Topics in government technology
These posts cover important topics in government technology and highlight 18F’s work in these areas.
Improving government contracting and acquisition
Doing government contracting and acquisition better is not (just) about finding the cheapest way to do things.
The high stakes of government communication
What the public loses when they can't get clear, accurate, and accessible information from their government.
Keeping your personal data safe
Why government agencies don’t just share everything they know about you with every other government agency.
Accessibility as a core value
For 18F, accessibility wasn’t just a requirement for shipping but a core value in how we approached each project as well as working as a team.
Replacing legacy systems
Replacing outdated government systems isn’t just about upgrading technology. It’s a complex undertaking that should be approached responsibly. 18F developed effective and efficient methods for retiring and replacing legacy systems. We helped agencies modernize their systems while managing costs, dependencies, and risk. Learn about our approach to this critical work.
Working in the open
Transparency builds trust, fosters collaboration, and leads to better solutions. At 18F, transparency wasn’t just a buzzword — it was fundamental to how we worked. Learn how working in the open benefited our government partners, the public, and anyone building digital government services.
