Doubling down on Smartsheet Gov

by Chris Peake

Smartsheet solutions for Federal Government

When we launched Smartsheet Gov in 2019, we committed to helping federal agencies fulfill their mission by simplifying and modernizing their workflows and processes in a way that meets the strict security and compliance needs of the U.S. federal government. I know how critical security and governance are, especially in government work, and don’t take that responsibility lightly. Our commitment to you is greater than ever. 

That’s why I’m thrilled to let you know that we will be bringing new features and improvements to Smartsheet Gov this year. These updates will enable federal agencies to substantially improve work execution by adapting faster, having greater visibility across project portfolios and boosting efficiency. 

Over the past few years we have made significant changes to our core work management platform. As we bring those improvements to Smartsheet Gov, we’ve taken time to work closely and diligently with the Joint Authorization Board (JAB) to ensure the platform updates meet FedRAMP requirements and data privacy demands so that we can balance innovation while maintaining security. We will continue to keep you informed on the work we are doing to make these new capabilities and functionalities a reality for your agency, office, or team.

Federal agencies are already using Smartsheet to revolutionize how they get work done. 

Transforming how government work is done

As the first collaborative work management platform to receive FedRAMP and DISA IL4 authorization, federal agencies rely on Smartsheet Gov to meet their missions. All cabinet agencies are using Smartsheet Gov to modernize processes including policy management, resource and asset management, national security and operational risk management, and how data is collected and used across departments. 

For example, the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers is using Smartsheet to enable workers in the field to make better — and safer — decisions with real-time data. Instead of taking days to process, innovators at USACE created interfaces and processes to make critical information available in fractions of a second. Having a single source of truth means teams can act quickly and balance the portfolio-level goals of federal leaders with the adaptive task-level needs of individual users.

Empowering federal agencies

Our investment in Smartsheet Gov has transformed how government leaders make critical decisions and how federal workers execute against agency strategy. Improved collaboration is driving success across previously siloed teams and connecting the hybrid work environment. Consistent, standardized solutioning is translating to more efficient project life cycles. From managing hundred million dollar budgets and carrying out region-wide infrastructure projects to assembling highly-specialized machines and approving and tracking travel expenditures, Smartsheet Gov has become integral to how federal agencies operate. 

We are continuing to empower our federal customers at the enterprise level in their ongoing efforts to foster innovation, make better decisions faster, and optimize for mission impact. Whether you’re at a civilian agency, part of the national defense and intelligence framework, overseeing an economic relief program, or reporting recruitment efforts up the chain of command, we’re devoted to amplifying your impact and achieving better outcomes. We are excited for what’s coming this year and will continue to update you as we get closer to bringing these exciting new capabilities live.
