❓ Vanliga frågor

What's FedRAMP and why does it matter?
FedRAMP (Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program) is the US government's standardized compliance framework. Government agencies can only buy FedRAMP-authorized cloud services. FedRAMP auth takes 6-18 months and costs $50k-500k. Big barrier to entry = less competition = premium pricing.
Do all government software need FedRAMP?
No. FedRAMP required only if software processes sensitive federal data (PII, health, defense). Local government and some agencies don't require FedRAMP. But federal contractors must comply.
What's Section 508 compliance?
Section 508 = accessibility for people with disabilities (WCAG 2.1 AA). Government software must be accessible (keyboard navigation, screen readers, etc.). Applies to all digital products.
How do I win government contracts?
(1) Register on SAM.gov (System for Award Management). (2) Get DUNS number. (3) Monitor FedBizOpps for RFPs. (4) Respond to RFP. (5) Negotiate contract. (6) Deliver. Process takes months per contract.
What's the typical government sales cycle?
Long: RFP published → 30-45 days to respond → evaluation → negotiation → contract award → onboarding → 6-12 months delivery. Slow compared to private sector (weeks). Patience required.
