Lessons From the Field
In our work with the Arizona Department of Education, Mainstream leveraged valuable insight into what makes complex technology projects succeed. This one-sheeter shares practical lessons on project timelines, budget phasing, team capacity, change management and realistic planning — and how those lessons shape the way we guide clients through high-stakes modernization efforts.
Funding Your Modernization Project
For many agencies, funding is one of the biggest barriers to modernization. Leaders often know the system they need, but not where to find the dollars to support it. This one-sheeter shares five strategic considerations for pursuing grant funding for custom software initiatives, including how to phase projects, align needs with broader goals and treat funding as part of the modernization strategy.
From Data to Decisions to Transformation
Artificial intelligence delivers value only when an organization’s data, systems and workflows are ready for it. This guide outlines how agencies can mature their use of AI over time — moving from insight and prediction to decision support, operational execution and long-term transformation.
