Tools to monitor and manage your digital solutions once they’re deployed
With the Groundwork Delivery Platform, you get a platform built on top of best-of-breed cloud services chosen specifically to support digital service delivery. The Delivery Platform combines the value of a customized solution with the ease of simplified pricing and tools already vetted by experienced digital services teams.
Stop rebuilding the same cloud infrastructure over and over and spending months on each ATO. Refocus on high-value work — designing great digital services and delivering them quickly.
Bring value to your users
Building great services means listening to users' needs. But without a way to quickly and reliably deploy changes, project teams can’t deliver what users are asking for.
These teams get overwhelmed creating and managing their own cloud infrastructure and custom deployment pipelines, and have less time to deliver what your agency’s customers want.
The Delivery Platform enables project teams to leverage shared components and reusable artifacts, and to deliver new and improved digital solutions on a foundation of already solved problems.
Speed up responses to security issues
When you identify new security vulnerabilities, time is of the essence. Every extra hour it takes to deploy fixes in your public-facing applications puts your customer’s data and your agency’s infrastructure at risk.
The Delivery Platform enables the rapid deployment of critical updates and fixes to your customer-facing solutions, dramatically reducing the window of time for a malicious actor to exploit vulnerabilities.

VA.gov
Over the course of three years, Ad Hoc worked with VA to design, build, and launch the new VA.gov, with a single design and single sign-on for all Veteran benefits and services provided by VA. With the initial launch of VA.gov, the VA saw a reduction in page load time from 5 to 2.8 seconds, stable support for more than 100,000 transactions every weekday, and a 54% reduction in wait times for Veterans going through the disability claims process.
