"Transforming Government through Technology"

The US Federal Government is the largest Information Technology (IT) customer in the world. In Fiscal Year 2007, ending September 2007, the Federal Government will have spent approximately $66.7 Billion. With an average growth rate of 5.6%, it is estimated that by FY2010 the US Federal IT spending will exceed $78B.

The State and Local Governments in the USA combined spent approximately $42.5 Billion in FY 2007. With a much more aggressive growth rate of 12% annually, this group will exceed $59B by FY2010.

State and local markets will grow at a rate more than twice that of the Federal Government. Some important initiatives driving this growth include authentication, security and e-Government initiatives. The trend toward aggressive e-Government initiatives that cost-effectively improve Government to citizen transactions along with authentication requirement for Transportation workers, First responders and eventually all citizens through the REAL-ID act.

We expect GSAdvisors and our client-partners to grow steadily for many years. The market is large and many micro-segments exist that many commercial companies have overlooked because of the complex sales cycles that exist.

The Public Sector markets have several barriers that hinder emerging companies to succeed. They include relationship, contract vehicle and incumbency risks. However, overcoming these barriers is a key competency of GSAdvisors’ team. It is our belief that we can help our client-partners save money and increase productivity by leveraging this knowledge.
