WITHOUT DEVSQUAD

Guess what works

Other software development companies will accept your assumptions at face value without diving into real user requests and feedback.

icon

Wait 18 months or longer

Most agencies love pitching and building massive apps so they can lock you into big contracts. The result is complex software and long timelines.

icon

Use out-of-date technology

Choose the wrong software development firm, and you could wind up with the wrong technology. Don’t get stuck with frameworks that are on their way out.

icon

Continue to operate on assumptions

Most software development agencies do not validate ideas initially—let alone throughout the partnership. Everything you build will be a guess.

WITH DEVSQUAD

Validate before building

Our process for government software development

Every project kicks off with a focus on the user.

STEP 1

Product Strategy

We offer Design Sprints inspired by Google’s own product strategy process. Whether you’re building a new app or bringing an outdated platform into the modern age, we provide thorough product strategy to ensure that the app meets real user needs in the best possible way.

Image

STEP 2

Prototyping & Testing

Once we have the perfect concept for Version 1 of your product, our UX/UI designers craft a prototype. We then share this prototype with your team and real users to get their feedback on the design and whether or not it meets their needs. We reiterate the prototype before moving on to development.

Image

STEP 3

Version 1 Development

Once the prototype is validated, it’s time to build. We launch Version 1 of your new software or the first phase of your modernization project as quickly as possible. This way, users can start interacting with the most critical features and we can collect even more user feedback.

Image

STEP 4

Continuous Improvement

By the time Version 1 is launched, we’re already hard on work on the next sprint. Discovery and delivery sprints run concurrently with the appropriate collaborators so that our development team always has validated features and upgrades to work on. You can rest easy knowing that new ideas get vetted.

Frequently asked questions about software development for governments

What should government agencies look for in a software development company?

Switcher

Government agencies should seek out a software development partner that uses agile development to phase out projects strategically and respond to changing demands. At the end of the day, what really matters is the end user, whether that’s a citizen or government official. Be sure to choose a company that has proven processes in place to discover the needs of users and ensure that the software project meets them in a straightforward, cost-effective way.

What are the best software development frameworks for government applications?

Switcher

Laravel and Node.js are our top picks for the backend. React and Vue.js are our favorites for the front end. For mobile, we opt for React Native. These tools enable government agencies to bring ideas to life, collaborate efficiently, and deliver exceptional products.

What is software modernization?

Switcher

Software modernization refers to the process of improving an existing application with modern architecture, framework, and design. Software modernization not only keeps users happy, but it often results in lower maintenance costs and faster innovation—as technology is no longer a hindrance. Occasionally, a platform can be lifted and shifted from an outdated framework to something more future-proof. But more often, old-school applications need to undergo a complete redesign. They usually need an updated strategy, product roadmap, UX design, and fresh development to truly meet current user needs.
