Agencies seeking to improve customer experience face multiple hurdles — some that start long before direct interaction with constituents. “Legacy technology debt, and almost as importantly, legacy IT approaches, are core challenges,” said Matt Barry, Chief Operating Officer, HP Federal.

Many government employees seem to be wired differently. They aren’t looking for big bucks. They’re not interested in attention or power. They’re not necessarily all that political. They just want to make a difference. Over the last 30 years I’ve talked with many govies who knew they could command more money and gain more upward mobility in the private sector but had no interest in making the switch.

However, relying on outdated and inefficient systems like emails, spreadsheets, and shared drives can hinder efficiency and impede progress. To address these challenges, it is essential to modernize procurement technology.

After the recent disclosure that a young airman leaked classified documents online, the federal government is once again dealing with the reality that bad actors inside and outside agencies are intent on sharing national secrets. That fact alone is enough to keep security leaders up at night. Couple it with a less hostile but equally destructive ongoing threat, and you have a full-blown nightmare scenario.

What is Measuring Productivity? Productivity measurement tells you how well you’re doing. But it’s challenging to gauge in the public sector, where the goals are complex and quantitative measures cannot always reflect the values of an agency’s mission and public service. So, effective measurement in government has a qualitative component. And that requires creative thinking about what outcomes are important and how to calculate them.

This month’s bid protest roundup focuses on two decisions from the U.S. Court of Federal Claims (“Court”) and one decision from the U.S. Government Accountability Office (“GAO”). These decisions involve (1) the Court’s determination that, based on the facts, inconsistencies in an offeror’s proposed labor hours were clerical errors that should be resolved through clarifications, (2) the importance of reading a solicitation as a whole and not raising arguments previously conceded in a GAO protest,

Do you have a first aid kit in your office? I am sure you have probably participated in first aid training in your life. For example, when I was in the Boy Scouts, I trained other Scouts in first aid. Thankfully, I’ve had to treat only the occasional bruise or slight cut. The first aid I learned as a teenager have also helped me with project management.

Agencies need tools in place to support faster, automated software deployments if they want to keep pace with evolving technology and government requirements. DevOps was barely on the government’s radar 20 years ago, with a typical agency’s development teams working in silos, handling single applications at a time. This was highly inefficient, as all processes — including monitoring, testing and development — had to be done manually.

A core principle of good customer experience (CX) is knowing your audience and what you want from it. Are you interested in how people experienced a government service, for instance, or do you want more general input on public perceptions of an agency? Effective CX also recognizes that “constituents” are not always people — they can be businesses, nonprofits and other entities an agency’s mission affects — and that English isn’t always their primary language.

Many government agencies have come to rely on Twitter to get information out — especially time-dependent notices, from snow days and street closings to flood warnings and Amber alerts. But recent changes in Twitter policies, as well as the platform’s technical stability, have left some agencies looking for alternatives, such as Mastodon and Bluesky , and leaning more heavily on old standbys like Facebook and Instagram.

In a recent AWS Marketplace/GovLoop survey, 48% of respondents said they expect cloud software investments for their organization to increase in the next two years.
