With the rollout of the Digital Analytics Program (DAP) in support of the Digital Government Strategy, federal agencies across government are driving the adoption of modern website analytics for the full range of .gov and .mil websites.
To better integrate the DAP analytics code, the Department of Homeland Security built a Drupal module that could be reused across their agency websites. Because they are using open source code, they then went on to release their code publicly.
This important step now allows any other government agency using Drupal to benefit from Homeland Security’s good work. By adopting this open and collaborative model, they are practicing what the Digital Strategy calls for from all agencies–being open by default.
This is a great example of the different pieces of the digital strategy coming together to build a 21st century government. Let us know how your agency is bringing the strategy together in the comments.
