“Each day government agencies like the Internal Revenue Service, Federal Bureau of Investigation and the U.S. Navy process billions of mission-critical transactions with our innovative technologies,” said Tod Weber, CEO of Software AG Government Solutions. “Our customers represent every part of the federal landscape and we deliver cost-effective product offerings well suited for those with a specific focus on sensitive operations including security, safety and finance.”

“We prove the value of our solutions in the government environment before any major investments are made. This upfront effort enables the government to make an informed decision on whether to pursue a given solution based on facts and proven results,” Weber said. “There is no substitute for highly effective solutions and extremely talented personnel when addressing difficult budget challenges. We operate using a ‘special forces’ approach, sending in a small team of very talented experts who use our industry-leading solutions to get in quickly – make a positive impact – and enable our government customers and partners to benefit immediately from greater efficiency.”
