SmartBase

A secure, compliant cloud platform for IT innovation

The need for mission-focused innovation in government has never been greater, and the promise of modern technology has never been more in reach. Yet, efficiently embracing emerging cloud technologies and developing necessary solutions at speed and scale remains a real and persistent challenge.

Too often, our clients face internal technology landscapes that, by necessity, were never holistically designed for rapid innovation. Despite ongoing modernizations, forward-leaning work can be hindered by a maze of legacy systems patched together over decades in response to ever-changing mandates. The added complexity of compliance in highly regulated environments can make 鈥渇ailing fast and forward鈥� too risky to fully embrace within agency confines. These realities result in costly, time-consuming development delays that strain developer morale while keeping agencies from realizing the full benefit of modern solutions. SmartBase (Smart 蘑菇视频 Allen Solutioning Environment) cuts to the heart of these challenges.听

SmartBase: Modern, Isolated Testing and Development Environment

As an end-to-end, off-the-shelf, isolated landing zone for pre-production development and testing, SmartBase can be precisely configured to the needs of a specific mission within days or weeks as opposed to the many months required by traditional solutions in this space.听听
