What Protech Solutions does

Protech Solutions, Inc. is a privately-held, self-funded government technology company founded in 1995 and headquartered at 303 W Capitol Ave, Little Rock, Arkansas. The company develops enterprise-level systems for state, territorial, county, and international government agencies across four primary verticals: child support enforcement (CSE), corrections and reentry, homelessness services, and government benefits administration (SNAP, TANF, General Assistance). Its stated headcount exceeds 300 employees, with more than half of staff dedicated to research and development. The customer base includes state-level agencies such as Arkansas, New Jersey, South Carolina, Virginia, Maine, New Hampshire, Hawaii, Maryland, Pennsylvania, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, plus international bodies including the Hague Conference on Private International Law. The company is led by founder/owner Satish Garimalla, with CEO/Director Nagaraj Garimalla and an executive team including SVP of Business Development Katie Morgan (former South Carolina IV-D Director) and recently added VP of Business Development Ethan McKinney (joining April 2026).

The company's core technical offering is the Protech Core Certified Microservices (PCCM) platform, a modern microservices architecture for child support enforcement that decomposes monolithic CSE systems into independent services for payment processing, case management, and document handling. The portfolio extends across approximately fifteen sub-branded products including Track My Cases (AI-powered predictive case management with anomaly detection), AI Assist for Human Services (an LLM-powered suite including chatbots, RAG-based agents for multi-channel support including WhatsApp and Microsoft Teams, and SDLC automation for software development lifecycle), Good Grid (HIPAA-compliant social care referral platform, white-labeled as Thrive Hub in South Carolina), OneTrac (SNAP application processing), Housing Match (corrections reentry housing), and the State Disbursement Units payment processing platform. Technology stack emphasizes AWS FedRAMP-compliant cloud infrastructure and migration from legacy COBOL/Natural environments to C#/.Net and SQL Server. Protech holds 8+ federally certified CSE implementations and has produced quantified outcomes including 5.2% collections increases in Maine, $3.3M annual corrections savings in Arkansas, and 400,000+ households served in New Jersey.

Protech generates revenue exclusively through direct contracts with government entities, with no public pricing or rate cards disclosed. Contracts are multi-year and awarded through formal government procurement processes (RFPs, direct contracting, cooperative purchasing). The company operates without external institutional investors and conducts all go-to-market through direct government sales, industry conferences (NCSEA, WICSEC), thought leadership content, and case study distribution. A $14M trade secrets jury verdict (pending appeal) was awarded against the company in Pulaski County in litigation related to the 2018 $65M Nevada state contract.
