SaaS case study: How the Department of Veteran Affairs modernized financial disclosure
The VA capitalized on the success of a small IT project focused on solving a specific technical problem preventing 150 SGEs from filing financial disclosure forms – and used it to modernize the entire process for 13,000 filers and 5,000 supervisors enterprise-wide The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) sometimes employs outside experts. This category of personnel is known as Special Government Employees (SGEs). They are usually employed for 130 days or less and work on specific projects that require their specialized knowledge. SGEs usually maintain outside connections during their special employment – and for good reason. Many put their full-time jobs on hold until a given VA project is complete. Because they maintain these connections, they are required to comply with stringent ethics rules, such as financial disclosure. Any federal employee, including SGEs, who has influence over budget decisions is required to disclose personal financial holdings. These assets are reviewed […]
5 customer experience metrics for savvy federal agencies to prove the value of CX
Here are easy-to-understand explanations of top metrics the federal government can use to measure the success of its investment in CX by Intelliworx Customer experience (CX) is one of those trends that happened gradually over time but feels like it happened overnight. The sudden interest is anything but sudden. The government has seized this trend with vigor and for good reason: technology should enable things to run more efficiently and effectively. For example, merely turning the tens of thousands of government paper forms into a PDF format, is applying analog thinking to a digital world. The static nature of a PDF means every form has to accommodate all possibilities – even if the possibility doesn’t apply to the person filling out the form. This is, in part, behind what OPM calls a “time tax.” By contrast, dynamic forms only ask for the information needed – a recognition that form is […]
SBA certifies Intelliworx as a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB)
Intelliworx CEO Rob Hankey served as a rotary wing pilot in the Army, a later as a flight test engineer; both experiences had a profound influence on his venture into SaaS and technology by Intelliworx The Small Business Administration (SBA) has certified Intelliworx as a service-disabled veteran-owned small business (SDVOSB). This makes the company “eligible to compete for sole-source and set-aside contracts,” according to the SBA. “At least 5% of all federal contracting dollars each year are set aside specifically for certified SDVOSBs,” the agency says on its website. There are other similar designations that “can also compete for contracts under other qualifying socio-economic programs.” To qualify for certification, businesses must meet certain requirements for both veteran ownership – and a service-connected disability. Intelliworx has long been accredited as a veteran-owned small business (VOSB) through the same program, however, the service-disabled designation is new. To be sure, Intelliworx has earned […]
The 7 most-read posts on the Intelliworx government and healthcare blog in 2024
CX, predictions for government technology next year, telework and government modernization are among the most popular blog posts we published in 2025 by Intelliworx This year is the first year we’ve made a real effort to weigh in with our thinking on government technology. We also began our first venture into developing software for private-sector healthcare facilities in rural areas – to address the talent crunch. In total, we published 32 blog posts about government and healthcare. That’s a good start for the first year and we wanted to see which ones were most popular. So, for our final post of 2024, here are the most-read posts on the Intelliworx blog, based on a review of reader analytics. Number 7: Government and citizens stand to gain from CX improvements Martha Dorris says good customer experience (CX) is a ‘patriotic’ initiative that provides better service and enables the government to run […]
Year in Review: 10 Milestones Intelliworx Achieved in 2024
Intelliworx reached 39 ‘authorizations to operate’ this year, secured a 100% customer renewal rate, and launched new software solutions, among other accomplishments over the last 12 months by Intelliworx This year has been one of the most successful years for Intelliworx in our 20-year history. We’re very proud of our team and what we’ve accomplished. While we spend the bulk of our time on this blog dedicated to exploring informative topics (i.e. government modernization, digital transformation, CX and etc.) that we think are helpful to our customers – we hope you’ll excuse us if we indulge in a short victory lap. Below are some of the actions and outcomes that made this year a milestone in our company’s history. 1. Earned 100% customer renewal Winning customer renewals is different in the government space. Solution providers in the private sector merely have to convince a customer to renew annually. Customers may […]
Year in review: 20 government tech statistics and numbers that summarize 2024
Federal employee engagement, IT modernization, AI, FedRAMP, CX and telework are among the technology issues summarized in numbers by Intelliworx Numbers are excellent tools for reflection. However accurate or faulty the human interpretation, a number on its own is agnostic. To put it another way, a number alone isn’t inherently good or bad – it just is – it’s just a number. As such, a numbers-driven post is a sound addition to our year-end roundup series. We’ve culled through the dozens of posts we’ve published this year to look back over the numbers. We’ve also done the same with several trade publications that cover the government space looking for such numbers. Below is what we found – it’s effectively a review of the past year in government technology – as expressed by numbers. 1. Federal employees report record engagement (73 of 100) Civil servants gave their employers high marks […]

The software, which is better known as FDonline provides a simple and effective means for the VA to meet government ethics and compliance requirements for financial disclosure. “Federal agencies manage significant budgets and history shows the temptation to influence procurement decisions that yield personal gain is always a potential risk,” said Intelliworx CEO Rob Hankey. “While the vast majority of federal employees are patriotic citizens dutifully carrying out the will of their nation, government ethics offices provide taxpayers with vital safeguards against […]
10 predictions for government technology in 2025
From CX and business process – to telework and the impact of managing technology infrastructure on continuing resolutions – predictions are part forecast and part aspiration by Intelliworx If we set accuracy aside for a moment, if there’s one thing humans do well it’s making predictions. Our brains absorb inputs from our five senses and try to predict what will happen next and how we should feel or act. When things don’t match our prediction, that is our brain’s expectations, we respond with emotions like joy, anger and fear. This means predictions are a physiological part of humanity. It’s fitting then that at the year’s end, we might take a step back and think about our predictions for the next year, 2025. Often such predictions are part forecast and part aspiration. In some ways, predictions are what we hope will happen, based on current information. In both cases, it’s an […]
What does “government workflow software” mean?
Workflow is the efficient orchestration of multi-stakeholder actions needed to complete a business process effectively; it facilitates productivity, accountability and transparency by Intelliworx Innovation brings us two things at once: new tools and terminology. By definition, things that are new haven’t been described before and so merit a new name. Such is the case with the term “workflow” as in “government workflow software.” As a solution provider with a 20-year history of providing software to the government, we too have adopted the term and so have an obligation to explain it. What is workflow? One way to understand buzzy new terms is to break them down to their roots. Workflow describes a shared understanding of how a process, procedure or task, transpires or flows toward completion. The more intricate the process, or the more people involved, the more complicated the flow of work becomes. “Workflow in an orchestration of activities, […]
