In the ever-evolving world of public sector technology, the most impactful changes often start with a conversation. For M&S Consulting and Carahsoft, it was no different. It all began with a series of strategic discussions between the leadership teams of M&S Consulting and Carahsoft. Both organizations deliver technology solutions such as Salesforce, AWS, Microsoft, Oracle, and SAP with M&S focused on technology personnel and Carahsoft focused on technology licensing. Both organizations were looking for ways to enhance their offerings and deliver more value to their clients. During these discussions, they realized that their combined expertise could create a powerful synergy, offering unprecedented benefits to public sector clients.
M&S Consulting, a HUBZone certified, woman-owned, small disadvantaged business, upholds a strong commitment to diversity, excellence, and security.
