Government
Twenty years of proven IT staffing and delivery for state government agencies — qualified resources, rigorous vetting, and continuity you can count on.
Nifty Inc. is an IT staff augmentation and project delivery firm specializing in government agencies. Founded in 2005, we have built our practice exclusively around the demands of public-sector IT: compliance-aware delivery, procurement-aligned engagement models, and the kind of long-term reliability that government programs require.
Engagement models
- Staff augmentation. Qualified, thoroughly vetted IT professionals for defined project roles — placed quickly, integrated smoothly, and retained reliably.
- Project delivery. End-to-end delivery ownership for a defined project with governance coordination across client teams and partner organizations.
- Program delivery. End-to-end responsibility for an IT program comprising multiple related projects and integrations.
Domain expertise
Our deepest experience is in the domains that matter most to state government IT:
- Data & Analytics: Predictive analytics, master data management (MDM), reporting and data architecture
- Core systems: Policy management, billing systems, claims processing (medical and insurance)
- Infrastructure & modernization: Legacy system modernization, infrastructure support, electronic file management
Representative roles
- Application architect / Data architect
- Project manager / Program manager
- Data modeler / Business analyst
- Oracle and J2EE developer
- DBA (Oracle and DB2)
- Windows system administrator
- Security engineer
Candidate vetting process
Every candidate submitted to a government client passes a multi-layer screening process before we make any introduction:
- Detailed technical interview against the specific role requirements
- Reference checks with prior supervisors or clients
- Background check
- Social media review
We do not submit candidates who have not cleared all four layers. This process is why our consultants stay — most have been with their engagements for over a decade.
Past performance
Nifty Inc. has maintained a continuous government IT staffing engagement since 2005 — over 20 years of uninterrupted service to a major state government agency in California, supporting thousands of employees across dozens of locations in domains including predictive analytics, infrastructure, and core systems modernization.
We have also delivered IT staff augmentation through MSP contracts for state government in New Jersey, where we grew to become the largest vendor on the contract with six simultaneous consultants placed across state agency projects.
