Government & Public Sector

Custom Software Engineering & Modernization for Government & Public Sector Agencies

We build WCAG-compliant citizen portals, secure inter-agency API middleware, and automated permitting platforms to eliminate administrative backlogs, modernize legacy systems, and protect public data.

FlipWorks engineers custom software solutions for state and local government agencies, municipalities, and public sector organizations. We integrate legacy enterprise systems, GIS spatial platforms, and secure citizen service portals to streamline public permitting, accelerate FOIA fulfillment, and enforce strict accessibility standards. By modernizing mainframe databases, automating inter-agency workflows, and implementing NIST-aligned cybersecurity controls, our engineering teams help public administrators eliminate paper backlogs, improve constituent transparency, and deliver dependable digital services.

  • How do you ensure public sector applications comply with Section 508 and WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility?

    We build interfaces using semantic HTML5, explicit ARIA tags, high-contrast palettes, and full keyboard navigation. We validate code using screen readers like NVDA and JAWS alongside automated testing tools like axe-core, ensuring citizens with sensory, motor, or cognitive impairments can access public services independently.

  • Can custom government software integrate with legacy mainframes without full system replacement?

    Yes. We build secure API middleware and database adapters that interface directly with legacy mainframes, COBOL applications, and proprietary databases. Staging tables and RESTful wrappers allow agencies to launch modern citizen portals while preserving core historical records and avoiding high migration costs.

  • How do you maintain data security and access governance across public agency systems?

    We implement NIST SP 800-53 security controls, authenticating users via SAML 2.0, OAuth2, or PIV/CAC smart card Single Sign-On. Granular Role-Based Access Control limits data access strictly by job role, while immutable audit logs record all user logins, document views, and records modifications.

  • How does custom software automate building permits and field inspections?

    The software enables online blueprint uploads and fee payments, automatically routing plans concurrently to zoning, fire, and health departments. Field inspectors use offline mobile apps to complete checklists, take photos, and log results on site, automatically syncing permit statuses when reconnected.

  • Who owns the source code and database architecture developed for government projects?

    Your government agency or municipality retains 100% intellectual property ownership of all custom source code, architecture designs, and database schemas. We transfer all repositories and documentation upon completion with zero recurring licensing fees or vendor lock-in.

  • Can custom portals streamline public records (FOIA) requests while redacting sensitive data?

    Yes. We build records management portals with full-text search indexing and digital redaction tools. Citizens track request progress online, while agency staff review documents and permanently redact sensitive PII, social security numbers, and confidential notes before release, maintaining full audit trails.

  • How do custom agency applications integrate with GIS platforms like Esri ArcGIS?

    We build REST API connectors that interface directly with Esri ArcGIS Enterprise and Online. Our web applications embed interactive map viewers that overlay live agency database recordsβ€”such as active permits, road repairs, and utility assetsβ€”onto GIS spatial layers in real time.
