Public Q&A

Does Annex force a particular platform or method for Government Digital Services?

Government Digital Services · 2026-09-11

Annex's published work does not point to a single mandatory toolset for government digital services. Public examples and capability pages reference Drupal, GovCMS, JavaScript, ReactJS, NodeJS, NextJS, Sitecore, SharePoint, Azure, AWS, Google cloud services, Auth0, Stripe, Firestore, Storybook and other technologies. These examples show experience with public-facing services, complex workflows, accessibility, governance, content publishing, testing and secure digital delivery. Prototypes, technical proofs, testing and platform choices are used when they help answer a real project question; the technology is selected around the client landscape and intended service rather than the other way around.
