Q: Can you discuss the impact of the recent presidential election on WidePoint’s operations, particularly in relation to past trends during the Trump administration and the focus on government efficiency? A: Jin Kang, President and CEO, explained that the decennial census project is seeing some activity for the 2030 census, though nothing material yet. The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a hybrid work environment, potentially increasing the number of endpoints. The focus on government efficiency aligns with WidePoint’s services, which save customers 15-35% on telecom costs. The immigration issue highlighted during the election may lead to increased funding and mission scope for agencies like CBP and ICE, benefiting WidePoint’s business. Jason Holloway, Chief Revenue Officer, added that the timing of their Mobile Anchor product is advantageous for supporting hybrid work environments with secure multifactor authentication.
