With decades of reliance on legacy systems, government officials have faced growing inefficiencies, vulnerabilities, and technical debt. As this debt accumulates, agencies are increasingly constrained by outdated, custom-developed systems that cannot keep pace with today's digital demands. Civix's SaaS products, developed specifically for state and local governments, offer a more sustainable solution.

"We're excited to welcome Jason," said Phillip Braithwaite, CEO of Civix. "His expertise in cloud architecture and continuous delivery enhances our ability to meet the growing demand for SaaS solutions. As government agencies look to replace legacy systems, Jason will help ensure we're delivering reliable, scalable solutions that never fall out of date."

Baker brings more than 25 years of experience as a technology leader, educator, and entrepreneur. With a focus on cloud-native platforms and DevOps practices, he has a proven track record of improving software development speed and product stability. His extensive experience includes modernizing infrastructure and addressing security risks, particularly in highly regulated industries. He has also been a respected industry mentor, advancing the next generation of cloud technology leaders.

In his new role at Civix, Baker will establish cloud development practices that accelerate time-to-market while maintaining the high standards of security and compliance that government clients require.

"I'm excited to join Civix at a time when the company is poised to lead the next wave of innovation in government technology," said Baker. "Government agencies are under increasing pressure to modernize their systems, and cloud-native, SaaS-based solutions are key to enabling them to do so efficiently and cost-effectively."

This appointment is part of Civix's broader strategy to evolve its SaaS capabilities. With the addition of Baker, Civix positions itself to lead the industry's shift away from custom-developed products that fall out of date and toward scalable, secure, cloud-hosted solutions that support long-term system modernization.
