Historical Stock Chart
From May 2019 to May 2024
CDW Government, Inc. (CDW-G), a wholly owned subsidiary of CDW
Corporation (NASDAQ:CDWC) and leading source of Information Technology
(IT) solutions to governments and educators, today launched the fourth
in a series of the State & Local Government Technology Investment Curve
(TIC), an assessment of State & Local government purchasing behavior
since 2003. This edition of the TIC maps all potential state, county and
city government customers against four years of CDW-G customer data on a
range of mobility technologies, such as notebooks, non-wireless
handhelds and wireless communication devices. Encompassing all 50
states, more than 100,000 products and 1,000 manufacturers, the TIC
provides the most accurate, unbiased assessment of State & Local
government technology investment currently available.
Of all 50 states, Utah and Wisconsin are the Lead Investors in mobility
technologies. Utah leads the states with a mobility investment profile
257 percent higher than the average, and Wisconsin follows with an
investment profile 210 percent higher than the average. These Lead
Investor states demonstrate significant, committed investment in
mobility technologies at all levels of government and over the entire
four-year assessment. Utah and Wisconsin are followed in mobility
technology investment by Early Investors California, New York, Oregon,
and Colorado, with mobility investment profiles between 114 percent and
73 percent higher than average. Next in investment are 12 Early Majority
states, led by Virginia, Washington, Ohio and Maryland.
Mobility technologies enable state and local government employees to
send and receive information and complete tasks in the field. The TIC
analysis includes four mobility technology categories: wireless
notebooks, Apple notebooks, non-wireless handhelds and wireless
communication devices. Mobility technologies enable state and local
governments to improve emergency response times and employee
productivity, bring services to citizens where they live and work, and
eliminate paper-based processes.
The CDW-G State & Local TIC for mobility technologies is not an
assessment of leadership in mobility technology or quality of
deployments. Rather, the curve is a quantitative, relative index of
investment in mobility technologies. Mobility technology investment is a
single component of the people, processes and technologies required to
bring data and applications directly to employees in the field, improve
public safety, eliminate the need to return to offices to complete
tasks, and improve continuity of operations capabilities.
“Mobility technologies have the power to
transform operations for city, county and state governments,”
said Jim Grass, CDW-G senior director of state and local government
sales. “Critically, mobility technologies
improve emergency response times and the security of public safety
officers in the field, as well as the citizens they serve. They also
deliver data and applications directly to government employees serving
citizens where they live and work. With mobility technologies, employees
no longer have to return to the office to complete tasks –
improving work/life balance while enabling completion of ever-greater
volumes of work with the same number of hands. We hope that the State &
Local Technology Investment Curve will enhance the market dialogue on
the important benefits of mobility technology.”
Looking specifically at the Lead and Early Investor states, CDW-G and
interviewees in state, county and municipal governments identified
common elements that lead to more aggressive investments in mobility
technologies, including:
Development of public safety initiatives that deliver mission-critical
information to patrol and emergency response vehicles
Creation of paperless systems, increasing government productivity and
cross-agency information sharing
Development of programs that bring government services to citizens
where they live and work
The State & Local TIC for mobility technologies has a margin of error of
less than 2 percent. The full study is available for download and review
