Our Services

We don’t just open doors. We open the right doors and lead you through them. Instead of just landing meetings, we focus on building long-term relationships.

We provide the strategic approach needed for your specific goals, expertly connecting your innovative IT solutions with key government decision-makers.

Our team of experienced former government technology leaders brings decades of collective experience in state government. This invaluable blend of established relationship-building and cutting-edge technology expertise makes KWR Strategies indispensable to clients on both sides of the IT acquisition process, ensuring that state-level decision-makers find the vendors uniquely suited to solve their IT challenges. We serve as the consistent common thread throughout the deal, building crucial connections that lead to impactful outcomes.

KWR Strategies brings years of experience in building relationships and forging strategic bonds between IT leaders, helping to navigate the maze of requirements and processes necessary for successful ideas and efficient and cost-effective solutions. After serving for five years as Texas' Chief Information Officer, Karen appreciates the specific challenges of the public sectors and knows how to foster effective partnerships with private sector providers.

With a tested and successful approach, KWR simplifies the process for each client, with each step through concept, implementation and execution building on the others. This guided and nurturing approach produces results - it is not merely theory.

Productive use of resources is critical. A thorough analysis of each client’s goals encourages focus, promotes efficiency, and emphasizes results. Crystalizing these goals also fosters trust – and sidesteps pitfalls that waste time and resources.

KWR’s success in the public sector has provided the basis for building collaborative relationships that best serve the needs of our clients. An insightful understanding of our clients and their needs allows KWR to identify optimal partner relationships to fulfill the client’s requirements. KWR excels in fostering cooperative and transparent dialogue – increasing the exchange of information and the critical assessments necessary to efficiently craft a solution and execute on it.

But a plan is only as good as its execution – and KWR excels at execution.
