In a significant shakeup within the government technology landscape, the General Services Administration (GSA) is set to reduce its Technology Transformation Services (TTS) by 50% and eliminate non-statutory work. This move comes alongside the unexpected layoffs of key staff, including those from vital software divisions. The recent cuts have drawn attention from industry leaders like Mark Cuban, who has offered to fund a new government tech unit in the wake of these reductions. Amidst this turmoil, former State Department AI chief Matthew Graviss has secured a position as the Chief Technology Officer for Public Sector at Atlassian, highlighting a trend of private sector opportunities for former government tech leaders. As commentary arises questioning the implications of eliminating the 18F program, stakeholders are grappling with the future direction of government technology services.
