ANCHORAGE, ALASKA / ACCESS Newswire / January 22, 2025 / Arctic IT, a Doyon Technology Group company, has been awarded a $31 million modernization contract by the Navajo Nation, the largest Native sovereign government in the United States. Partnering with subcontractors Dayforce, AXL Global, and The Performa Group, Arctic IT will implement a transformative technology package designed to modernize the Nation’s operations and enhance efficiency.
The initiative includes a cutting-edge Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that features Microsoft Dynamics 365 Finance and Tribal Platforms®, a proprietary application developed by Arctic IT specifically for tribal organizations. This robust solution will centralize data, reduce paperwork, and streamline critical operations across finance, human resources, and tribal citizen management. The entire system is built on the secure, Microsoft Government Cloud platform to provide world-leading cyber security and ensure the Navajo Nation’s data sovereignty is protected.
“This is a historic moment for the Navajo Nation and Indian Country,” said Navajo Nation President Buu Nygren. “To meet the demands of a global world, our government must embrace modern technology to improve efficiency, transparency, and effectiveness.”
“We are deeply honored that the Navajo Nation has entrusted us to support their vision of modernization, “said Tom Mercer, President of Arctic IT. “This project is more than just a partnership – it’s an opportunity to make a meaningful impact that will benefit the Navajo People for years to come.”
The modernization project incorporates advanced solutions from Arctic IT’s partners:
Dayforce: The Dayforce™ award-winning cloud Human Capital Management (HCM) platform plays a pivotal role in the project.
