Identify and Mitigate Risk
Rapid Change Brings Heightened Risk
Organizations are rapidly transforming to meet their customers’ demands for fast, seamless and user-friendly technologies to conduct business. As new process, technology and organization change is implemented, they want validation that the transformation has minimal risk of failure.
Transformations bring various risks, including potential Technology risks (such as the strategies, processes, systems and people that manage technologies) and Operational risks (which can be process, technology or people driven).

Public Sector Risk Management
Federal and quasi-federal entities face multiple transformation hurdles that create potential risks. We understand these unique challenges to transformation and provide specialized Risk Management for the Public Sector that includes:
- Legacy System –Many are operating monolithic, legacy systems that are often ridged and fail to meet today’s digital business needs.
- Costly Upgrades –Legacy technology portfolios are often redundant and expensive to upgrade, which detracts from other modernization goals.
- Gaps in Skillsets –Teams may not be equipped to implement new process, technology and organizational change.
- Regulatory & Compliance Rules –Public Sector regulations may impede in the adoption of new technology and process.
“As a rule, software systems do not work well until they have been used, and have failed repeatedly, in real applications.”
