Overview
HCLTech is dedicated to supercharging public sector organizations and enhancing the lives of the constituents they serve through transformative technologies.
To better serve state and local government, education (SLED) organizations, and federal civilian and defense agencies in the United States, HCLTech established Public Sector Solutions (PSS) as a dedicated subsidiary. We continue to partner with government departments and agencies, combining our deep public sector expertise with integrated technology solutions, advanced software platforms and commercial capabilities to drive impactful outcomes.
Focus Segments
The complexity of government operations, rising cyber threats and GenAI adoption demand specialized IT solutions for the public sector. We deliver tailored strategies for State, Local Government and Education (SLED), Federal Civilian agencies and Government Defense organizations spanning states, cities, schools, universities, cabinet-level departments and all military branches. Beyond our deep public sector expertise, we bring cross-industry experience in aerospace and defense, healthcare, transportation, financial services and energy, providing insights and real-world examples that help agencies drive progress
State, Local Government and Education (SLED)
Modernizing SLED organizations goes beyond adopting new technology—it’s about reducing technical debt, creating operational efficiencies and enhancing constituent services. We work closely with SLED leaders to modernize legacy systems, improve digital accessibility and strengthen data security. By addressing these challenges, we help organizations streamline workflows, optimize service delivery and reduce costs through multicloud flexibility and automation. Our integrated technology solutions enable SLED organizations to become more agile, secure and efficient, driving greater impact for the citizens they serve.
Federal Civilian
US federal civilian organizations are dedicated to serving citizens, making the delivery of seamless, user-friendly services a top priority. We help enhance constituent experiences by leveraging the power of GenAI for personalized, responsive interactions. At the same time, we help mitigate IT and cybersecurity risks, ensure data compliance and drive meaningful digital transformations. Drawing on our extensive public sector expertise, we provide tailored solutions that improve citizen engagement, modernize IT infrastructures and secure sensitive data, enabling federal agencies to better serve their constituents.
Government Defense
Innovation is central to the US Department of Defense (DoD) and its agencies, and HCLTech’s engineering heritage, innovative approach and commitment to zero-trust security standards make us the ideal partner for this critical sector. We support defense modernization by delivering secure, scalable solutions that enhance resilience and ensure the highest levels of cybersecurity. Through cloud, GenAI and advanced technologies, we address the complex challenges of ITAR compliance, CMMC and NIST 800-53, while safeguarding sensitive data. Our solutions are purpose-built to ensure that defense agencies are not only modernized but also resilient in the face of evolving threats.

Our robust ITAR-compliant delivery capabilities combined with strong business consulting and implementation capabilities through our AXON and BUTLER Group acquisitions make us the ideal strategic partner to address the challenges for aerospace and defense companies today and in the future.
