Within the United States Government, the General Services Administration (GSA) promotes management best practices and efficient government operations through the development of government-wide policies. It performs a variety of duties in support of government agencies and its mission is to deliver the best value in real estate, acquisition and technology services to government and the American people.
Most of us do not associate government with best practices or efficiency. But the GSA turns this perception on its head by taking a leading-edge approach in implementation of some key IT systems, assisted by a team led by Nirmal Mehta, Booz Allen Hamilton. In fact, the innovative way the General Services Administration (GSA) has implemented DevOps practices and Docker technology puts them ahead of many commercial organizations.
