The SEC’s website — SEC.gov — is one of the federal government’s busiest websites, reportedly serving up more than 562 million page views every month. Earlier this month, Accenture Federal Services announced that the SEC has awarded it a $17.9 million contract to modernize and “create an improved user experience” for users of SEC.gov. The new work is part of a broader, ongoing effort to modernize the site and will be performed over a five-year period. 

Specifically, SEC.gov will be improved with “visual style updates” and other improvements to make it more flexible and easier to navigate. It will also gain enhanced document management capabilities and social media integration. According to Accenture, an important part of the SEC’s “modernization journey is the migration of legacy documents into the document management system.”
