Tailor-Made Local Government Strategies and Solutions
Needs-Based Technology Strategies to Optimize Efficiency and Enterprise Systems
Local City and County Governments face challenges that many public organizations do not. Ensuring that finances, strategies, and systems are managed correctly is critical to serving communities. However, many times, local governments struggle to modernize due to broken internal processes, antiquated enterprise systems, and lack of technical staff or knowledge.
Avèro Advisors has established partnerships with numerous City and County governments to optimize their organization’s processes, systems, and functional areas to serve their employees and communities more efficiently. With years of experience, Avèro has become a primary liaison with organizations and software & hardware vendors. As a liaison, Avèro ensures that all processes are optimized, system requirements are documented, a Request for Proposal is drafted, solicitations are reviewed thoroughly, and vendor and system selections are made to fit your organization’s IT strategies and goals. Avèro is an independent, third-party consulting firm with no affiliations to software or hardware vendors to ensure our recommendations are tailored to your custom needs.
Whether your City or County Government is large or small, Avèro curates tailor-made solutions that have been expertly assessed, documented, and strategically organized to become part of your long-term IT strategy and team. Avèro creates trusted client partnerships that cultivate success in not only your organization but within your community.
Additional Local Government Services
IT Strategic Planning
Planning and executing an IT Strategic Plan requires strong leadership and expert experience. Avèro works closely with all project stakeholder groups to craft an efficient and custom plan for each organization. Avèro understands that many organizations, like city or county governments, may not understand the importance of an IT Strategic Plan. Avèro has successfully provided IT assessment and strategic planning services to local government clients across the nation and internationally using industry best practices and a vast in-house knowledgebase of technology trends.
As your partner, Avèro will ensure that your organization is on the right path to efficiency and success with a detailed IT Modernization Roadmap. This roadmap highlights known gaps documented during the project’s discovery phase and paired with the stakeholders’ visions and goals for their current or future system needs. Your IT Strategic Plan provides tiered strategies of long-term, short-term, and immediate initiatives for your organization to implement with the help of Avèro.
Business Process Reengineering
Business process reengineering involves an informed redesign of core business processes to attain refined productivity, cycle times, and quality improvements. Avèro helps to creatively rethink existing processes to deliver more value to the department and organization. Business Process Analysis and Redesign is one of Avèro’s core areas of expertise. We pride ourselves in having delivered the highest value to our local government clients through these services.
Efficiently utilizing your enterprise software is critical. Increasing efficiency in your organization’s in-place processes can maximize your current system or determine the need for a system that better fits your organizational goals and needs. Avèro starts with analyzing your organization’s key processes and mapping “As-Is” to shed light on inefficiency and improvement throughout departments and functional areas. Creating “To-Be” process maps documents process improvements and pairs with system requirements to solicit system vendors in an RFP and vendor evaluations. Optimizing your processes allows your organization to reinvest in your internal systems and resources.
System Selection, Implementation, and Integration
System implementation and integration are long-term projects that are vital to the core of many local government organizations. Whether choosing an ERP System, Records Management System, or other Enterprise Systems, you need a software or hardware vendor that will work closely with your organization. Avèro works with your organization’s project team to ensure the vendor fulfills the requirements, creates a robust cost analysis, and strategically works with you to select the right fit for a system vendor.
Full system implementation and integration consist of system configuration, integration, testing, user acceptance testing, user manual development, end-user training, Go-Live! Support, post Go-Live! Support, and additional needs to ensure your organization achieves success.
Network & Cybersecurity
Network security is all about keeping your organization safe by focusing on protecting your internal information, and monitoring team member and network behavior in several ways. We adopt and update infrastructure to keep effective IDs and passwords, safe internet access, sensitive internal data secure by utilizing several layers of encryption, update firewalls, schedule and maintain redundant backups, and perform regular scans to ensure safe workspaces.
Cybersecurity is all about protecting your organization from threats outside of your organization. For Public Housing Authorities, we understand that security is critical. Protecting sensitive data and managing Federal mandates and regulations plays a large role in maintaining and managing your organization’s systems. Avèro keeps your organization safe by creating, updating, and maintaining network protection to detect and protect against outside attempts to compromise your network. We keep up to date with industry threats and enterprise solutions. Using effective applications within the organization, we can identify any potential risk sources and protect against them.
