Making IT happen

The start of a new year is always a busy time in the public sector. As agencies reset their budgets and shuffle their priorities, now is the time to take a step back and ensure your products are getting into the hands of government buyers. Right now, we’re seeing a massive push toward Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) solutions. Policy mandates are encouraging federal agencies to cut costs by moving away from "custom everything" and toward proven, commercial software and cloud offerings. If you’re selling commercial tech, the window of opportunity is wide open.
Greetings from snowy Syracuse, NY! Yes, it’s cold. Yes, the snow is sticking. And yes, somewhere between the last meeting on the calendar and the last gift on the to-do list, we all collectively realized that 2025 is wrapping up. As we are busy tying bows, setting out cookies, and convincing ourselves we are “almost done” for the year, the SLED team here at Four Inc. wanted to take a moment to pause and say thank you. The holidays are a natural time for reflection, and looking back on 2025, one thing stands out clearly. We are incredibly grateful.
