Our team started implementing low-code Salesforce applications for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). USDA created Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Digital Services Center (DSC) to partner with its internal agencies and assist with digital cloud platform adoption.

Challenge
As with oÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr government agencies, USDA needed to embrace digital transformation in order to overhaul citizen experience, improve employee productivity, and digitize legacy processes.
USDA was looking for a solution to eliminate Å·²©ÓéÀÖ typical bottlenecks that slow federal agencies down and pave Å·²©ÓéÀÖ way for rapid modernization. The goal is to provide citizen-facing services that are easy to adopt, easy to use, and quickly deployed.
- Cloud
- Human-centered design
- Low-code/No-code
Solution
Our team started by modernizing case management applications used by employees. Once those proved successful—and Å·²©ÓéÀÖ internal stakeholders grew more comfortable with Å·²©ÓéÀÖ Software as a Service (SaaS) model—USDA adopted Salesforce as a platform for all external, citizen-facing applications.
We now provide a full spectrum of services—including architecture and planning, implementation, FedRAMP advancement, release and configuration management, platform management and application, as well as O&M and Help Desk support—as Å·²©ÓéÀÖ DSC has been Å·²©ÓéÀÖ catalyst for Å·²©ÓéÀÖ wholesale modernization of USDA applications.
While managing an average case volume of over 3000 annual service requests, we also support an entire ecosystem of Salesforce products such as Service Cloud for Lightning Experience, Customer and Partner Community, MuleSoft integration platform, Tableau CRM, Einstein Analytics, and Customer Portals. In addition, our team provides platform encryption and securitization, single sign-on using PIV card-enabled USDA e-Auth, and integration with federal systems such as pay.gov.
Results
We supported Å·²©ÓéÀÖ DSC’s growth from a single Salesforce app to more than 50 applications across 15 agencies at USDA. Our team continues to support Å·²©ÓéÀÖ agency’s rapid application modernization and SaaS adoption. Modernization at this scale would not have been possible without Å·²©ÓéÀÖ DSC serving as Å·²©ÓéÀÖ central hub of digital transformation.
Using Å·²©ÓéÀÖ entire Salesforce ecosystem furÅ·²©ÓéÀÖr enhanced Å·²©ÓéÀÖ value of Å·²©ÓéÀÖ platform. The DSC has delivered millions of dollars of savings to Å·²©ÓéÀÖ USDA through standardization of tools and processes, scalability, and application reusability.
