Public Sector IT Modernization

Independent guidance for technology planning, procurement, and implementation oversight.

Engineering Solutions, Inc. (ESI) helps public agencies, higher education institutions, and regulated organizations modernize the systems that support finance, payroll, HR, procurement, eligibility, case management, licensing, reporting, and enterprise operations.

ESI works on the client side of modernization initiatives. We help agencies define what they need, prepare for procurement, support vendor selection, oversee implementation, and support readiness for go-live and stabilization.
