Software, data and AI for public agencies in Colombia
BPD builds custom software, organizes and analyzes data, and automates processes with AI for public agencies in Colombia. We work in phases with fixed scope and fixed price, and we leave your civil servants able to run what was built.
What we see in the public sector
Public agencies have valuable data spread across systems that don't talk to each other, and they often end up depending on the contractor that installed their technology.
- Information scattered across systems.
- Slow procedures for citizens.
- Technology projects that leave the agency dependent on the contractor.
- Obligations to handle data responsibly.
- Government buys technology it can't operate afterward. Many public projects end up tied to a vendor or a platform, with no in-house capability at the agency.
- Legacy systems that slow operations down, and tools that don't talk to each other.
- Digital government rules that ask agencies to make data-driven decisions, interoperate and protect information, such as Decree 767 of 2022, Colombia's Digital Government Policy.
How BPD works with public agencies
BPD works in phases with defined scope and price, starts from the data the agency already has, sets clear rules for how it's used and leaves civil servants able to run what was built. No manufacturers to favor, and every result measured.
Phases with fixed scope and fixed price
We start with a short assessment. Each phase delivers something that works and brings the proposal for the next one, or an honest recommendation to stop.
Data first
Before talking technology, we review the data the agency has or generates and agree on which management goal needs to move. What we build is designed around the data it will produce.
Baseline and measurement
We measure the starting point before building and the result at the close of each phase. That gives your agency what it needs for accountability.
No manufacturers to favor
We don't resell licenses. We choose technology with explicit criteria: what the agency already pays for, what its team knows how to use, data volume, three-year cost and security requirements. Where possible, we prefer portable tools and open formats, in line with the promotion of free and open-source software in Colombia's Law 1955 of 2019 (article 147).
The agency owns the software
Under Colombian law (Law 1450 of 2011, article 28), the economic rights to a work created on commission are presumed to transfer to the party that commissioned it, unless agreed otherwise. We propose putting that transfer in writing in the contract, with its term and territory, and handing over the source code with its documentation.
Handover and training in every delivery
Documentation written for whoever will maintain what was built, and handover sessions with your civil servants. Monthly operations is an option, not an obligation.
A senior team that stays
One senior lead per agency, and a team that's introduced before signing and works through to the end. The people on our team have prior experience in the public sector.
What we build
The lines connect: a data assessment surfaces procedures to automate, and an automation needs software to run on.
Custom software
Core operational systems for processes that no product on the market covers well. We build in phases, with acceptance criteria agreed with the area that will use them and automated tests. If a product on the market already solves it better, we tell you.
Legacy system modernization
We migrate a legacy system piece by piece, without shutting down the agency's operations.
Digital procedures
We digitize and automate procedures so citizens can complete them online, as Colombia's Law 2052 of 2020 requires for new procedures.
Data and management dashboards
Data assessment, metrics with a single definition and role-based dashboards, so the agency can make data-driven decisions, one of the lines of action in Decree 767 of 2022.
AI with rules for its use
We automate repetitive processes with AI and measure how often each automation gets it right, using an evaluation set built from real cases. We don't automate sensitive decisions without human oversight.
Data and AI governance
Who owns each piece of data, which personal and sensitive data the agency handles, and which AI tools are allowed with what information. We turn that into policies, put it into the systems and measure compliance.
Integrations and interoperability
We connect the agency's systems through APIs so data flows without manual work.
Accessibility
The portals and online service sites we build are delivered meeting WCAG 2.1 level AA, the standard required by Annex 1 of Resolution 1519 of 2020 from MinTIC, Colombia's ministry of information technology.
Information security
We work within the Information Security and Privacy Model (MSPI) your agency adopts under MinTIC Resolution 500 of 2021, updated by Resolution 02277 of 2025.
Personal data protection
When we process citizens' data on your agency's behalf, we act as data processor (encargado del tratamiento), with the duties set out in article 18 of Law 1581 of 2012, Colombia's data protection law. Your agency's data is processed in Colombia.
Training for civil servants
Role-based programs with your agency's own cases and tools, and measurement of actual use after the program.
Technical capacity for a project
Data, AI, software, QA and infrastructure profiles, vetted by a senior specialist in each field, working under the agency's direction.
How your agency can hire us
Through public procurement, with formal requirements, long timelines and proposal evaluation. Phased offers with fixed scope and fixed price fit that way of buying.
The offer is submitted in the format and with the requirements of the process, keeping the phased approach with defined deliverables.
BPD is registered in Colombia's Single Bidders Registry (RUP, Registro Único de Proponentes) through BPD ANALYTICS SAS, its Colombian company. Colombian law requires the RUP for competitive selection processes. In direct contracting and minimum-value processes, the agency checks the requirements itself.
BPD is a Colombian MSME (micro, small or medium-sized business), and Decree 1082 of 2015 provides for procurement processes limited to MSMEs when their requirements are met.
Start with an assessment
A short assessment with fixed scope and fixed price, useful to your agency even if it doesn't continue with BPD.
