CATALYIT
If you have ever felt overwhelmed by agency technology, you are not alone. New tools, new vendors, new promises. It is hard to know what is actually worth your time and money. Catalyit was founded by several Big “I” State Associations to help agencies like yours make sense of technology without the vendor sales pressure. It gives you access to tools that help you understand your technology, spot gaps, and plan what comes next.
