Untangled
State and local governments provide vital services to their citizens and keep them safe. They are also one of the largest employers in the country. They employ about 14 million people in the US, not including public schools and hospitals. However, they’re also wrought with antiquated systems, broken processes, paperwork overwhelm, lack of transparency, and underutilization of intelligent technologies.
If you are a municipal leader, everyday citizen, or work for a state or local government across the US, you’ve come to the right place! Welcome to Untangled, a podcast for municipal leaders, IT managers, CIOs, and city or county council members that focuses on trends in government IT and its current best practices and challenges. Hosted by Abhijit Verekar, the show features special guests from various municipal agencies across the US, team members at Avèro Advisors, and other experienced professionals in the field to share their insights on how to untangle problems and make the Government more innovative and more efficient.

Beyond the Bid: What the UK’s £144M ERP Deal Teaches Us About Transformation
When the UK government awarded a £144 million contract to Workday and Cognizant, it wasn’t just about technology—it was a masterclass in scale, procurement efficiency, and what it takes to modernize across multiple agencies.
In this episode of Untangled, Avero Advisors CEO Abhijit Verekar (AV) breaks down one of the largest ERP initiatives in UK public sector history—what it means for global GovTech, and what U.S. leaders can learn from their approach.
AV explores:
- How the UK leveraged G-Cloud to simplify procurement
- Why standardization still requires flexible architecture
- The hidden risks of legacy system integration
- What success really means in a 10-year SaaS contract
- The irreplaceable role of change management and user adoption
Whether you're navigating procurement, prepping for go-live, or rethinking your data strategy—this conversation will help you reframe ERP not as a software decision, but as a people-first transformation strategy.
