The 21st Century Integrated Digital Experience Act (IDEA) is a bill that was signed into law on December 20, 2018. It’s designed to transform the federal government's digital service delivery through website modernization, improved accessibility, adoption of digital forms and signatures, and ultimately prioritize the citizen and employee experience.

Within 180 days from the enactment of the bill (June 18, 2019), federal agencies are required to enact on and report on progress of:

• Establishing consistent and secure websites that are 508 compliant
• Ensuring websites are user-friendly and accessible across devices
• Utilizing analytics to build or modify existing websites around users' needs and continuously measure engagement and effectiveness
• Prioritizing the customer experience, with a focus on personalization of content
• Modernizing internal digital services for government employees
• Offering digital options for all paper-based forms and adopt the use of electronic signatures

Carahsoft is pleased to partner with a number of technology providers leading in digital transformation and able to offer government entities the solutions they need to achieve the 21st Century IDEA requirements.

Website Modernization

Upgrade and transform your websites to be compliant, accessible across devices, consistent, non-duplicative, and easy to navigate. Continuously test your websites and modify your sites based on analytical data collected, to ensure your sites have positive engagement, are effective, and ultimately designed around your users’ needs.

Digitization of Government Services and Forms

Identify your non-digital services and public-facing applications and make them available to the public in a digital format to ensure accessibility for all, reduce costs, and streamline internal processing.

Electronic Signatures

Accelerate the use of electronic signatures and eliminate the time it takes to chase down signatures while gaining more visibility and added security to your documents’ workflow.
