Pittsburgh-based IT firm part of exclusive list of IT consulting vendors

Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) April 19, 2010

KIT Solutions, LLC, a Pittsburgh-based provider of real-time, data-driven decision support services for health and human services organizations, was recently selected as a pre-qualified Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) state term contract vendor. As a term contract vendor, KIT Solutions is a preferred vendor that may provide information technology (IT) consulting services to any government agency in Florida as part of a centralized, streamlined procurement process.

The Florida DMS provides quality products and services to all levels of government to better serve the citizens of Florida.

Under the three-year contract, which expires in 2012, KIT is qualified to provide consulting services to state agencies in four areas:
Analysis and Design: Encompasses IT planning, studies, and assessment to assist organizations in both IT capital planning and assessment; Development and Integration: Services include project management of systems development that organizations consider essential; Operational and Support: Services include a broad range, from IT-related to operations and support services; Staff Augmentation: Provides services through the issuance of time and materials task orders (purchase orders). KIT Solutions provides data-driven decision support services (DDSS) to health and human service agencies to help them effectively manage service delivery, report to state and federal governments, and modernize data collection systems. KIT’s DDSS help to identify and solve problems and help shape decisions by turning raw, fragmented data into intelligence on which real-time decisions can be made.

“Being part of the pre-qualified list of vendors in Florida is a great opportunity for KIT,” said Xiaoyan Zhang, KIT Solutions president and CEO. “We are pleased to be a contract vendor, because it enables us to expand our work in Florida and gives us the opportunity to demonstrate our expertise in a broad range of IT consulting services as specified in the contract. Our ability to help Florida agencies improve their decision making based on increased knowledge and usable data is gratifying.”
