At Cartegraph, our goal is to help people in government operations prioritize infrastructure maintenance, spend smarter, increase productivity, and make data-driven work and asset management decisions. 

From public works and water utilities to parks and facilities, one thing rings true: there has to be an easier way to buy the enterprise solution you need to capture data, analyze it, and prepare for the future. So, in the spirit of high-performance government, how does your city, state, county, or special district purchase Cartegraph work and asset management software quickly (without time consuming and costly RFP processes) and easily (minimizing risk)? 

Here are our top three tips:

  1. Leverage your NASPO Contract. The NASPO ValuePoint Cooperative Purchasing Organization provides the highest standard of excellence in public cooperative contracting. By leveraging the state-wide leadership and expertise with the purchasing power of their public entities, NASPO ValuePoint delivers reliable, competitively-sourced contracts at the best value. You can find the existing NASPO Contract (Software VAR SHI Master Agreement) applicable to every government entity across the county by visiting their website now.
  2. Piggy back off a neighboring agency's competitive bid. Every week, government agencies release RFPs for operations management systems (OMS), also known as enterprise asset management (EAM) software, computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), and asset management (AM) solutions. These RFPs are commonly created by consultants who are recycling the same content over and over. And, the agencies making selections are selecting one of a few companies the vast majority of the time. The RFP process has become an artificial exercise to arrive at a predetermined decision. Save your agency money and time by contracting off the back of a similar agency's competitive process.
