Administration, Finance, and Human Resources

Leverage experience for smarter government operations—and enhanced performance

Administration, finance, payroll, budgeting, and human resources organizations support the internal operations of state and provincial government agencies through sound workforce management, financial management, and accountability.

BerryDunn takes a collaborative, holistic approach to analyzing the people, processes, and technology as these agencies look to upgrade or implement enterprise software solutions and improve surrounding business processes and operations. Our government experts use professional standards and best practices to provide the following services:

• System replacement feasibility and Return on Investment (ROI) research and studies—Conduct studies to determine the client’s current state, desired future state, and the gaps between. Determine what enterprise software systems are available to fill the gaps and the expected cost and viability of the available options.
• System implementation planning and project management services—Establish implementation teams, document project timelines, identify required resources, and define plans to roll out both technology and operational changes. We also hold technology vendors accountable to their contracts—and to the implementation plan—to keep your projects on schedule, on budget, and within scope. 
• System implementation oversight—Provide quality management, Independent Verification and Validation, project health checks, and project audit services that help ensure the quality of IT software investments and implementation processes to ensure they meet client needs. BerryDunn does not sell or produce software, and maintains no industry alliances. Our independence ensures our recommendations are always in our clients’ best interests.
• Business process analysis, improvement, and implementation—Work collaboratively to improve human resources, payroll, budgeting, finance, administration, and accounting business processes. Review processes, determine optimal workflows that enable you to optimize your services, implement those processes, and measure their effectiveness.
• Business information system resiliency—Examine incident response and disaster recovery strategies for gaps to build resilient information systems and strengthen organization-wide response to cyber threats with vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and cybersecurity capability maturity modeling. We offer a range of services to help you comply with the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS).
• Information security and systems consulting—Mitigate the risk of a breach with vulnerability scanning, penetration testing, and cybersecurity capability maturity modeling.
