In most of my interviews, I sit down with a company and talk about innovation in solving federal technology goals. Today, a twist.

Sonny Hashmi was at the center of the battle for improving federal technology. For the past three years, he was the Commissioner of the Federal Acquisition Service at the GSA. This has given him a unique perspective on what the bottlenecks are in streamlining federal technology.

He dealt face-to-face with issues like Zero Trust, remote work, and digital innovation. After looking at a myriad of issues, he decided that the way to apply Occam’s law to federal technology was to reduce the complexity of software development.

Sonny Hashmi explains that 80% of the technology budget is spent on maintaining systems. This means continuous monitoring, patching, and applying new compliance regulations. His approach to solving the problem is to start at the beginning, software development itself.

The solution is quite simple:  adopt a codeless method that allows a wider range of people to work with legacy systems, rapid application, and compliance.

During the interview, Sonny Hashmi details some problems he has seen. He talks about everything from struggles with ATO to end-of-life application management.

Listen to the interview to learn how the Unqork approach can assist in many aspects of the major digital transformation the federal government is undergoing.
