Someone who can play many roles on your team, be a leader, a motivator and an individual whom other employees look up to. They are typically the cornerstone of your team, a leader not in title but in action. They are self-driven and not only see your vision and strategy, but often influence others in the implementation of that strategy.

Serverless architecture is not a new concept in government IT, but it is in the early phases of adoption. When it comes to computer models, it’s an upcoming trend to keep an eye on. Despite its name, a serverless architecture does require servers. After all, applications need a place to run. However, a serverless architecture differs from server-based architectures because it is managed by a cloud service provider, such as Amazon Web Services (AWS), Google, or Microsoft Azure.

The Nuts and Bolts As most federal contractors are aware, unlike commercial contracts, federal contractors may challenge solicitation defects or contract award decisions made by the government through the bid protest process. Although protests at GAO and the Court of Federal Claims receive most of the attention due to the fact that their decisions are ultimately made public (at least in part), another forum also exists for disappointed offerors: protests made directly to the agency.

As federal agencies work towards a zero-trust environment, identity verification becomes critical. Users be able to verify their information before entering the network, and they will need assistance in protecting those credentials. Captured credentials remain the most efficient and undetected technique for compromising an enterprise, and well-designed identity and access management (IAM) programs are a critical barrier against these threats.

The government workforce tends to get a bad rap, which makes it hard for agencies to recruit and retain employees. Case in point: As of June 2022, 100% of the private sector had recovered jobs lost during the pandemic, but only 55% of the public sector had. One of the problems is that government workers have for too long let people who are not civil servants define what it means to be one, said Traci DiMartini, Chief Human Capital Officer (CHCO) at the General Services Administration (GSA).
