NEW YORK and RESTON, Va., Feb. 3,
2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Yext, Inc. (NYSE: YEXT), the
Search Experience Cloud company, and Carahsoft Technology Corp.,
The Trusted Government IT Solutions Provider®, today announced a
collaboration to help government agencies harness the power of
search to provide better access to information as they prepare to
distribute the COVID-19 vaccine to constituents. Carahsoft will
serve as Yext's Master Government Aggregator® and make the search
company's leading Answers product available through Carahsoft's
NASA Solutions for Enterprise-Wide Procurement (SEWP) V and
National Association of State Procurement Officials (NASPO)
ValuePoint contracts and through Carahsoft's reseller partners.
"Since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic, people have been
flocking to government websites with questions about testing,
safety precautions, repatriation information, and much more. As
vaccine distribution accelerates, we can expect another surge in
questions," said Brian Distelburger,
Co-Founder, President, and Chief Operating Officer at Yext.
"Providing answers quickly and accurately has never been more
important, and we're honored to team up with Carahsoft at such a
pivotal moment in history."
"As government agencies plan their digital strategies around the
COVID-19 vaccine, providing constituents with easy access to
accurate information is critical," said Lorin Krzywicki, Sales Manager for the Yext team
at Carahsoft. "As we've seen from Yext's initiatives with
government agencies and other public sector organizations, advanced
search technology is critical for distributing vital information at
scale. We look forward to empowering government agencies and our
reseller partners with this cutting-edge search tool from
Yext."
Yext's collaboration with Carahsoft marks a new way for the
search company to provide its services to government agencies.
Within the span of 60 days last year, Yext worked with entities
from the WHO to the States of New
Jersey and Alabama to build
custom information hubs so they could deliver accurate, up-to-date
facts about the virus. One of these info hubs, covid19.nj.gov, has
been visited about 34 million times by more than 19 million users,
garnering almost 900,000 weekly visits on average.
Yext's search solutions are available to the public sector
through Carahsoft's SEWP V contracts NNG15SC03B and NNG15SC27B and
NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement #AR2472. To learn more, visit
