A consulting firm built by former government leaders, for the clients they understand best.
Providing a clear path forward.
IT Consulting, Salesforce & Agentforce, Financial Management & Administration, Grants Management, and Change Management for public and private sector organizations, delivered by a team of professionals who have sat in your seat.
Our leadership team held these roles before they ever consulted on them. They know what a scope change costs an agency, what a compressed timeline actually requires, and what is realistic to deliver, because they made those calls themselves.
We have had the pleasure of serving state agencies, local governments, nonprofits, associations, and more, from targeted process reviews to full-scale system implementations.
Canopy already holds numerous contract vehicles. If your organization procures through one of these, you can engage us by leveraging an approved, existing contract vehicle.
Eight active contract vehicles across Florida, Texas, Missouri, and national cooperative purchasing programs.
GSA Schedule holder, available to federal agencies and eligible state and local buyers nationwide.
TIPS Cooperative Purchasing vendor, open to schools, municipalities, counties, and nonprofits without a competitive bid.
"Public Sector Solutions, Experience Cloud, and MuleSoft implementations for state agencies and grant-funded organizations, with Agentforce automation built in where it fits the workflow."
We work with state and local government agencies and the nonprofit organizations and foundations that partner with them, bringing the same operational discipline, compliance expertise, and delivery standards to both.
State & Local Government
State agencies with grants programs and federal reporting obligations
Emergency management and disaster recovery programs
Health and human services case management
Finance and administration offices
Departments navigating federal compliance mandates
A statewide guardianship data project, delivered without the delays public-sector systems are known for.
The Florida Clerks of Court Operations Corporation needed to procure a vendor to design and implement a centralized database consolidating guardianship data from across Florida's court systems, and build a public-facing website to meet its statutory transparency obligations. Canopy guided CCOC through every phase: procurement planning, RFP development, vendor evaluation, contract award, and post-award implementation oversight.
Following the successful contract award, CCOC engaged Canopy to provide ongoing project management advisory and oversight: keeping the implementation on track, applying best practices, and ensuring the final solution met CCOC's statewide service objectives.
A Florida state agency was processing grant applications through a 40-step manual intake process. Reviewers spent the majority of their time on completeness checks, eligibility routing, and document verification, work that had no policy discretion attached to it.
We designed and deployed an Agentforce agent that handles application intake, runs structured eligibility logic, routes exceptions to human reviewers, and produces an auditable decision record. It went into production, not a pilot environment, not a controlled demo, in a live grants cycle.
Agentforce application intake and eligibility screening
Human-in-the-loop routing for exceptions and policy calls
Auditable decision records for compliance review
Procured through TIPS cooperative purchasing, no standalone RFP
Outcome: 40+ manual steps automated in a single grants cycle, with a full audit log of every decision and no disruption to program compliance.
Our Team
The people in this room have sat on the other side of the table.
They have signed the procurement, defended the line item, waited for the federal questionnaire, and briefed the secretary the morning after a system outage. That experience is not on a slide, it is in every conversation.
