Different By Design.

Other SaaS = Hotel California

  • Other SaaS providers are “programmed to receive, check out any time you like… but you can never leave!”

  • The data is yours, but the account it is stored in on the cloud belongs to the vendor

  • At contract cancellation, other providers give you 0-90 days to move your data elsewhere. They ‘leverage’ your data against you.

Scout PD builds you a home.

  • Storage, compute, networking… it’s all deployed in your AWS GovCloud account.

  • We do this with infrastructure-as-code. No expensive consultants and lengthy deploys. It all spins up in 40-60 minutes. Easy peasy.

  • Scout PD will never leverage your data against you.

Great Neighborhood

  • We build your home on your property - your AWS account.

    • Don’t have an account? They are free and take five (5) minutes to open.

    • We put your account in a great neighborhood - AWS GovCloud - with other Federal & State agencies

    • This makes large scale data federation simple to deliver in a crisis

Force Multiplier for Your Mission

  • Technology automation on the left

  • Community collaboration on the right

Law enforcement supports our communities. We support law enforcement.

Transparency Delivered.

  • Receive underlying cloud costs (storage, etc.) from AWS, with transparency unparalleled by other SaaS providers

  • Unlike other SaaS providers, there is no markup of underlying cloud services. We call this “SaaS 2.0”.

  • Cloud services are all volume-based pricing. Pay for only what you use. Scout PD is unbundled because it’s your budget. You deserve to know.

Procurement Without Hassle.

  • NASPO ValuePoint - the ubiquitous state contract run by state procurement officers; also available for local government use and it covers all 50 states. Participating addendums (PAs) in place covering virtually every state.

  • SEWP - one of the most flexible and popular Federal contracts.

  • Texas DIR - covers Texas state agencies and is available for any government agency to use via a 3-page ‘interlocal’ addendum.
