The Air Force’s approach to its major transformation under the Enterprise IT-asa-Service program may sound familiar to many long-time observers of federal IT.
Before the Air Force called it EITaaS, it may have been known as seat management or alternative service providers. The Department of the Navy has been on this managed service path for the better part of two decades with its Navy-Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI), now managed under its Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN) contract.
What’s different with the Air Force isn’t just the name, but the technologies, acquisition and collaboration models that underpin the modernization program.
The as-a-service approach, along with better, faster network connections and security tools are reducing the risk associated with this transformation both from technology and cultural perspectives.
