Challenge

HCTRA’s infrastructure required an upgrade to provide consistent uptime and performance, including staying up to date with PCI requirements, strengthening security posture, and implementing an IT strategy aligned with business objectives. Additionally, an outsourced license plate image review function needed to be brought in-house for added cost savings.

Results

As a governmental entity, HCTRA has a fiduciary responsibility to provide the best services possible to tax-paying constituents. BDO plays a key role in bringing innovative solutions to lower costs, reduce errors, and help minimize the carbon footprint.
