State & Local

 

Health and Human Services (HHS) agencies of state and local government require specialized IT solutions and services geared to their unique and often complex requirements. That's why they turn to a company with a proven track record: Northrop Grumman.

Since 1985, Northrop Grumman has designed, built and supported largescale, mission-critical systems that help state and local governments support citizens by:

  • Determining eligibility for and issuing financial and medical assistance
  • Managing the collection and distribution of child support payments
  • Recording the neglect and abuse of children and adult communities
  • Supporting public health programs

More Than Technology


For HHS IT projects, technology is just the start. These projects are driven by legislation  and directed at some of our nation's most complex problems and most vulnerable populations. As a result, understanding the unique program requirements - including social, mission and business factors - are critical to developing effective technical solutions.

The company provides a sound and secure technology vision grounded in high quality delivery of services and superior technical support from people who know and understand the HHS sector - and state and local government. Our blend of technical and subject matter experts enables customers to quickly realize value on their IT investment.
