What Agate Software does

Agate Software is a privately held US government software vendor and the US affiliate of IGX Solutions, headquartered in Okemos, Michigan, with a regional office in Glendale, Arizona. The company develops and implements web-based grants management software under the IntelliGrants IGX platform, serving more than 120 state and federal government clients across 34 US states. Its product portfolio extends beyond core grants management to include Core CVC, a case management solution for crime victim compensation agencies, and BEPro, a Business Enterprise Program administration tool for state licensing agencies serving visually impaired vendors under the Randolph-Sheppard Act.

The IntelliGrants IGX platform is built on Microsoft SQL Server with an ASP.NET MVC / VB.NET 4.6.2 / JavaScript / HTML5 front end, hosted on Azure US Government Cloud, and supported by Microsoft Gold Certified Partner credentials. The platform manages the full grant lifecycle from pre-application through closeout and includes GIS mapping integration, sam.gov and USPS address validation, multifactor authentication, and ADA/WCAG 2.0 accessibility compliance. SOC 2 Type II certification has been achieved, GovRAMP Basic Member status is in place, and HIPAA certification is in progress.

Revenue is generated primarily through annual subscription licensing combined with implementation, configuration, training, and ongoing maintenance professional services. Pricing is quote-based and varies by agency size, user count, and configuration complexity. Go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales, with dedicated Account Managers, Project Leads, and an RFP-driven sales cycle targeting state, federal, local, and tribal government agencies plus nonprofit and educational institution segments.
