Supporting the Federal Government Through Automation
Mission Ready Cloud
WHAT GOVERNMENT LOOKS FOR WHEN AUTOMATING
We understand that the governments mission is ever evolving in both scope and quantity. However, the mission does not wait, and the timeline shortens every day for the continuous fulfillment of that mission. The government must adopt a culture of eliminating of processes riddled with wasted cycles. The public expects the government to keep pace with the private sector in the delivery of services, and to exceed the capabilities of adversaries, both foreign and domestic. Those capabilities, at minimum, leverage the same commercially available automation systems, tools, and methodologies. Unfortunately, the automation space is vast with many disparate solutions that require an integrator to stitch all the solutions together, both on an application and infrastructure level.
As a result, the government faces a vast labor shortage of the people with qualifications and skillsets required to evolve the operational capabilities.

Workflow Automation Implementation
Given the massive cultural change required for the government to be successful in the new digitally transformed world, having a mentor and champion for government operational teams on their digital transformation journey is where we bring value. Through DevOps to a cloud-native state, where the toil has been minimized through automation, and more of the government’s use of taxpayer dollars are directly spent on the mission.
Each government agency has a tremendous number of activities and information that require their attention. Most government agencies do not have a clear direction of where to start, nor do they have the technical headcount required to digest the firehose of data being collected. We recommend starting with a focus on workstreams around the important, KPIs & SLAs, before the interesting business intelligence insights. It’s important to have a technology partner to assist in the implementation of automation through AI/ML to avoid the missed opportunities to further the mission and deadweight loss of carrying around unused data.
