HSO is headed to Tallahassee for the Florida Digital Government Summit—and we’re bringing Microsoft and Provance with us! On July 16, we’ll be at the center of conversations about the future of government technology in Florida.
Stop by our table and hear how departments and agencies across the state are transforming operations, improving service delivery, and driving innovation with the Microsoft platform.

HSO helps government agencies modernize the way they work. As a top Microsoft partner, we specialize in bringing together Dynamics 365, Power Platform, Azure, and Microsoft 365 to solve real-world challenges—from replacing outdated systems to building more responsive, citizen-centered services.
We understand the pressures public sector organizations face to do more with less, and we’re here to help you make the most of your resources—securely, efficiently, and at scale.
Why Stop By Our Table?
Whether you’re just starting your modernization journey or looking to take your digital services to the next level, we’ll show you what’s possible with Microsoft and HSO.
Let’s talk about how to:
- Replace legacy systems with agile, scalable Microsoft solutions
- Improve citizen experiences with streamlined, data-driven tools
- Integrate IT service management with Provance’s native Power Platform solution
- Strengthen cybersecurity and compliance with Microsoft Azure
We look forward to seeing you in Tallahassee!
