PayIt Recognized as 2025 AWS Champion for Excellence in Government Cloud Innovation

Kansas City, Missouri, July 29, 2025 — PayIt, the leader in digital customer experience solutions for state and local governments, is pleased to announce it has been named a 2025 Amazon Web Services (AWS) Champion by the Center for Digital Government (CDG) and the Center for Digital Education (CDE) for its innovative use of cloud computing to transform how state and local agencies modernize service delivery, streamline revenue collection, and improve the resident experience.

“AWS Champions represent innovative thought leaders in the public sector, where visionary leadership meets cutting-edge cloud technology. These organizations aren’t satisfied with incremental improvements — they’re fundamentally reimagining how government and education institutions can better serve their communities. Their achievements inspire others and showcase what’s possible today!” said Kim Majerus, vice president of education and state and local government at AWS.

Built entirely on AWS GovCloud, PayIt empowers government organizations to go digital without large upfront costs or complex implementation timelines. PayIt’s all-in-one platform was designed from the ground up to serve the unique needs of state and local governments. The SOC 2-certified solution leverages a powerful suite of AWS services to deliver reliability, security, and flexibility at scale.

“At PayIt, we’re transforming how government works for the people. Partnering with AWS, we empower agencies to rapidly modernize operations and deliver essential services through a secure, unified digital platform. Being named a 2025 AWS Champion is an honor — and a testament to the innovation we drive together. We’re proud to collaborate with AWS to shape the future of public service, meeting the rising expectations of both residents and government leaders.” said Tom Nieto, president and chief operating officer at PayIt.

The annual CDG/CDE AWS Champions Awards program honors organizations that demonstrate exceptional leadership in using cloud computing to deliver better, faster, and more inclusive services in the public sector and education.
