Cardinality - a Rising Star at SLEDIE 2024!

The excitement around innovation in government technology is palpable, and the 2024 SLEDIE Awards perfectly captured that spirit. Cardinality is proud to announce that we were recognized as a Rising Star, among the industry's most promising govtech players.

This distinction is of significance: Out of 900 SLED (State, Local & Education) IT providers in the US, Cardinality was acknowledged as one of 3 rising stars, along with 5 other Industry Leaders and a few other marketing campaigns. This adds to our fifth consecutive year on the Govtech 100 list by Government Technology and AWS State & Local Government Partner of the Year in 2022.

Cardinality isn't just another Government IT company. We care!

We are passionate about empowering government agencies with the tools they need to better serve their constituents. Our AI-powered solutions are made for the public sector, specifically the Health and Human Services.

“We are thrilled to announce the winners of the first annual SLEDIE Awards,” said Cathilea Robinett CEO of e.Republic. “These organizations are at the forefront of marketing and communication in the SLED sector and their efforts are setting the standard for excellence in the industry.”

Along with the executive leadership team present at the event, Thiag Loganathan, CEO of Cardinality, accepted the award on behalf of the organization.

“We are an innovative challenger to the status quo in SLED IT Implementations, with proof points. This recognition will allow for more GovTech disruptors to be aware of our pre-built solutions and purpose-built platform, to leverage modern technologies and AI to accelerate outcomes fast. Appreciate Dustin Haisler, Cathiliea Robinett, and e.Republic for this recognition. Their role in creating awareness of innovation in GovTech is much needed.”, expressed Thiag.

In attendance was Kevin Jones, Cardinality's COO, a GovTech 25 honoree, and NASCIO tech champion. An ex-CIO of the Indiana Department of Child Services, Kevin uses his public sector experience to help more government agencies succeed. For Kevin, the mission is personal.

"As a member of the vulnerable population growing up, and a leader who's gone through the challenges of these complex implementations, this is personal for me and most others in our team. We care! I appreciate the recognition, we're just getting started. We are going to change how technology is implemented in government."

Thiag and Kevin were also joined by Damon Haycock, Director of Business Development, and Joe Dapore, VP - Strategic Partnership & Programs, during this event.

2024 Market Update: Evolving Landscape of Public Sector Technology

According to eRepublic’s 2024 Beyond the Beltway Market and Tech Report, there are headwinds like a tightening labor market and expiring federal funds, tailwinds such as robust budgets, infrastructure spending, and innovative technologies like AI offer significant potential for growth.

The key “Big Picture” areas identified in the report and how we fit in well are as follows:

• Economic Stability: Low unemployment and inflation drive a robust public sector technology market. Cardinality leverages this by providing solutions for efficient resource allocation and maximizing tech impact.
• Workforce Challenges: Despite increased public sector employment, talent acquisition is a hurdle. Our portfolio includes automation, low-code platforms, and workforce augmentation tools to address this opportunity.
• AI Advancement: AI improves government applications, offering solutions for content creation and data analysis. We advocate for Responsible AI implementation, prioritizing transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations.
• Modernization Priority: Agencies focus on IT infrastructure modernization, creating opportunities for cloud, data management, and cybersecurity solutions. Cardinality's mission-focused solutions enable faster modernization, saving on repeated efforts and operational costs.
• Cloud Demand: As agencies shift to the cloud, there's a need for secure and scalable solutions. Cardinality stands out by delivering complete solutions that empower HHS missions, programs, people, and communities, avoiding the pitfalls of traditional integrators.
