How Governments Can Transition to Controllable, Open-Source Digital Solutions
Share
Is the government agency you work for finally ready to replace an antiquated but critical piece of custom software? Are you already collaborating with a technical partner to do so? Either way, check out this video of our recent GovCon 2024 talk. You’ll get a deep-dive into the most relevant challenges facing the modernization of legacy government technologies, as well as our takeaways from undertaking these types of projects.
We provide real-world examples from working with the Metropolitan Transport Commission. Their site, 511.org, shares transportation information with services such as Google Maps, along with over 7.7 million residents and visitors of the San Francisco Bay Area. It had been relying on an increasingly unstable and unmaintainable proprietary system for gathering upstream data. It failed regularly, causing major, costly outages. All stakeholder groups were negatively impacted.
Watch our story to see how you can successfully replace a legacy application with a maintainable, expandable open-source platform. We share tactics for evaluating and selecting technologies, and provide project management considerations to help you adapt in real time to the fast-changing needs of stakeholders.
If you have any feedback or questions about our presentation, get in touch with Sean or Andrew.
Sean Lehane
Why have we affectionately nicknamed our talented TPM, Sean, “The King”? It could be reflective of his expert leadership across both products and projects, which began when he built and sold his first website at 13. Though, we may have been inspired by his very regal desk chair and proficiency in Latin and Ancient Greek. Either way, he wields his power with humor and grace, leaving a trail of success and delight in his wake.
Andrew Mallis
If you’ve encountered Kalamuna, you’ve likely experienced genuine care and expert guidance that starts with our thoughtful CEO and cofounder, Andrew. Along with an infinite stockpile of dad jokes, he brings his background in visual arts and activism to his work – leading us to drive great missions further.
