Head Start Enterprise System (HSES)

Supporting Head Start programs takes reliable information, coordinated decisions, and systems that help people do their work. The Office of Head Start (OHS) relies on the Head Start Enterprise System (HSES) to oversee grant recipient organizations and program operations nationwide. But aging technology, complicated workflows, and usability barriers made it harder for users to access, manage, and report the information central to that work. Behind the scenes, outdated frameworks added security risks and maintenance demands. OHS needed to strengthen the platform while keeping essential operations moving. Working as part of an integrated delivery team, Systone helped modernize HSES through coordinated improvements to its technology, user experience, accessibility, and ongoing support.
