PARAMUS, N.J. and RESTON, Va., Aug. 31, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Piazza Consulting Group (PCG), an artificial intelligence product and technology consulting company, and Carahsoft Technology Corp., The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a partnership. Under the agreement, Carahsoft will serve as PCG’s Master Government Aggregator®, making PCG’s D360 AI platform, enterprise AI products, intelligent automation capabilities and professional services available to the Public Sector through Carahsoft’s reseller partners and NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V, The Interlocal Purchasing System (TIPS), OMNIA Partners, E&I Cooperative Services Contract and The Quilt contracts.
“Government agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize their operations while maintaining the highest standards of security, accountability and data control,” said James Di Piazza, CEO of Piazza Consulting Group. “Our partnership with Carahsoft gives Public Sector organizations streamlined access to practical AI solutions, experienced implementation teams and established Government procurement channels. Together, we can help agencies move from AI experimentation to secure, measurable and mission-focused adoption.”
At the center of PCG’s offering is D360 AI, a secure, general-purpose enterprise AI suite designed to automate high-volume, repetitive and information-intensive work. Built on PCG’s proprietary intelligence and orchestration layer, D360 AI brings multiple AI capabilities together on a common foundation, enabling organizations to launch new use cases through configuration rather than developing every solution from the ground up.
D360 AI includes:
- D360 Vision: Document intelligence that classifies complex documents, extracts structured information, summarizes content and supports automated document-driven workflows.
- D360 Voice: Real-time conversational voice AI for citizen services, contact centers, appointment management, service operations and multilingual engagement.
- D360 RAG: Secure retrieval-augmented generation that enables users to search, understand and interact with agency knowledge, policies, records and operational data.
- D360 Agent: Agentic AI that coordinates multi-step tasks, integrates with enterprise applications and combines automation with human review and approval.
- D360 Guard: AI governance and guardrail capabilities that help organizations monitor AI activity, enforce policies, protect sensitive information and support responsible AI adoption.
“Public Sector AI cannot be approached as a standalone chatbot or an isolated proof of concept,” said Balaganesh Chakrahari, Vice President of Technology at Piazza Consulting Group. “It must operate within existing agency systems, security boundaries and approval processes while producing reliable and traceable outcomes. We designed D360 AI as a flexible suite that brings together document intelligence, voice AI, retrieval, intelligent agents and governance, allowing agencies to address multiple operational needs without creating disconnected AI environments.
“Technology alone is not enough to achieve successful AI transformation. Our engineering and consulting teams work alongside customers to understand their mission, modernize existing applications, connect fragmented systems and deploy AI into real operational workflows. This combination of reusable AI products and hands-on implementation experience helps organizations move faster while reducing deployment risk.”
PCG’s technology can be deployed in commercial and Government cloud environments, private infrastructure, on-premise or within fully isolated and air-gapped environments. This deployment flexibility enables agencies to adopt modern AI capabilities while retaining greater control over sensitive information, infrastructure and operational policies.
“As agencies continue modernizing their IT environments, they need reliable AI to improve efficiency and accelerate mission outcomes,” said Michael Shrader, Vice President of Intelligence and Innovative Solutions at Carahsoft. “PCG’s comprehensive AI suite automates manual, time-consuming tasks through advanced capabilities including document intelligence, voice AI and more. Together with our reseller partners, Carahsoft and PCG are providing agencies with deployment-ready AI solutions that modernize legacy processes, reduce operational backlogs and drive productivity.”
Piazza Consulting Group’s solutions are available through Carahsoft’s SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B, TIPS Contract #220105, OMNIA Partners Contract #R240303, E&I Contract #EI00063~2021MA and The Quilt Master Service Agreement Number MSA05012019-F.
