Carahsoft | November 03, 2021
Carahsoft, The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, and Splashtop, a leader in next-generation remote access and remote support software, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Splashtop’s Master Government Aggregator®, making the company’s secure remote access and support solutions available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Cooperative Purchasing Alliance (NCPA) and OMNIA Partners contracts, as well as through Carahsoft’s reseller partners.
Splashtop’s secure and high-performance remote access and support solutions enable Federal, State, Local Government and Educational institutions to implement a productive, hybrid workplace to ensure continuity by being able to remotely carry on business as usual. Departments and agencies can accomplish their missions and serve their constituents from anywhere.
“While the pandemic forced Public Sector organizations and Educational institutions to quickly adapt to remote work environments, there is no going back. Remote or hybrid work is the new “de facto” operating model for Federal, State, Local and Educational organizations. Additionally, with the rise of ransomware and other malicious threats, Government needs a superior alternative to unreliable VPN / RDP solutions that pose security and privacy risks. As a result of our strategic partnership with Carahsoft, our secure, remote access and remote IT support solutions are now easily accessible to Public Sector and Education customers to enable secure work and school from anywhere.”
Justin Windsor, Splashtop’s Channel Chief for the Americas
Splashtop for Education enhances learning and helps students reach their full potential with access to the resources they need most through Splashtop’s remote access solutions. Students can use lab computers and licensed software from Adobe, Autodesk or other providers from their laptops, iPads, Chromebooks or additional devices, even after lab hours. IT teams can easily schedule remote lab access sessions for students to optimize the use of lab computers and expensive software licenses, as well as provide support to teachers and students who may not be off-site at other locations.
“We are thrilled to announce this partnership with Splashtop to deliver remote access and support software to our resellers and our Government and Education customers,” said Brandi Hiebert, Director of Sales who leads the Splashtop Team at Carahsoft. “The Public Sector now has access to secure cloud and on-premise remote access solutions, enabling work from anywhere.”

Deloitte | February 01, 2021
As the new Administration and statehouses the nation over work to handle key needs across the elements of wellbeing, financial recuperation, environment and racial imbalances, information and its powerful use through arising AI innovations will be key empowering influences.

Intended to quicken AI sending among public area associations, CortexAI for Government consolidates demonstrated government and industry solutions with AI models, apparatuses and specialized designs tailored to help public area missions with an emphasis on AI quality, review and morals.
"AI is more than technology. Through CortexAI for Government, we will help agency leaders and frontline public servants introduce new AI solutions and execute their organizations' missions more effectively and with reduced cost," said Ed Van Buren, principal with Deloitte Consulting LLP and leader of Deloitte's public sector AI practice. "We are also deeply committed to advancing the ethical use of AI so that its use in American government becomes a model for the commercial sector and the world."
Solutions built on CortexAI for Government already serving government clients
A few administrative organizations and state governments are now utilizing applications and solutions fueled by CortexAI for Government to drive their central goal, enable their workers, and better serve people in general. Quite, Deloitte's RegExplorer™, which utilizes AI to break down a huge number of guidelines, permits policymakers to rapidly recognize clashing or obsolete guidelines, improve and modernize guidelines, and empower significant change.
"When you are trying to comb through regs at different state agencies, it takes a long time," said Carrie Kuruc, director of Ohio's Common Sense Initiative, speaking about RegExplorer. "When you have tech that can do it quickly, you take it in a heartbeat."
Democratizing AI for wide government adoption and deployment
CortexAI for Government gives a blend of on-platform, mission-situated applications and solutions and in-platform models, instruments and curated informational collections.
