Many government agencies rely on critical applications running on legacy systems, which is highlighted in a 2023 report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO). These applications are typically monolithic, built on outdated technologies that necessitate workarounds, lack scalability, and incur escalating operational costs. The GAO report identified numerous federal IT legacy systems in urgent need of modernization. To address these challenges, Booz Allen Hamilton, an AWS Partner, offers innovative solutions using multi-tenant architectures. This post delves into one such mission-critical application developed for a large-scale federal agency, showcasing how modern cloud technologies can transform legacy government systems.

Government agencies are moving to speed up service delivery, but agencies need to obtain an Authority to Operate (ATO) that demonstrates security compliance prior to implementation, which can take a significant amount of time and can prove to be a challenge in meeting tight deadlines. AWS Partner Booz Allen Hamilton (Booz Allen) uses a platform as a service model on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to enable their customers to rapidly build, test, scan, and deploy their applications — accelerating releases in the federal government from months to days.
