Web Accessibility & WCAG Compliance Remediation
Digital Accessibility · Regulatory Compliance
High Priority
About this project
MEDC's web presence reflects only partial WCAG conformance, and a federal ADA rule mandates full compliance by April 26, 2027. Non-conformance carries legal and regulatory consequences, and a concurrent statewide website modernization effort amplifies both the urgency and the scope of required remediation.
The opportunity
The 2027 deadline establishes a defined procurement window, and MEDC's established IT and software budget supports timely action. Addressing compliance now reduces legal exposure, aligns with the statewide modernization initiative, and ensures equitable digital access for all constituents served.

Discuss this project →Emergency Operations Plan & Preparedness Readiness
Emergency Management · Grant Compliance
High Priority
About this project
MEDC lacks a publicly accessible Emergency Operations Plan, has no designated Emergency Management Coordinator, and has unverified mass notification capabilities. These gaps create NIMS compliance exposure and jeopardize eligibility for federal preparedness funding.
The opportunity
FEMA Homeland Security Grant Program funding is directly applicable to closing these preparedness gaps, and a statewide mass notification contract provides a ready integration point for EOC coordination. Acting within the current grant cycle reduces compliance risk and strengthens MEDC's ability to protect staff, partners, and public resources.

Discuss this project →Strengthen Cybersecurity Governance & Identity Access Controls
Cybersecurity Governance · Identity & Access Management
High Priority
About this project
A high-profile grant embezzlement investigation has intensified scrutiny on MEDC's cybersecurity posture and internal controls. Password security status remains undocumented, and gaps in identity and access management elevate the risk of unauthorized access, audit findings, and reputational harm to the agency.
The opportunity
Political and governance pressure creates immediate urgency to demonstrate measurable cybersecurity improvements ahead of the upcoming fiscal cycle. COPS TEP and JAG funding pathways are available, and alignment with the Michigan Cyber Roadmap supports a defensible, compliance-driven investment case.

Discuss this project →Fleet Modernization and Mobility Oversight Initiative
Fleet Management · Infrastructure Modernization
High Priority
About this project
Michigan's Office of Future Mobility & Electrification and Maritime Strategy signal a growing mandate for fleet oversight and telematics modernization. Without proactive investment, agencies risk falling behind state mobility goals and losing visibility into fleet performance, safety, and cost efficiency.
The opportunity
FY2027 executive budget recommendations include infrastructure investments that support fleet initiatives, and cooperative purchasing vehicles offer accessible procurement pathways. Acting within the current planning cycle positions the agency to align with statewide mobility priorities and maximize available funding.

Discuss this project →Modernizing IT Endpoint Management Operations
IT Modernization · Infrastructure Management
High Priority
About this project
MEDC operates within Michigan's state procurement ecosystem with significant annual IT and software spend, yet ongoing contract management needs—evidenced by an active DRP Agreement extension—signal gaps in endpoint and infrastructure oversight. Without structured endpoint management, operational continuity and governance accountability remain at risk.
The opportunity
Existing state-level cooperative procurement vehicles reduce adoption friction and support cost-effective investment within the current fiscal framework. Addressing endpoint management now aligns with FY planning cycles and strengthens operational resilience across MEDC's technology environment.
