The Commonwealth of Massachusetts

Overview

The General Court of Massachusetts is the State Legislature of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and has been making laws for its constituents since 1630. When the Massachusetts Legislature needed a consulting firm with expertise in transforming organizations through the intelligent application of technology and design, it turned to Tallan. Tallan delivered three major applications for Massachusetts: The Legislative Automated Workflow System (LAWS), the Public Site, and the Ways and Means Budget system for the Senate and House. Each of the three components of this suite addresses a unique area of the legislature, yet as a whole, are seamlessly integrated to provide a flexible, cohesive, and maintainable legislative enterprise platform.
