We reduced an early-education agency's application footprint from thirty-five to five and its identity systems from ten to one through an IT strategic plan built backwards from its business strategy, then designed the service catalogue and governance model for its background record check programme; benchmarked thirty educator-licensing solutions across twenty-six states before a state education office committed to a procurement; from 2021 to 2023 provided independent verification of custom professions-licensing development for a state education department; and since 2025 have provided continuous independent verification and validation of a public university system's Workday implementation for HCM, payroll and financials across all twenty-six of its colleges and its central office.
An IT strategic plan built backwards from a newly set five-year business strategy — rationalizing the application estate, collapsing ten identity systems into one, and settling governance across three agencies.
Rather than write an RFP and hope, we mapped what every comparable state had actually bought, what it cost them, and how long it took — then built a procurement strategy around the answer.
