Why Government Entities Need Custom Software Development
Government entities – whether at the civic, state, or federal level – are unique in that they have to account for a myriad of factors that private businesses don’t traditionally have to face.
Intensive security requirements, extensive bidding processes, and careful vetting mean only a handful of software developers are qualified. And the ones that are must be able to offer a diverse array of solutions.
Common Types of Government Software
Every government entity has its own unique needs and applications. Popular technologies used by government entities include Python,Java, C#, Javascript, SQL, HTML, jQuey, sql-server, C++, and CSS. State and local governments often need software that’s able to perform functions like:
Collecting and sharing data with the public
Uncovering opportunities for improving operations
Planning and forecasting for budgeting purposes
Careful financial reporting
Administrative reporting
Real-time monitoring of revenue, expenses and transactions
State agencies and departments that benefit from custom government software include:
Many of the cookie-cutter software solutions that private companies and organizations use will not work in government settings. They must be tailored to unique and complex requirements. And if the solution can’t be customized to the degree that it’s needed, a proprietary solution must be created from scratch.
