AI is changing how schools use student data—moving from static records to actionable insights that guide success.
In this episode of the GovTech podcast, Abhijit Verekar and Dustin Bainbridge—founder of Horizon Education and Unified Track and a leading voice in EdTech—explore how AI can:

©2024. Avero Advisors. All Rights Reserved.15 min - Government ERP: Atlanta’s Success vs. San Francisco’s $55M Disaster
Not all government ERP projects end the same way.
Atlanta modernized successfully—engaging stakeholders, cleaning up data, and standardizing processes before going live. The results: smoother payroll, reduced costs, and sustainable upgrades.
San Francisco, on the other hand, spent $55 million on a payroll system that left teachers unpaid and trust eroded. The difference came down to leadership discipline, governance, and following proven best practices.
In this episode of the GovTech podcast, we break down why Atlanta succeeded and San Francisco failed—and what every government leader can learn from both.

©2024. Avero Advisors. All Rights Reserved.14 min - Software Contracts: How to Negotiate With Confidence and Clarity
Once you sign a software contract, your leverage is gone.
In this GovTech episode, Megan and Billie break down what public-sector teams must understand before finalizing a software agreement—especially when implementation timelines, payment terms, and post-go-live support are on the line.
You’ll learn:
- Why you should define “go-live” and every major term before you sign
- What a milestone-based payment plan looks like in practice
- Why multiple vendors under one umbrella contract can get complicated—fast
- What post–go-live support should include (and why it belongs in your contract)
- Who should be at the table—and why procurement alone isn’t enough
- How to press pause without derailing progress when vendors apply pressure
It’s not about being difficult. It’s about protecting your people, your dollars, and your delivery.

An ERP contract isn’t just paperwork—it’s your leverage, timeline, and future wrapped into one document.
In this GovTech episode, Megan sits down with Avero Project Manager Billie to unpack everything public-sector leaders need to consider before signing an ERP implementation contract. From vendor pressure to hidden risks, they share firsthand insights on what makes or breaks a successful negotiation.
You’ll learn:
- Why your leverage disappears the moment you sign
- How Phase 0 and a solid needs assessment protect your position
- What “go-live” actually means—and how to define it up front
- What to do when vendors apply deadline pressure
- Why line-by-line review and legal counsel are non-negotiable
- How to structure payment terms and milestones around your internal needs
