PRESS RELEASE

HERNDON, Va., Oct. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ — Avenu Insights & Analytics (Avenu) has named public sector expert Roger Murphy as director of the Information Technology (IT) Managed Services division.

As an IT executive, Murphy has responsibility for contributing to business development, delivering IT strategy, operations and achieving expected results for clients in state, county and city governments.

“Costs are often cited as a main reason that jurisdictions are behind the curve regarding their IT investments,” states Murphy. “But it doesn’t have to cost a lot to reach a high level of modernization, and Avenu has a deep history in achieving this with high-demand constituent applications and the human resources, finance and other administrative applications.”

Murphy joins Avenu at an opportune time when governments are moving more aggressively to the cloud for performance and optimization. The company leads these transformational efforts for clients along with driving workflows and processes, network and case management, and handling call centers and security.

Notes Avenu CEO Paul Colangelo, “state and local governments need to increase their level of IT innovation and use of data in order to serve their constituents. Roger has done this for multiple cities and counties and Avenu is well positioned to do more of this with his leadership.”
