Technology vendors offer a variety of cutting edge solutions to meet an array of government requirements -- for healthcare, network security, welfare and child support, emergency response systems and many more. But behind the scenes, agency business managers often don't realize that Microsoft Corp. technology provides the reliable, cost-effective platform on which these vital solutions reside.

"Microsoft works with thousands of partners around the country, building a variety of systems," said Jeff Tozzi, Microsoft state and local government solution sales manager. "We're working with them to make sure they develop solutions that are the most efficient, cost effective and easiest to deploy, using best-in-class tools. The value to government is that in many cases, they can begin deploying solutions using technology they already own."
Given the tremendous financial constraints facing federal, state and local government agencies today, Microsoft is working to identify practical and affordable solutions for a variety of scenarios.

"One of our goals is to make sure government agencies can leverage efficient solutions that are fast to develop and fast to deploy -- at a much lower cost than mainframe-based systems," Tozzi explained. "What we're seeing is that customers can deploy these solutions using their existing investments in Microsoft technology."

Focusing on meeting specific government requirements, Microsoft and its immense partner base invest heavily in research and development. These efforts, combined with the subject-matter expertise of its partner ecosystem -- in tax, defense, healthcare, intelligence, justice, transportation and other key areas -- produce innovative solutions that customer scan deploy in a fraction of the time and expense of either custom, in-house solutions, or those built on legacy and mainframe systems.
