Services
BHA, a division of SIG, offers its clients a wide range of services – but with a unique approach. Our practice is centered on leveraging all available resources to ensure engagements succeed in meeting our clients’ goals. For example, when assisting with an ERP implementation, our clients not only benefit from expert project management services but also from an array of technical and functional training. These include critical areas such as data governance, change management, documentation, and team building.
Additionally, our consultants are carefully selected and trained to bring empathy and understanding to their roles, recognizing the challenges users may face. Beyond general support, BHA fosters innovation adoption by employing consultants who have firsthand experience in roles such as Registrar, Financial Aid Director, Human Resource and Payroll Director, and Bursar.
To address particularly complex tasks requiring expertise and deep product knowledge, we also provide comprehensive staff augmentation services. With a commitment to aligning technical solutions with institutional goals, BHA, a division of SIG, delivers meaningful results and supports the success of every project we undertake.

Information Security and CISO Services
Each day a college or university is hit with a ransomware attack, an attempted information breach by foreign entities, or a major intrusion through social engineering. The risk is overwhelming and can cause any institution to shut down for a considerable period, lose student data, and/or open financial accounts for theft of identity and the like. Frankly, this should be at the top of every institution’s priority.
The Graham Leach Bliley legislation was enacted to ensure that individuals were protected against identity theft and unauthorized access to personal and financial information. The GLBA impacts every institution that accepts financial aid. Noncompliance with the act could shut down an institution completely by the Department of Education thereby denying financial aid. BHA provides support to institutions needing to comply with the GLBA, thereby protecting the institution from loss of revenue. Our program is thorough, provides ongoing monitoring, and assurance to the institution that all requirements are being met.
Staff Augmentation
Often colleges and universities are confronted with the need to either replace a critical staff member, supplement skillsets for its existing staff, or introduce short-term leadership to assist with a major change.

- Leading change projects as a Chief Information Technology Officer or replacing a temporary vacancy for the CIO after resignation or retirement
