Our intent was to craft a methodology that was both innovative and intuitive, setting Texas DPS on a trajectory of streamlined operations and enhanced IT alignment.
Training & Mentorship: Recognizing the vital role of the practitioners in executing this new EA vision, our mandate extended to providing comprehensive training. Beyond imparting knowledge, our focus was on mentoring these professionals, ensuring they were adeptly equipped to navigate the intricacies of the new EA approach.
