Introduction:

From internal approvals to unclear vendor timelines, many government IT projects stall out before they start. That’s not just frustrating—it’s costly. Delays don’t just waste time; they erode public trust and hold up critical services your community depends on.

The Problem:

A 2022 report by the Center for Digital Government found that 62% of state and local agencies cite delayed procurement and vendor coordination as top contributors to IT project failures (Center for Digital Government, 2022).

Common roadblocks include:

• Endless RFP cycles
  
• Siloed stakeholders
  
• Vendors passing the buck
  

The Cost:

• Loss of momentum and leadership confidence
  
• Wasted staff time managing conflicting timelines
  
• Delayed impact on critical community-facing services

The Solution:

First Response IT acts as a project coordinator and strategic advisor, aligning all moving parts and ensuring execution happens. We speak both vendor and government fluently—translating technical requirements into real outcomes.

What we bring to the table:

• Pre-vetted vendors and deployment teams
  
• Timeline accountability and regular milestone reporting
  
• One consistent point of contact from kickoff to go-live
