Software plays a pivotal role in the functioning of government agencies. However, traditional software procurement, budgeting, and oversight processes often lead to failure and overspending. The average government IT project costs 310% of the original price tag, with major government software projects failing a significant majority of the time. As more and more agencies rely on software to carry out their missions, taking control of the procurement process is crucial. This will not only reduce the risk of failure, but also ensure that governments retain control over its mission rather than outsourcing it along with its software contracts.
U.S. Digital Response (USDR) has deep experience with helping agencies realign their procurement, budgeting, and oversight processes to take control over major software projects. We collaborate with your stakeholders to teach them about modern software development and procurement practices that will prioritize serving your agency’s needs.
