    Government ERP: Atlanta’s Success vs. San Francisco’s $55M Disaster

    Not all government ERP projects end the same way. Atlanta modernized successfully—engaging stakeholders, cleaning up data, and standardizing processes before going live. The results: smoother payroll, reduced costs, and sustainable upgrades. San Francisco, on the other hand, spent $55 million on a payroll system that left teachers unpaid and trust eroded. The difference came down to leadership discipline, governance, and following proven best practices. In this episode of the GovTech podcast, we break down why Atlanta succeeded and San Francisco failed—and what every government leader can learn from both. #GovTech #GovernmentModernization #ERPLeadership #DigitalTransformation Register for our FREE GovTech in Digital Transformation Insight Workshop: ➡ https://conference.averoadvisors.com/averoinsights Top 10 Public Sector ERP Systems: : ➡ https://share.hsforms.com/1ee49ru4aSpe3x4Byzuqifgeexml Learn More About Avero: ➡ https://www.averoadvisors.com Connect With Us: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/averoadvisors Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/averoadvisors Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/averoadvisors TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@averoadvisors YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@averoadvisors (865) 415-3848 | info@averoadvisors.com ©2024.
