We are partnership focused.

IDC provides a comprehensive set of services to states and, working in conjunction with states, to locals. Our approach to the delivery of these services centers on developing and maintaining strong relationships with states, which makes it possible for our highly skilled TA providers to deliver effective, state-centric TA services and products that tackle existing and emerging needs.

We understand.

Challenged by shifting federal and state landscapes and frequent staff turnover, we appreciate that states require individualized supports to effectively implement needed changes while fulfilling current responsibilities. Our team’s deep data quality and other content expertise, strengthened by the practical experience of TA providers, most of whom are former state and local staff, allow us to support states where they are, providing timely supports to address emerging challenges.

We prioritize innovative yet practical solutions.

We create and share practical and easy-to-use solutions that streamline processes and build capacity to address complex data issues. We share these solutions in our individualized work with state teams as well as in small, interactive groups, such as our peer-to-peer exchanges and workshops and, more broadly, through our national institutes, webinars, state-of-the-art website, and social media outreach efforts.
