Jennifer Bauer
Founder, SteadyState Consulting LLC
Nearly 30 years in Nevada state government, including nearly a decade as Director of Finance and Operations at the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority (SPCSA).

For almost a decade, Jennifer served as Director of Finance and Operations at the Nevada State Public Charter School Authority (SPCSA), where she led the design and implementation of a Grants Management System still in daily use today, supporting 25+ grant programs and more than 50 subrecipients. She knows what it takes to run a grants office because she ran one.

That firsthand experience is exactly why this partnership works. IdealixAI builds the technology. SteadyState Consulting brings the operational perspective of someone who has sat on the other side of the desk, managing applications, awards, reimbursements, and compliance reporting under real state and federal requirements.

Why this matters

Grants administrators don't need another generic software vendor pitching features they've never used in the field. They need a system built by people who understand the daily reality of the work, and guidance from someone who's navigated that reality herself.

Jennifer works directly with agencies to:

Operational assessment
Assess how grants are currently managed, whether that's a mature system or a patchwork of spreadsheets, email, and shared folders.
Translating pain points
Translate real operational pain points into what the IdealixAI GMS actually solves.
System walk-through
Walk teams through what changed since the system she helped build at SPCSA, and what's new in this next generation.
A proven foundation

The same system, rebuilt for what's next.

The system Jennifer helped bring to life at SPCSA is the same foundation behind the IdealixAI GMS platform today, now rebuilt and expanded on Microsoft Dynamics 365.

The IdealixAI GMS is available through Carahsoft on the NASPO ValuePoint contract, so procurement timelines that once stood between agencies and a better system are largely removed.
