Public Sector.

IPoint Advisors is a comprehensive advocacy, outreach and technology management firm serving both public agencies and private sector entities poised to transact business with these agencies. First and foremost we are proactive partners with our advocacy clients. Our seasoned professional staff is well-versed in public affairs and is comprised of individuals that currently hold or have held positions as Mayor, Council Member, Commissioner and City Manager. These same individuals collectively offer our clients expertise in marketing, development and technology.

For public agencies we provide process assistance that allows constituent business to be transacted smoothly, efficiently and effectively. This includes electronic (egovernment), print and over-the-counter process and transaction solutions, as well as advising on means to streamline constituent transactional policies and procedures. We also represent governmental agencies on matters of interest they have before other jurisdictions and public agencies.

Private sector businesses that are interested in transacting business with public agencies can depend on IPoint Advisors to provide advocacy, community outreach, issue management and strategic support, regulatory issue resolution, media relations and strategic communications, crisis management and government procurement services. We also assist those involved in economic development programs that must gain the support and approval of local governments and citizens.

Private Sector.

Working with private sector organizations to support and promote their endeavor in the public sector arena, IPoint Advisors provides the following services that are tailored to meet our clients' specific objectives:

  • Advocacy: We assist clients with developing a legislative and/or political strategy that will achieve their specific objectives while complying with the political landscape and sound public policy. IPoint Advisors also guides our private sector clients in their analysis of current public policy relative to their objective, so they can better define their position. With strategies and policy positions in place, we represent our clients' interests before local, county and state agencies.
  • Government Procurement: By guiding our clients through the procurement process, IPoint Advisors assists our clients in securing governmental contracts. Due to our positioning with numerous public agencies, we are often able to identify contract opportunities and present them to our clients. Our staff is well versed in minority and women business enterprise teaming arrangements and can provide introductions for our clients to key business owners.
  • Community Outreach: Duly integrated in local, regional and state business and political communities, we are well positioned to identify potential contractors and subcontractors for our clients' consideration that meet MBE/WBE qualifications and enjoy outstanding business reputations.
  • Issue Management & Strategic Support: On issues of public concern that affect our clients, IPoint Advisors will develop strategies and/or tactics designed to favorably affect public opinion. Focusing on public opinion leaders and other key stakeholders, strategies may either be grassroots-oriented or based in community relations or ally development.
  • Regulatory Issue Resolution: Utilizing our working relationships with elected officials and their staff, along with our political knowledge and savvy, IPoint Advisors works on our clients' behalf to resolve problematic regulatory issues. These efforts may be provided on an on-going basis, or in response to a specific short-term issue.
