Someone should do the Palantir model but for the boring backoffice applications that the government presently buys from big consulting shops.

In relation to the amount of work to be done (or merely the size of the specs book), I'd say this is completely dwarfed by your typical gvt data analytics project. In addition to be (generally) bad software consumer, I'd say gvt entities also tend to be rather stingy…

Of course, they still end up overpaying (because decisions by committee, opaque bidding etc etc), but the general approach is still "go with lowest bidder". Now data analytics, on the other hand: shiny, futuristic and oh-so-vital-to-the-State: you can't ever pay too much for it!

Isn’t 18F building a lot of back-office systems like this?

18F has done things like SSO for the public for gov services and modern cloud hosting, but nothing like payroll or HR systems (though how those are procured is a subject of interest) cc
