Since 1996, our groundbreaking technology studio has had the privilege to collaborate, problem-solve, and innovate with all levels of government agencies. We know first-hand the unique challenges the government market faces. Where others see roadblocks, we see an opportunity to craft the most efficient, cost-effective business solutions in the industry. Fifty percent of our clients come from the government sector.

Our savvy and talented professional team consistently delivers solutions that meet the highest standards of quality required at the local, municipal, county, state, and federal levels. Looking for that competitive advantage? Our new technologies and digital expertise can add a fresh, bold edge to ongoing or new projects within your agency.

Our professionals have exceptional depth and experience when it comes to helping government agencies implement technologies into their business flow. Whether its interoperability, IT/networking services, integration and data sharing, or going from a paper-to-paperless environment, we will deliver the best architecture, design, and software to move your agency forward.

One of our main objectives in developing strong relationships with government clients is increasing our accessibility as a service provider. We are accomplishing this more and more by bidding on and winning statewide and federal blanket contracts. Blankets allow prime contractors to directly access service providers without having to write and send out their own Request for Proposal (RFP).

If you have an IT need and don’t want to spend time and money creating an RFP, ask us how blankets can work for you.

The next time you bid on a municipal, county or state contract in the Commonwealth, call us to be your technical or creative AMP partner. We’re seriously innovative, have high standards, crazy technology depth and SOMWBA certifications in both WBE and DBE. We also write and deliver government contracts so it’s always a smooth collaboration.
