Unified Endpoint Management & IT Consolidation
IT Modernization · Cybersecurity
High Priority
About this project
The agency operates a fragmented IT environment with multiple endpoint management tools, creating oversight gaps and operational inefficiency. Legacy system replacements carry firm cut-off dates in 2027 and 2028, and several IT contracts expiring within 18 months elevate consolidation urgency and continuity risk.
The opportunity
Active budget hearings through December 2026 and new executive leadership create a near-term window to advance consolidation through established cooperative procurement vehicles. Acting now reduces contract redundancy, strengthens cybersecurity posture, and aligns with approved modernization timelines.

Cybersecurity · IT Modernization
High Priority
About this project
A cybersecurity password security mandate is explicitly past due, creating an immediate compliance gap for the agency. Existing basic password management tools are candidates for consolidation, signaling an active and unmet need for stronger privileged access controls across the environment.
The opportunity
The overdue mandate leaves no room for delay, and new executive leadership paired with an active IT modernization initiative creates strong alignment for action. With budget hearings active and several IT contracts expiring within 18 months, the current fiscal window is well-positioned to fund and advance this initiative.

Web Accessibility · Digital Services Compliance
High Priority
About this project
The agency faces an active ADA Title II mandate requiring WCAG 2.1 Level AA compliance by April 26, 2027. Accessibility gaps in web and document services have been identified, elevating legal and operational risk for constituents who depend on equitable access to public digital services.
The opportunity
The firm April 2027 deadline and active budget hearings through December 2026 create a defined window to secure funding and begin remediation. Acting now supports executive-sponsored digital services priorities, reduces compliance exposure, and ensures equitable public access ahead of the mandate.

Fleet Management · Audit Compliance
High Priority
About this project
A September 2024 State Auditor performance audit flagged fleet data and reporting as a Priority issue with High program operations severity, citing unreliable data and inadequate monitoring. The active FLEET & TRANSPORTATION strategic initiative confirms organizational awareness, but deficiencies remain unresolved, elevating public accountability and operational risk.
The opportunity
Documented audit findings create a clear public mandate for remediation, and active budget hearings through late 2026 provide a near-term funding window. Addressing fleet data gaps now reduces audit exposure, strengthens operational oversight, and supports stewardship of state assets.

Discuss this project →Modernize Emergency Preparedness & Mass Notification
Emergency Management · Public Safety
High Priority
About this project
The agency lacks a confirmed Emergency Operations Plan, business continuity plan, and dedicated mass-notification capability, relying instead on basic webpages and phone recordings. No agency-wide continuity exercises have been conducted, leaving staff, operations, and public communications exposed to significant readiness and compliance risk.
The opportunity
New executive leadership and an active operational reorganization create a timely opening to close continuity gaps, with budget hearings underway and established cooperative procurement vehicles available to streamline acquisition. Addressing these gaps now reduces operational risk and strengthens the agency's ability to protect staff and maintain public services during emergencies.
