The Client’s Problem:
The Department of Public Works (DPW) in a large state agency was struggling with an antiquated paper-based performance management system. The process was riddled with inefficiencies:
- Manual Data Entry: Time-consuming and error-prone data entry led to inaccuracies and delays.

These issues hampered employee morale, hindered talent development, and impeded the DPW’s ability to achieve its goals.
How We Solved Their Issue:
Our IT ERP implementation and professional services team partnered with the DPW to implement a modern Procurement of Performance Management and Appraisal System (PMAS). We employed a comprehensive approach:
- Needs Assessment: We conducted a thorough needs assessment to understand the DPW’s specific requirements and challenges.
- System Selection: We recommended and implemented a PMAS solution tailored to the DPW’s needs, considering budget, user-friendliness, and scalability.
- System Integration: We seamlessly integrated the PMAS with existing IT systems for data synchronization and streamlined workflows.
- Change Management: We provided comprehensive training and support to ensure user adoption and maximize the system’s benefits.
- Data Analysis and Reporting: We established key performance indicators (KPIs) and reporting dashboards to provide actionable insights.
The Results:
The implementation of the PMAS transformed the DPW’s performance management landscape:
- Increased Efficiency: Automated workflows and digital data entry slashed processing time by 50%.
- Standardized Evaluations: Predefined criteria and objective assessments ensured fairness and consistency.
