APPLICATION SERVICES

Groundswell delivers mission-critical Application Services that drive continuous modernization for federal agencies. Our approach emphasizes consuming best-in-class, cloud-delivered commercial technologies rather than building custom solutions from scratch. This model reduces technical debt, accelerates time-to-value, and ensures agencies stay aligned with evolving mission requirements.

Consume, Don’t Build: Reducing Technical Debt

Federal agencies face growing technical debt as legacy systems age and custom solutions become harder to maintain. Groundswell was designed for this moment – enabling agencies to modernize through a consume vs. build approach. By leveraging cloud-delivered commercial technologies, Groundswell empowers agencies to adopt secure, scalable solutions that evolve continuously.

Why It Matters:

  • Faster Modernization: Rapid adoption of proven, secure solutions with minimal customization.
  • Reduced Risk & Cost: Eliminate expensive custom builds and avoid lengthy development cycles.
  • Continuous Innovation: Access to commercial technology advancements as they’re introduced.

“Custom is not necessary for most business systems – consuming cloud-delivered platforms accelerates modernization and reduces cost.”
