What Dajani Consulting does

Dajani Consulting, Inc. is a privately held California-based IT consulting firm founded in 2011 by Zaid Al-Dajani (CEO/CIO) and May Qaddoumi, headquartered in Elk Grove, CA with 11-50 employees. The firm delivers professional services — project management, quality assurance, business analysis, software development, database engineering, cybersecurity, organizational change management, and assessments — to California state government agencies, with named engagements across the Department of Technology, Governor's Office of Emergency Services, State Treasurer's Office, Department of Justice, Department of Insurance, Department of Toxic Substances Control, and Corrections Healthcare Services. Notable technical scope includes work on legislatively mandated systems such as the Stop Data Collection System (NoSQL/Cassandra, Ruby on Rails, Java, Oracle), California Sex and Arson Registry 2.0 (JBoss, Drools, Spring, Hibernate, Oracle), and CURES 2.0 enhancements.

The firm is technology-agnostic, selecting stacks per client requirement from a working inventory that includes Java, Ruby on Rails, Oracle, NoSQL (Cassandra), JBoss, Spring, Hibernate, SOAP, REST, JSON, and SiteMinder. It holds preferred-vendor status on California state procurement vehicles — Master Service Agreement (MSA), CMAS, and CalPERS IT Consulting Spring-Fed Pool — plus Sacramento County IT Staffing and SMUD Seed Vendor contracts. Revenue is generated entirely through professional services staffing and consulting engagements under these contract vehicles; no productized software, pricing transparency, or external funding is disclosed. A sub-brand, DajaneX (dajanex.com), has been established to commercialize technology solutions separately from the parent consulting business. An Artificial Intelligence Services line has been added, framed around process automation and pattern recognition for state agency use cases, alongside a Cyber Security / Information Security Services line aligned to the Cal-Secure framework.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Slalom: Large technology consultancy with an active Public Sector practice covering state modernization, cloud, and advisory work. Significantly larger but competes for the same California state IT-services engagements.
• Maximus: Large public-sector services firm delivering operational and IT modernization across health, justice, and regulatory agencies — directly overlapping several of Dajani's DOJ, Corrections Healthcare, and Insurance engagements at a much larger scale.
• ICF International: Public-sector consultancy combining digital transformation, cybersecurity, and program management for state and federal clients — comparable tech-and-process consulting footprint to Dajani's.
• Accenture Federal Services: Federal/state government IT services arm of Accenture, providing large-scale systems integration and modernization — a large incumbent on California contract vehicles against which Dajani must differentiate on agility and SME intimacy.
• Tyler Technologies: Major provider of public-sector software and implementation services to state and local agencies; comparable in that it bundles proprietary solutions with state-IT services, potentially encroaching on Dajani's implementation and modernization engagements.
• Deloitte Consulting (State Government): Big-Four advisory and systems-integration incumbent with deep State Government practice, often serving as prime contractor on the largest California IT-modernization task orders that Dajani competes against as sub or co-prime.
• CGI Group: Global IT and business consulting firm with a major U.S. State & Local Government practice delivering systems integration and managed services — directly overlapping California state modernizations.

Direct peers

• CSG Government Solutions: Mid-size IT and management consulting firm focused on U.S. state and federal government agencies, providing project management, systems integration, and modernization services — directly comparable in scope to Dajani's California state-agency delivery model.
• BerryDunn: Full-service consulting firm with a substantial State Government Practice providing IT strategy, systems selection, project management, and security services to state agencies — overlapping with Dajani's managed/PM/cyber capabilities for public-sector clients.

Regional players

• MTG (Management Solutions & Training) — CA Public Sector IT Vendors pool: Small-to-mid California- and Western-region public-sector IT consulting firms qualified on state MSA/CMAS that Dajani directly competes with on task orders from CDT, DOJ, and CDPH — comparable California regional public-sector IT-services peer set.
