Outcomes. Delivered.
GCOM develops technology that helps governments improve outcomes for the people they serve.
For example, our technology:

• Ensures that mothers can buy healthy food for their children through the WIC program.
• Helps first responders decrease opioid overdoses in their neighborhoods.
• Tracks trends in human trafficking so local law enforcement can identify traffickers and better support victims.
• Gives teachers the insights they need to spot students who need extra support.
• Helps state tax agencies process returns 99% faster so taxpayers get their refunds right away.

Combined, GCOM and OnCore form a large-scale digital software and solutions company focused solely on the state, local, and federal agencies, providing outcome-driven, repeatable software and services.
We're more than a technology company -- we're an outcomes company.
