Acumen Solutions, a leading business and technology consulting firm with offices across the U.S. and in Europe, today announced the launch of a dedicated Public Sector Cloud Computing Practice to offer customized Software as a Service (SaaS) solutions to meet the requirements of government agencies.
Having won salesforce.com engagements at six federal agencies, Acumen Solutions also brings experience with Google Enterprise solutions, Workday and other cloud computing offerings to the enterprise arsenal. Acumen Solutions is unique in helping clients manage their costs and reduce their maintenance by selecting and integrating the best of breed software as a service (SaaS) offerings from a variety of vendors.
"Government, like business everywhere, is embracing cloud computing," said Daniel Burton, Senior Vice President of Global Public Policy for salesforce.com. "Salesforce.com is pleased to be leading the way. Acumen Solutions is one of our foremost systems integrators specializing in cloud computing solutions for the government. As a leading consulting partner, they are blazing the trail for excellence in how government agencies leverage the cloud for more responsive constituent service, more innovative solutions and more cost-effective applications."
What is cloud computing?
As opposed to on-premise software that requires significant upfront license costs and maintenance, as well as hosting behind an organization's firewall, true cloud computing leverages web-based applications for an organization's specific purpose. For example, an agency can quickly launch a constituent tracking system on Salesforce.com in a matter of weeks rather than months.
With the new Administration's focus on efficiency through the use of advanced technology, Acumen Solutions believes there has never been a better time for reinventing government in the cloud, enabling government agencies to say 'Yes, we can' to the rapid deployment of cost-cutting, productivity-enhancing, and transparent applications. Acumen Solutions is the first consulting firm to provide a broad set of cloud computing solutions complete with strategy, business processes, as well as systems integration and customization. Our client engagements have enabled: agency collaboration with tools such as Google Apps; mobile workers with Salesforce.com to iPhone communications and more innovative recruiting strategy via integration with social networks such as Facebook.
The dedicated Public Sector Cloud Computing Practice has developed methodologies that make rapid integration of SaaS possible while satisfying stringent privacy, security, disaster recovery and data center requirements for government agencies. Acumen Solutions is assisting public sector customers with SaaS solutions that include financial management, case management, project management, customer relationship management, grants management, contact center automation, Web 2.0 and social networking.
"With 150 enterprise-class cloud computing projects completed at our firm including engagements leveraging salesforce.com's CRM applications and Force.com platform, Google Enterprise, Workday and other cloud offerings, we can ensure rapid development of solutions that meet the need of government agencies in record time," explained Jay Tansing, Managing Director, Public Sector Practice, Acumen Solutions, Inc. "We are seeing government agencies adopt SaaS solutions for mission critical applications similar to how their Fortune 500 peers have been leveraging and gaining benefits from SaaS for the past several years."
