Public Sector
Cloud, AI, and hardware for government.
AC5 Labs is an implementation partner for federal agencies, state and local governments, and education clients. We design and deploy cloud solutions, integrate AI into the platforms your staff already use, and procure the computers and peripherals to run both. Orderable through Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX, or contracted direct.
Why one partner
One partner across cloud, AI, and hardware.
Most agencies juggle three or four vendors to do what AC5 does on one purchase order. A cloud reseller for the licenses, a consultant for the AI rollout, a separate hardware reseller for the laptops, and someone else to wire it all together. We do all of it, on the buying vehicles your team already uses. One point of contact, one invoice, one accountable partner from quote through deployment through ongoing support.
Security
Built to your security posture.
Every AC5 engagement inherits the NIST SP 800-171 controls baseline: authentication, encryption, audit logging, and backups, with a security self-assessment, security risk assessment, incident response runbook, and configuration baseline delivered at handoff.
For federal workloads that require FedRAMP-authorized hosting, AC5 deploys into AWS GovCloud or Microsoft Azure Government. For agencies that cannot use the cloud at all, AC5 delivers on-premise infrastructure, including small-footprint servers and self-contained appliances (see Hardware below).
Solution bundles
Cloud, AI, and hardware. Pick one or wire them together.
Most of what an agency needs maps to a handful of recurring buys: productivity in the cloud, AI added to the tools staff already use, and the laptops and peripherals to run both. Each bundle starts as a sizing conversation and ends as a written quote. Request any of them through Ingram Micro or TD SYNNEX.
Cloud productivity and collaboration
Microsoft 365, Google Workspace, Zoom, or hybrid stacks deployed and configured for the way your staff actually works. Tenant setup, identity, mailbox migration, SharePoint or Drive structure, MDM, and the policies a public-sector tenant needs from day one.
Cloud infrastructure and migration
AWS, Microsoft Azure, AWS GovCloud, and Azure Government landing zones, application migrations off legacy on-premise, network and identity wiring, and managed support after go-live. FedRAMP-authorized regions where the workload requires it.
AI productivity enhancements
Microsoft 365 Copilot, Google Gemini for Workspace, ChatGPT Enterprise, and Claude rolled out to staff with the controls and training that keep an agency safe. Use-case discovery, license sizing, governance, and measurable adoption.
AI workflows and agentic automation
AI added inside the platforms your team already uses. Drafting assistants, structured-data extraction, agency-tuned search, decision support, and agents that handle the routine so staff handle the judgment. Practical, governed, and measurable.
End-user hardware and peripherals
Laptops, desktops, displays, headsets, docks, and accessories from every major OEM, sourced through Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX on the buying vehicles your team already uses. Imaged and asset-tagged before they ship.
Field, kiosk, and specialty hardware
Rugged tablets for inspectors, lobby kiosks for intake, mobile printers, point-of-service hardware, networking, and small-footprint servers for sites that need on-premise compute.
Editions
How the work is sized.
Every engagement comes in a shape sized to the job. Pick the shape; the quote lands the number.
1 TO 2 WEEKS
Quick Win
A single rollout: one cloud SKU, one AI license tier, or one hardware refresh batch. The right answer when the scope is well-defined.
4 TO 8 WEEKS
Project
A focused deployment: a cloud migration, an AI rollout across a department, or a multi-site hardware refresh. The most common engagement.
8 TO 16 WEEKS
Program
A multi-track engagement: cloud plus AI plus hardware, wired together, with change management and training across roles.
ONGOING
Managed
Post-deployment support: tenant administration, license management, AI governance, hardware lifecycle, and a single point of contact across all three lines.
How to buy
Through Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX, or contract direct.
AC5 cloud, AI, and hardware solutions are orderable through Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX, so your team can purchase through the vehicles and reseller relationships it already uses. Tell us what you need; we send a written, line-itemized quote in 48 hours; your team places the order through the channel; we deploy, train, and support.
Prefer to contract direct? That works too. Same catalog, same support, same fixed-fee discipline.
Hardware
From the user's desk to the data closet.
Hardware procurement is a first-class line of business at AC5, not an afterthought tacked onto a software project. Same OEM catalog the big resellers carry, same distribution channels, with imaging, asset-tagging, and drop-ship included. When the cloud is not the answer, we deliver the box too.
End-user computing
Laptops, desktops, displays, peripherals, and accessories from every major OEM. We size, source, image, asset-tag, and drop-ship to the user or the site.
Servers and networking
On-premise and hybrid infrastructure: servers, switches, firewalls, wireless access points, and the small-footprint hardware that keeps a branch office running.
Field, kiosk, and specialty
Rugged tablets for field inspection and dispatch, lobby kiosks for intake, mobile printers, point-of-service hardware, and the rest of the specialty stack agencies need.
Configured and delivered
Hardware is sourced through Ingram Micro and TD SYNNEX and arrives configured for your environment, asset-tagged, and ready to deploy. One purchase order for software, cloud, and the box that runs it.
Hardware is quoted as its own line. Bundle it with cloud and AI on the same purchase order, or buy hardware on its own.
