Alignment comes first.
Tools come second.

Your value is not just what you do.
It’s how you do it.
Every DoD organization is under pressure to move faster, operate leaner, and deliver more. But real change doesn’t start with a software purchase — it starts with aligning people, processes, and purpose. The goal is not just to have the right technology; it’s to make technology serve the mission.
Changing how you think
about the future.
In the Department of Defense, modernization means connecting systems, data, and people so decisions happen faster, collaboration gets easier, and capabilities scale without compromise. We’ve partnered with pioneering teams to prove how focused alignment—across leadership, talent, and technology—can rewire (and improve) the way missions are executed and decisions are made.
Army Software Factory
We helped AFC launch the Army Software Factory — a Soldier-led organization that changed how the Army delivers software at scale. Through organizational design, stakeholder alignment, and technical integration, we delivered dozens of custom apps and real-time metrics to put data-driven decisions in leaders’ hands.
Marine Corps Software Factory
Members of the ATX team have contributed to this all-volunteer unit focused on accelerating the adoption of advanced technologies and capabilities within the Marine Corps by leveraging private sector expertise. Projects are organized under four branches that include advisory needs and niche skill set in agile sprints for rapid results.
Transformation is a system of progress.
Modernization succeeds when the right structures are in place: clear data pathways, secure infrastructure, and empowered teams. Progress starts to stick when leaders can see across silos, talent can focus on what matters, and the system can move as one. Start with foundations, redesign processes, update infrastructure, and upskill the talent to sustain it.
The result?
- Better experiences for the force and public
- Decisions backed by evidence
- Talent that thrives and stays
- Clear accountability and trust
FAQs
What is digital transformation?
Digital transformation in government is a process of adopting information and communication technologies that modernize operations, improve public services, and enhance citizen experiences. Digital transformation involves technologies like cloud computing, data analytics, and AI to replace or enhance legacy systems and better enable data-driven decision making, streamline processes, and create more accessible, transparent, and efficient services.
What’s involved in a modernization effort?
Modernization typically includes:
- Replacing outdated legacy systems with secure, cloud-enabled, and AI-driven solutions
- Streamlining workflows to reduce complexity and increase speed
- Improving cybersecurity and compliance to protect sensitive data
- Training personnel to operate and maintain modernized environments
ATX Defense helps DoD organizations modernize, delivering measurable improvements in efficiency, resilience, and mission success.
Why does transformation = national security?
The DoD’s ability to deter, defend, and win depends on keeping pace with technological change. Legacy systems create vulnerabilities, while modernized, secure environments strengthen resilience, agility, and operational effectiveness. At ATX Defense, we believe transformation is not just an IT initiative — it’s a strategic imperative for national security.
How can DoD organizations access ATX capabilities?
ATX Defense capabilities are available through multiple acquisition pathways, including GSA MAS, OASIS+, and other DoD contract vehicles. This ensures organizations can quickly and efficiently engage with ATX Defense for both transformation and compliance-related support. Our team can guide you to the right contract mechanism based on your mission needs.
What DoD organizations are primed for transformation?
Any organization operating with aging infrastructure, disconnected systems, or rising cybersecurity risk is primed for transformation. Today, that includes:
- Commands relying on legacy IT or ERP systems
- Organizations managing sensitive data without FedRAMP/CMMC-level security
- Units seeking to adopt DevSecOps, AI/ML, or cloud-native solutions to accelerate mission outcomes
ATX Defense helps these organizations identify the right starting point and chart a path that delivers rapid, mission-focused results.
