“Unlock Civilian Government Efficiency with FedMake: Meeting Missions with No/Low Code”

FedMake Focus on Civilian Government: Meeting Missions with No/Low Code
Introduction
In today’s digital-first world, Federal agencies are increasingly tasked with meeting mission requirements faster, more cost-effectively, and with greater agility than ever before. To keep up with the pace of innovation, many agencies are turning to no- or low-code solutions that increase development speed and reduce the need for manual coding. This blog will discuss the advantages of no- and low-code solutions for civilian government and how Microsoft’s Fed Make program has helped agencies utilize these tools to meet their mission objectives.

Benefits of No- and Low-Code Solutions for Civilian Government
No- and low-code solutions offer a number of benefits for civilian government. They enable agencies to rapidly develop and deploy applications, create custom solutions quickly, and reduce the need for manual coding. This helps to improve efficiency and reduce the time to market for new applications and services. Additionally, no- and low-code solutions can help agencies to reduce costs associated with development, as they require fewer resources to create and maintain applications. Finally, these solutions are highly scalable, allowing agencies to quickly expand or contract their solutions as needed.

Microsoft’s Fed Make Program
Microsoft’s Fed Make program provides agencies with the tools and resources they need to quickly and cost-effectively develop applications using no- and low-code solutions. The program provides support for a wide range of no- and low-code solutions, including Power Platform, Microsoft Azure, Azure DevOps, and Microsoft Teams, as well as access to a number of other tools and services. Additionally, the program provides a wide range of resources for agencies to utilize, including templates and tutorials for quickly developing applications, as well as access to a community of experts who can provide guidance and support throughout the development process.

Case Studies
A number of agencies have utilized the Fed Make program to quickly and cost-effectively develop applications using no- and low-code solutions. For example, the Department of Education utilized Microsoft’s Power Platform to quickly develop a solution to track student loan repayment. The solution allowed the agency to quickly develop and deploy the application, reducing the time to market for the solution and allowing the agency to better serve its constituents. Additionally, the Department of Veterans Affairs used the program to develop a solution to streamline the claims process. The solution enabled the agency to quickly develop and deploy the application, reducing the time to market for the solution and reducing costs associated with the development and maintenance of the application.

Conclusion
No- and low-code solutions offer a number of benefits for civilian government, allowing agencies to rapidly develop and deploy applications, create custom solutions quickly, and reduce the need for manual coding. Microsoft’s Fed Make program provides agencies with the tools and resources they need to quickly and cost-effectively develop applications using no- and low-code solutions. A number of agencies have utilized the program to quickly and cost-effectively develop applications, including the Department of Education and the Department of Veterans Affairs. By utilizing no- and low-code solutions, agencies are able to meet their mission requirements faster, more cost-effectively, and with greater agility.
