What kind of software do you build for the public sector?

Municipal management systems for permits, case files and services, digital service portals and apps, and the modernization of systems already in use. We work with government agencies and the GovTech companies that supply their technology.

Do you have public sector experience?

Yes. We designed the technical roadmap to modernize SIGeMi, Jotafí's municipal management system: architecture, technologies and a gradual migration, with AI as an accelerator. We also built the AI Opportunity Map for the time and attendance team at APESAU, Argentina's state advertising agency.

Software development for the public sector and GovTech

Q: Do we have to rebuild our current system from scratch?

Not necessarily. We lay out a path to update the technology and the experience while keeping the logic that already works, with the new and current systems running side by side during the migration.

Q: How do you use AI in modernization projects?

To analyze legacy systems, document them and speed up the migration, with technical oversight at every step.

We build and modernize systems for government agencies and for the GovTech companies that supply their technology: municipal management, digital public services and platforms that need to last for years.

What the public sector needs from software today

Latin America has more than 18,000 local and regional governments, and each one needs systems to manage paperwork, fees, case files and services. Many of those systems were built years ago and hold business logic that can't be lost.

The challenge is modernizing them without disrupting operations: improving the experience for residents and staff, updating the technology and digitizing procedures that still happen at a counter, on budgets and timelines that rule out rewriting everything from scratch.

Jotafí

We were very pleased with the consulting engagement. The report was extremely thorough, both technically and in terms of process. The presentation was excellent too: their technical expertise really showed, and their conclusions were spot on and exactly what we expected. We are very satisfied with how this first engagement turned out, and we will certainly bring them back in the future.
