Starbridge brought together the public- and private-sector leaders figuring out what AI actually does for government. KCT came to talk about the layer underneath it — the ERP, the close cycle, the billing run. AI on top of a system nobody trusts just produces wrong answers faster. Two of us are on the floor and happy to talk through whatever is stuck on your side.
Each of them can make decisions about scope and timing on the spot. Reach any of them directly — before the event, during it, or after you're back at your desk.
Chief Executive Officer
Bhushan leads KCT. When an engagement needs top cover, he is on the call — not a delegate. At BRIDGES he is here for the conversations about where AI actually belongs in a public-sector back office, and where it quietly makes a fragile ERP worse.
Client Relationships Director
Chris is the person you reach first at KCT, and the one who stays with your account afterward. Give him ten minutes on the expo floor with what is actually stuck — a close cycle that keeps slipping, a rebill queue nobody has time for — and you will leave with a straight read on whether we can help.
Functional Lead Advisor – HCM
Martie leads KCT's HCM work — payroll, HR, time, and benefits. Grab Martie at BRIDGES if your people systems are the part that's misfiring: a payroll run that needs babysitting every cycle, or an HCM go-live that never fully settled.
Six practices covering the whole arc — choosing a system, implementing it, recovering one that stalled, and keeping a live one healthy. Each card opens the full page for that practice.
Senior, vendor-neutral selection advisory across the platforms public-sector buyers actually shortlist — aligning your strategic goals with the platform that fits today and adapts tomorrow.
Senior, vendor-neutral implementation leadership — the modern ERP platforms public-sector buyers shortlist. We govern scope, vendor, data, and go-live on your side of the table, on time and on budget.
When the implementation has gone off the rails — or the close cycle never recovered post-go-live. We triage fast, fix what's actually broken, get the operating rhythm back, and hand it over running.
Modernize the work around ERP, utility billing, finance, HCM, and reporting — data cleanup, custom reporting, advanced integrations, and AI-enabled automation that move teams from manual recovery to repeatable operations.
Senior program management, business process consulting, organizational change management, and vendor or contract management — the leadership capacity to run the program, fix the processes, and hold vendors accountable.
Senior ERP capacity, without the headcount. Patch & release management, end-to-end monitoring, and a responsive service desk. We stay as long as you want us, and you're never stuck with us.
Real public-sector ERP work — what we walked into, what we did, and where it stands now. The kind of engagement worth ten minutes on the expo floor.
A stalled multi-module replacement, taken over and fully led — Finance, HCM, and EPL live, with EAM and utility billing in flight.
A utility-billing implementation recovered and a troubled HCM/payroll go-live resolved after the town switched firms to KCT.
An embedded partner for live Finance and HCM — steady-state support and enhancement, with utility billing and EPL now in progress.

A five-minute self-assessment that scores your ERP across close cycle, reconciliation, reporting, and integrations. Instant results, no email gate.
