Government Digital Transformation: From Legacy to Leading-Edge

How we modernized a state DMV's legacy systems to deliver 99.9% uptime, 60% faster processing times, and 90% citizen satisfaction while ensuring federal security compliance.

Project Overview
Industry: Public Sector
Location: Sacramento, California
Duration: 24 months
Team: 15 specialists

$6M

Annual operational savings

The Challenge

The state DMV was struggling with outdated systems that couldn't meet the needs of modern citizens or federal compliance requirements.

Legacy System Dependencies
Critical services running on 20+ year old mainframe systems with limited documentation

Impact: System outages affecting 2.5M citizens, $50K daily operational costs

Manual Paper-Based Processes
80% of citizen interactions required in-person visits with paper forms

Impact: Average 3-hour wait times, 40% citizen satisfaction rating

Data Silos and Inconsistency
15 separate databases with no integration, leading to data inconsistencies

Impact: Duplicate records, manual data reconciliation taking 200+ hours weekly

Security and Compliance Gaps
Outdated security protocols not meeting federal compliance requirements

Impact: Failed security audits, potential data breach vulnerabilities
