The Challenge for Mid-Market Resellers
Corrections sits on the iT1 list of markets, next to education, healthcare and federal government. That is a narrow specialty for a company better known as a procurement house, and it says something about where the Tempe business has gone since it was registered in Arizona in 2003. The federal side of the business carries the same signal. iT1 sells into agencies whose buying rules are written down and audited, and it holds ISO 9001:2015 certification scoped to commercial off the shelf IT commodities and technical solutions
Read that scope closely and the problem shows itself. ISO 9001:2015 covers how iT1 supplies commodities and technical solutions, which is a supply chain quality system, and the security services layered on top of it are governed by nothing so clean. A corrections agency or a state government buyer asks about screened personnel, data handling and evidence of a repeatable engineering process before it lets anyone near a network. Federal buyers ask for the same and write it into the order. Meanwhile the customer base is national while the engineering bench is in Tempe, so every security engagement outside Arizona becomes a travel and scheduling problem before it becomes a technical one, and managed detection and response has to be staffed continuously rather than project by project
This is the part CWS takes off you. We field the security engineers under the iT1 name, to a single delivery standard, anywhere in the United States or Canada, and in French where Quebec or Canadian federal requirements apply. Corova is where the scoping and quoting happen and where your project managers watch the work, so a bid on a state contract can be priced from real numbers rather than an estimate

Renting engineers who work to your standard is how a Tempe bench covers a national contract without pretending it already can
