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.

Procurement Politics: How to Keep Vendor Selection Fair & Focused
Procurement isn’t just paperwork—it’s politics. And if you don’t manage it strategically, your entire ERP project could be compromised.
In this episode of Untangled, the Avero team digs into the behind-the-scenes dynamics that shape fair vendor selection—and what public agencies can do to stay above reproach.
You’ll learn:
- How to avoid RFP language that favors one vendor
- Why Phase 0 discovery builds better, more neutral requirements
- What it really means to be vendor agnostic (and how to spot red flags)
- How to balance department priorities without leaving anyone behind
- Why good procurement protects not just your project—but your credibility
This conversation is especially for public-sector leaders involved in ERP selection, IT planning, and digital transformation.
