Transform your services with next-generation infrastructure.

Your agencies face unique challenges in modernizing and futureproofing your infrastructure. Let’s work together to build the resilient storage, robust networking, and reliable data recovery your employees and constituents need to thrive. Here are just a few ways we can help:

Protect against ever-evolving threats.

According to our latest public sector cybersecurity study, the growing complexity and sophistication of attacks are the public sector’s most critical cyber barrier, and the private nature of your data makes local governments particularly vulnerable. Our cybersecurity experts identify and close vulnerabilities in your security posture, building proactive processes to ensure you stay secure and compliant over the long run. We help you: Maintain NIST compliance: Stratascale, an SHI company, performs gap assessments to understand how you can better align with NIST standards. We swiftly act on any shortcomings and provide an end-to-end solution that keeps you compliant and eligible for federal funding. Install and configure firewalls: We provide full professional services to help implement core firewalls within your agencies. Our services include rack and stack configuration, policy creation, subscription adoption, and more. Perform security trainings: Our Training and Adoption team offers custom trainings for a wide selection of security OEMs. We also offer credits for OEM-led trainings. The best way to get started is with our security posture review, which gives an all-encompassing look at your city’s network security – and how you can improve it.

Collaborate with adaptable, modern devices.

With our value-added Device as a Service (DaaS) solution, you can equip your teams with the exact devices they need while maintaining seamless user and management experiences – even if you have multiple OSs and OEMs.

Optimize procurement with state and federal contracts.

Your agencies all have their own services, needs, use cases, and challenges, often making IT procurement an unnecessary headache. As your dedicated public sector partner, we streamline the process and help your agencies get the IT hardware and software they need. We hold national and state contracts applicable to nearly every aspect of IT. Whether you’re overhauling your network architecture, bolstering your cyber defenses, or building a new device fleet, our contracts ensure you reduce costs, enhance efficiency, and simplify management across every purchase. Not sure which contract vehicle is right for you? Our experts can help identify which options best fit your agencies’ needs.
