What if digital accessibility were treated as a design requirement instead of a final compliance check? For federal technology, accessibility affects much more than the finished website or application. GSA's Section 508 guidance emphasizes addressing accessibility when agencies plan, acquire, build, and manage information and communications technology. Its acquisition guidance also calls for accessibility needs to be considered during market research, requirements development, evaluation, and acceptance. That changes the conversation. When accessibility enters late, teams may be forced to redesign interfaces, modify content, revisit requirements, or correct procurement decisions. When it begins early, accessibility can become part of how the solution is designed from the start. At what point in the technology lifecycle should accountability for accessibility begin, and who should own it? #DigitalAccessibility #Section508 #DigitalServices #FederalIT

Artificial intelligence can help federal agencies analyze information, automate routine work, and support faster decisions. But successful AI adoption begins before a model is selected or a new platform is introduced. Agencies first need data that is accurate, accessible, secure, and connected to a clear mission need. Fragmented systems, inconsistent definitions, and unclear ownership can limit an AI initiative before it reaches production. These issues can also make it harder to evaluate results, explain decisions, and maintain public trust. Data readiness is not only a technical challenge. It requires governance, security, acquisition planning, and agreement on how information will support the mission. Agencies that strengthen these foundations are better positioned to move beyond isolated pilots and build AI capabilities that can be managed, measured, and improved over time. Before expanding an AI program, leaders should ask a basic question: Is the organization prepared to trust, protect, and use the data that will power it? What data challenge should agencies address first when preparing for broader AI adoption? #FederalTechnology #ArtificialIntelligence #DataStrategy #GovCon

In today’s Center of Excellence post, we are highlighting our expertise with security innovations and automating processes. LiMA was a system developed by Gunnison for the US Census Bureau, used for listing and mapping activities. The system accommodated many program area requirements and was interfaced with other Census software. LiMA featured multiple innovative concepts, including automated processes to improve efficiency, application security testing, and leveraging tools for task automation. As a result, the customer experienced less risk of mistakes during the deployment process, saving time. In addition, automated performance testing and environment setup helped achieve continuous improvement and optimization. #Gunnison #GovCon #CenterofExcellence

In today’s Thought Leader Thursday, Gunnison Chief Financial Officer Dave Uehlinger shares his perspective on leadership approaches in complex federal environments. In federal work, complexity is the constant - shifting appropriations, contract mods, audit cycles, and changing customer priorities. The leadership approaches that hold up are the ones that reduce ambiguity rather than add process.  Three approaches are paramount to navigate this world:  First, leadership must translate strategy into a small number of measures (KPIs) every function can see themselves in — for my team, monthly forecasting, contract-level performance, utilization, indirect rate health, and cash conversion. Contracts, HR, Recruiting, Accounting, and FP&A all have meaningful impact on those numbers.  Second, leaders separate what's controllable from what isn't. Teams lose focus when they're focusing on anxiety about a CR or a protest they can't influence; leaders should name the external noise, then redirect the team’s attention back to the fundamentals:  execution quality and compliance discipline - these are within our control.  Third, treat compliance as a shared language throughout all the organization, not simply a finance function. When program managers understand why a cost is allowable, how our indirect rates affect competitiveness, or how to thoughtfully manage the profit of their contracts, then decisions get better further upstream and results in more conversations that drive strategy, not just operations. #ThoughtLeaderThursday #Gunnison #GovCon

In today’s Talent Brief, Gunnison Senior Director of Talent Acquisition Alex S. shares his insight on how organizations can make the hiring process more efficient while maintaining the candidate experience. “Organizations can make the hiring process more efficient without sacrificing the candidate experience by looking inward, particularly at inter-team or interdepartmental processes. How can feedback during all steps of the assessment process be gathered more quickly? How can we reduce the number of interview steps? How can we reduce the time between a hiring decision and the candidate receiving a formal offer? Asking these types of questions can make the hiring process far more efficient without candidates seeing any change in their interactions with the organization.” Check back in each month to see what else our Talent Acquisition team has to share. #Gunnison #TalentAcquisition #GovCon
