How Does SIPA Operate?
SIPA was established in 2004 by Senate Bill 04-244 to serve other Colorado governments. As an independent, self-funded government, we generate revenue through partnerships, primarily with our lead technology partner, and through the sale of licenses and professional services. This model allows us to offer competitive, industry-leading solutions. Our unique approach creates a virtuous cycle: the revenue we generate is reinvested into Colorado’s digital future through grant programs and support for government technology projects. This self-sustaining model enables us to continually advance our mission of transforming Colorado’s government services, benefiting both our government customers and the residents they serve.
