Government Digital Transformation

Versatile technology and process solutions for government operations and oversight

Accelerate service delivery, elevate transparency, and maintain compliance 

Governments have many of the same technology needs as any large enterprise — but they cannot choose their constituents, geographies, or timetables. They have a responsibility to serve public needs through efficient, effective use of every resource at their disposal while complying with strict standards and stringent requirements for oversight and transparency.  

BDO helps state and local governments modernize and manage day-to-day operations and complex initiatives of every scale and description, ranging from long-term infrastructure improvements to urgent disaster response and recovery. Our extensive familiarity with government operations and regulations gives us unique insight into the administration of public programs. We help public entities and service providers solve operational and logistical challenges with a combination of process innovations and advanced technologies such as AI, automation, data analytics, and cloud computing — always mindful of federal requirements for cybersecurity, data privacy, and transparency.  

Our decades of experience with federal funding sources including HUD, Treasury, Energy, and FEMA help us deliver federally funded support to the right people and projects while maintaining meticulous compliance and auditability.  

At BDO, we translate innovation and technology into measurable outcomes that help government agencies deliver vital services to the public.
