Building Smarter, Faster Workflows in Government

You can only fix what you can see. For many public agencies, limited visibility across systems and processes is a persistent challenge. Manual workflows and scattered data make it difficult to manage risk, measure impact, or drive meaningful change.

The Procurement and Contracts department at the Teacher Retirement System of Texas (TRS) faced those same obstacles: disconnected systems, manual processes, and a lack of visibility—until the team adopted a purpose-built platform that could be fully configured to match their specific workflows, policies, and evolving needs.

Join Governing and LaTresa Stroud, Director of Procurement and Contracts at TRS, for an inside look at how her team led a multi-phase IT modernization effort. You’ll hear how they tackled operational challenges, built a culture of adaptability, and laid the groundwork for continuous improvement and more effective day-to-day operations.

In this live webinar, you’ll learn:

• The real-world challenges of moving from spreadsheets and silos to a centralized, fully integrated digital system—and how to manage the transition.
• How the TRS procurement team built agility into their operations, continuously improving their system through nine waves of system enhancements to eliminate bottlenecks and maintain compliance with changing policy and legislation.
• What to look for in a platform that adapts with you, not against you—plus practical tips to get buy-in and build momentum internally.
