Dcode Announces DevOps Program to Support Government Digital Transformation

WASHINGTON, July 7, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The government-focused accelerator Dcode announced it is accepting applications for a new program designed to change the way government builds technology. This summer, Dcode will accept 6-10 companies with Developer Tool and Platform solutions for a three month program to increase the speed of adoption of these emerging technologies inside the government. The new program is opening on the heels of Dcode's A.I and Machine Learning program, in which seven companies with a combined $63M in venture capital funding will graduate.

"With tightening budgets, and ever increasing expectations from citizens, government agencies are faced with no choice but to embrace digital transformation and DevOps." says Dcode founder Meagan Metzger. "Leveraging better platforms and processes brings faster execution, increased functionality, and the ability to meet mission-critical problems, such as combating terrorism." says Metzger

Core to this transformation is incorporating developer tools into government. As example, the General Services Administration recently authorized the first fully open-sourced platform-as-a-service that supports agencies' development and maintenance of websites and applications. When government agencies take advantage of the latest technology, they can provide better services and make better use of our tax dollars.

During Dcode's selective three month program, accepted companies have access to an expert-led curriculum, strategic planning, and guidance for entering the federal market. The program also includes meetings with federal agencies and numerous industry experts which guide participants through the maze of the federal government.

The deadline for the upcoming cohort is July 17. Companies that wish to apply can visit https://dcode.co/apply/.

How to apply for Dcode DevOps.
The program is designed for companies with:

• Traction in the federal market, but in earlier stages of standing up a government practice. These companies may have a few contracts or a dedicated Federal team.
• Established commercial success, but new to the Federal government looking to succeed quickly.
