Deloitte and Dcode Renew Partnership to Drive Tech Innovation in Federal Market

Deloitte | January 14, 2021

Today Deloitte and Dcode announced a restored yearly collaboration to bring top arising tech from the private area to government offices.

Through Dcode's governmentally engaged quickening agent for arising tech and set-up of government contributions to improve mission results, Deloitte draws in with forefront tech organizations and forward-inclining government pioneers to encourage matchmaking, joining openings, and enduring upgrades to the public authority's tech stack.

"The emerging tech ecosystem can be a powerful source of innovation for government agencies. We're excited to continue working with Dcode to help tech companies apply solutions to government missions and accelerate transformative value for our clients," said Mike Isman, Managing Director, Deloitte Consulting LLP.

The U.S. government has the chance to put a portion of the $90 billion dollars spent on tech in FY2021 towards acquiring the best arising tech organizations. Exploring and confirming the correct business tech arrangements that are prepared to scale in the government market is critical to surveying danger and preparing tech organizations to succeed.

"We work with emerging tech companies, the U.S. government, and key collaborators like Deloitte to bring top tech onto contract and into government missions," said Dcode CEO Meagan Metzger. "If government contractors, systems integrators and other firms can get better commercial tech onto federal contracts then it will drive substantive government innovation in this shifting landscape."

As Dcode works out its local area stage, Nexus, in light of expanding request from arising tech organizations, funding speculators, and the U.S. government, Deloitte will be a central member in supporting the development of the public authority advancement environment.
