SRA’s Touchstone Consulting Group (www.touchstone.com), a
subsidiary of SRA International (NYSE: SRX), today announced that
it has won a $5.3 million re-compete contract from the General
Services Administration to provide program management support to
the Federal Cloud Computing Initiative (FCCI).
The FCCI contract places Touchstone at the heart of the federal
government’s push toward cloud computing and adoption of emerging
technology.
“The team we have in place, led by SRA Principal Michael Lee,
understands that the Federal Cloud Computing Initiative is
about answering the government's need for cost-effective computing
-- and that it also can solve some classic
IT implementation challenges like lengthy procurement
cycles, and the redundant certification/accreditation of programs
and infrastructure,” said Emily Crespin, SRA vice president and
director of Touchstone Consulting. “We're tackling these larger
issues by creating programs that will streamline
these currently lengthy and resource-intensive processes.”
Under the contract, Touchstone will assist in finding ways to
improve the government’s desire for transparency by creating Web
portals for sharing information related to the program.
The FCCI was established to support the federal migration toward
a cloud-based services environment. The FCCI is actively pursuing
its goal of achieving an optimized, cost-effective, government-wide
information technology infrastructure that supports agency
missions, while providing reliability and security in service
delivery.
Touchstone also supports the FCCI's governance structure, which
includes the Cloud Computing Executive Steering Committee, Cloud
Computing Advisory Council, Security Working Group, Standards
Working Group, and Communications Working Group. Touchstone
provides subject matter expertise for each of these bodies as well
as the overall program.
Touchstone’s experienced professionals provide a variety of
management consulting services such as Digital Strategy, Enterprise
Architecture, IT Strategy, and Gov 2.0 services.
