Federal systems integrator for ERP and low-code government modernization
Groundswell is a systems integrator focused on federal agencies, built around SAP, Appian, and Workday implementations. The stack reveals heavy investment in enterprise integration (MuleSoft, SAP Integration Suite, Oracle), and active adoption of Appian and SAP Cloud signals a shift toward low-code and cloud-native government solutions. Engineering dominance in hiring (645 of 855 roles) paired with security as the second-largest department (106) reflects the DoD compliance intensity baked into their business — a structural constraint that shapes both delivery and scaling.
