    City of Aurora, Illinois | How the Crowe Government Guide is helping one city become a beacon for transformative modernization projects.

    Michael Pegues, the chief information officer (CIO) of the city of Aurora, the
    second largest city in Illinois, has been moving at lightning speed to modernize
    city services. The work he, his team, and Aurora’s officials have done has been
    featured nationally as an example of how a city can implement a successful
    digital transformation strategy across multiple agencies through smart city
    strategies to improve the lives of citizens.

    Crowe has been fortunate to serve as Michael’s and the city’s strategic adviser
    for over five years on various IT modernization initiatives. Crowe developed the
    city’s first-ever strategic technology plan, and it has led the implementation of
    new technologies across city departments and provided strategy to help the city
    with its transparency open data policy and program rollout. More recently, the
    Crowe Government Guide has helped to pilot project management as a service
    (PM as a service) across the city to scale up its ability to deliver IT services
    supporting departments’ needs for new software.
