provincial and municipal government clients, working within each organization's policies, purchasing rules and governance.
