On August 4, Melissa and Carahsoft Technology Corp. announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as Melissa’s Master Government Aggregator, making the company’s innovative suite of tools for open source intelligence (OSINT), data quality, identity resolution, fraud management and more available to the public sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, Information Technology Enterprise Solutions – Software 2 (ITES-SW2), National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO) ValuePoint, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS) and OMNIA Partners contracts.

As part of Carahsoft’s network of solutions, we look forward to helping agencies tap into verified, enriched and protected data for mission-critical intelligence – underpinning everything from citizen communications to fraud prevention, compliance and emergency response.”
Melissa’s comprehensive data quality solutions reflect the scope of data impact in the public sector, ranging from transactional, compliance-based communications such as tax or utility notices to more engagement-focused operations, including community program news.

Having successfully completed the strict federal security and compliance requirements necessary for FedRAMP authorization, the GovCloud Address Suite is purpose-built for handling sensitive citizen data in mission-critical government systems.
