Combined expertise to help agencies leverage proven & secured, cloud-based platform to deliver modernized citizen services faster.

MCLEAN, Va.--()--NTT DATA, a global digital business and IT services leader, and Cardinality.ai, a data technology company, today announced a strategic alliance to accelerate modernization of government services using secured cloud based platforms to bolster agency and program effectiveness. Through this alliance, the companies will pursue joint opportunities that leverage the expertise of both NTT DATA and Cardinality.ai.

MD THINK (Maryland Total Human-services Integrated Network) is a secure, AWS cloud-based technology system that allows multiple state agencies to share data and common services as one platform. The companies successfully contributed to the ground-breaking platform that enables Maryland to implement specific solutions across multiple agencies - MD Department of Human Services, MD Department of Health, MD Department of Juvenile Services, and the MD Health Benefit Exchange, for various programs quickly, having addressed the common, foundational cloud infrastructure, security and technology challenges as part of the platform.

This partnership will offer Cardinality PICS (Personalized Integrated Citizen Services) platform, modeled based on MD THINK, enabling government agencies to accelerate modernization, while reducing the risk and cost overrides of these complicated multi-year modernization initiatives, leveraging the experience and expertise from two industry-leading companies.
