Our most popular publication is the free methodology "Enterprise Focused Development" which explains how government can build intergrated computer systems very cheaply and quickly, that are better than most purchased or in-house software systems through prioritization of enterprisie conntectivity of every data table.
The core direction of government IT is going the wrong way. The reason is a misunderstanding of how to build software, and lack of insight into the real mechanism for delivering IT services. Enterprise Focused Development is a profound concept outlining how to build software quickly, with high quality and interpoerability. Massive costs are not necesary to build large IT projects. The metholology not only describes how to build software cheaply and quickly, it provides deep insight into how to run an IT department.
