ABOUT US

We do better. Simply.

eSimplicity is a team of digital strategists, designers, and engineers collaborating to identify and discern the best technologies to create a world of new opportunities across health, citizen services, and defense organizations. Our engineers transform the existing user and customer experience to reimagine a better experience than what exists today.

We make a difference by making the complex simple.

Awesomely simple.

eSimplicity, an established technology company with over a decade of experience, works with the government in health management, citizen services and defense and national security. Driven by customer mission, we transform design, data and subject matter expertise into measurable value, saving time and cost. We don’t just do more with less. We do better. We make digital experiences better: not just for “humans”, but for real people. We make data better: more accessible, more useful, more powerful. We make outcomes better: for our government, our military and our fellow citizens.

We create data-driven solutions, engineer software and develop systems that impact the lives and security of millions of people. And we do it with transparent, collaborative partnership that builds and grows relationships.

 

We help:

  • Streamline technology and amplify its impact
  • Enhance healthcare outcomes so Americans can live better lives
  • Protect and empower our servicemen and women
  • Elevate citizen experience with government services
  • Prevent fraud and save the government and taxpayers money
  • Improve and secure Federal telecommunications and spectrum operations

Founded in 2016, eSimplicity was born from a desire to build digital services that are simply better. Our founders recognized that the legacy systems used by government agencies could, and should, be modernized to run more efficiently, cost-effectively, and reliably. From the start, we’ve focused on delivering solutions that work better for the people who use them and ultimately, for the American public.

We rethink how technology can serve people with greater clarity, transparency, and impact. We blend commercial innovation with deep mission understanding, applying agile methodologies, human-centered design, artificial intelligence, and data-driven architectures to transform complex systems into streamlined, scalable solutions. At eSimplicity, we believe government systems should be as forward-thinking and user centered as the people they serve.

Our growing portfolio of work supports millions of Americans by improving healthcare access, securing national infrastructure, and advancing defense capabilities. We partner with agencies to accelerate missions, remove barriers to innovation, and build lasting value. Our teams are driven by curiosity, purpose, and a shared belief that technology can make government simpler, stronger, and more responsive.
