CentralSquare Technologies, a leading provider of public sector software in North America, has exceeded its Cloud 1000 initiative, reaching 1,065 cloud deployments across its Public Administration (PA) and Public Safety & Justice (PSJ) portfolios.

Deployments from agencies including Fairfax County Police, Virginia; Murrieta Police Department, California; and the Fairbanks, Alaska, Emergency Communications Center reflect nationwide momentum across jurisdictions of all sizes toward more robust public-sector infrastructure.

Launched in December 2024, the initiative set a bold vision to accelerate AWS cloud migration across the public sector. Now surpassing this milestone, CentralSquare continues to modernize essential government operations while strengthening resilience, efficiency, and public service.

Key milestone highlights, according to CentralSquare, include:

  • 1,003 cloud deployments live and serving agencies today
  • 65 deployments actively progressing toward go-live
  • 437 Public Administration cloud deployments
  • 628 Public Safety & Justice cloud deployments
  • Largest growth in 2025 driven by public safety adoption

“At today’s pace of transformation, the cloud is mission-critical infrastructure as evidenced by CentralSquare doubling its cloud customer base in 2025,” said Manolis Kotzabasakis, CEO, CentralSquare Technologies. “Surpassing 1,000 cloud deployments reflects the magnitude of trust public servants place in CentralSquare to power modern operations and keep communities safe.”

"CentralSquare's achievement demonstrates the power of our partnership in modernizing government infrastructure, strengthening the security, resilience, and reliability of critical public safety systems that millions depend on daily," said Kim Majerus, vice president of U.S. state and local government and global education at AWS.

CentralSquare said Agencies across the country are realizing faster, more reliable, and streamlined workflows with its cloud solutions.

“Cloud technology makes resilience possible,” said Mark Boudreaux, executive director of Terrebonne Parish Communications District, Louisiana. “We don’t rely on hope anymore. We rely on the cloud, a bigger generator, and Starlink to get us through emergencies.”

“Since moving to the cloud, 911 operations are not only more secure and efficient but better equipped to handle emergencies without interruption,” said William Orgertrice, division chief for the county’s emergency services department.

“Moving to the cloud is not a simple technology upgrade; it’s a way to literally keep our data dry and ensure uninterrupted access to our critical systems,” said Colonel John Ostrander, Albany/Dougherty County’s chief jailer.

“Moving to the cloud gave us the confidence we need to support everyone who relies on us,” said Kristi Merideth, dispatch manager at Fairbanks.

CentralSquare continues to collaborate closely with AWS to ensure public-sector clients receive strong security, scalability, and performance as they modernize their operations in the cloud.
