Technik, Inc. (Technik) today announced it has entered into a partnership with GitHub, the software platform for powerful team collaboration, code review and version control management. Technik Inc. is GitHub’s first small business federal systems integration partner, focusing specifically on helping agencies implement and manage GitHub Enterprise, the version of GitHub designed to be installed on an agency’s own infrastructure. This partnership will also enable Federal government agencies to easily procure GitHub Enterprise through Technik’s existing government contracts.
“As the federal community increasingly seeks to embrace more agile development tools and methodologies, the training and implementation services Technik provides will empower government agencies to more easily adopt modern software development practices.” said Elizabeth Pemmerl, Director of GitHub Federal.
Technik is known in the government contract procurement industry, and is a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Maturity Level 3 certified, ISO 9001:2008 registered small 8(a) company, with a successful history of advancing government IT operations by effectively engineering agency mission solutions and managing quality, risk and process. Technik holds multiple contracts with several government agencies including NASA, USDA, and DoD. “Bidding 18F’s Agile bake-off procurement using GitHub, we realized the huge market potential of a partnership between Technik and GitHub. We are very excited to work with GitHub,” said Satish Venkatesan, CEO, Technik Inc. Additionally, Technik, being in the 8a program until 2021, provides a fast way for government customers to procure GitHub Enterprise services.
GitHub Enterprise offers powerful collaboration, code review and code management capabilities for open source and private projects and is an on premise version of GitHub.com where more than 10.1 million developers, of which over 25,000 are government users, have built more than 26 million projects. Built for the rigors of modern organizations, GitHub Enterprise provides custom-ers with source control management, collaborative code review, powerful search, enterprise-grade security, intelligent issue tracking, and more — all integrated into existing agency work-flows.
