DataMaxx

What DataMaxx does

Datamaxx Applied Technologies, Inc. is a privately held, Florida-certified woman-owned enterprise founded in 1991 in Tallahassee, FL, that provides CJIS-compliant communications, data access, and information sharing software to law enforcement, criminal justice, public safety, and government agencies across North America, Canada, Guam, and Puerto Rico. The company serves over 750,000 end users and claims more than 70% market share in the law enforcement communications market, with anchor customers including the FBI, NYPD, U.S. Department of State, U.S. DOJ, OPM, Texas Department of Public Safety, Washington State Patrol, and the Royal Canadian Mounted Police.

The company's product architecture is centered on the Omnixx Enterprise platform and the Omnixx Force suite (Desktop, Web, App, and Mobile clients), backed by the Datamaxx Secure Cloud — the only Nlets-audited private cloud meeting FBI CJIS Security Policy requirements and the first CJIS-compliant private cloud established in 2003. Core technology includes the Omnixx Message Broker for state- and metro-level message switching, FIPS 140-2 encryption, Advanced Authentication, and a patented Universal Message Number (UMN) indexing system (US Patent 8,849,831) that indexes 4 billion messages per day. The company also developed three proprietary communication interface standards (DMPP-2020, DSEO, OFML) used by 90% of law enforcement agencies and vendors, and runs on a Microsoft stack (Azure, SQL Server, .NET/C#). Adjacent products include the REDTAIL Security & Screening Program for critical infrastructure and campus safety (extended with wellness screening and digital contact tracing in 2020), IntelliTICKET e-citation, and Omnixx Trainer learning management.

Datamaxx operates a direct enterprise field-sales GTM motion with dedicated contacts for Federal/International, State/Local, and general inquiries. Revenue is generated primarily through subscription-based cloud computing and software licensing/maintenance contracts (the DOJ JWIN, Washington State Patrol ACCESS, and Texas DPS contracts are long-tenured enterprise agreements), supplemented by professional implementation services, integration support, and training (Datamaxx Academy, including Take30 sessions). Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers must contact sales for quotes. The company was co-founded by Kay Stephenson (President & CEO) and Jonathan Waters (CTO), both still in their roles, and reports no external institutional investment or ownership changes.

Scale indicators10 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• NICE Systems (NICE Public Safety): Provides situational intelligence, CAD, and records management to public safety agencies. Comparable because it competes for the same command-and-control and information-sharing spend in federal/state law enforcement.
• Motorola Solutions: Public-safety incumbent offering command-and-control, CAD, and records software to the same police/state/federal buyers as Datamaxx. Comparable because it sells into overlapping law enforcement IT budgets (and is listed as a Datamaxx strategic partner), though it operates at vastly greater scale and broader scope.
• Tyler Technologies: Large public-sector software vendor providing court, jail, and justice information solutions to state and local governments. Comparable because it sells adjacent criminal-justice workflows to overlapping government buyers, expanding into records management areas where Datamaxx could extend.
• Palantir Technologies: Data analytics and operational platforms deployed by federal law enforcement and intelligence customers (e.g., DOJ, FBI). Comparable because it operates at the intersection of criminal-justice data and federal software infrastructure, and represents a potential partner or competitor in CJIS-adjacent analytics.
• Axon Enterprise: Provider of TASER weapons, body cameras, evidence management, and now CAD/records software to law enforcement. Comparable because it increasingly competes in the same agency technology stacks and is moving into software-defined public-safety workflows.
• Hexagon Safety & Infrastructure: Provides public-safety CAD, records, and analytics platforms built on the former Intergraph suite. Comparable because it is another incumbent serving the same justice and public-safety agencies worldwide with overlapping information-sharing capabilities.

Direct peers

• CentralSquare Technologies (TriTech): Provides integrated public-safety CAD, RMS, and mobile software to police/fire/EMS agencies. Highly comparable to Datamaxx as a named partner/reseller of Omnixx, competing for the same agency modernization dollars.
• IDEMIA: Identity, biometric, and secure identification solutions provider serving law enforcement and federal agencies. Comparable because it works into the same CJIS identity and authentication infrastructure and overlapping federal procurement programs.

Emerging players

• Mark43: Cloud-native public-safety platform serving police agencies with CAD, RMS, and analytics on a SaaS model. Comparable because it targets the same modernization budgets as Datamaxx with a next-gen cloud architecture, representing a competitive threat in newer state procurements.
• Cellebrite: Digital forensics and intelligence solutions widely used by law enforcement for mobile data extraction and case management. Comparable because it sells adjacent CJIS-tied tooling to the same agency customers and could be bundled with or against Omnixx.
