Post a Comment On: Straight to the Point

There was a very interesting webinar this morning organized by Washington Technology magazine and featuring Ray Bjorkland of FedSources.

Here is couple of tidbits I found interesting:
there will be fewer government opportunities over the next few years but those that exist will be biggerit is increasingly important to get on an IDIQ contract or get on an existing teampure A-76 contracts will be rare, but mostly used for small scale staff augmentation dealsthe impact of the 2008 election will be minimal until the 2009 budget due to the length of the government budgeting cycle (well....duh)eGov initiatives seem to have broad based bi-partisan support and won't see much change over the next few yearsIPv6 is not a high risk change for government, but poses a huge managerial and cultural challenge. Will the government develop and implement a viable plan for all the ancillary changes that need to be addressed? Still up the in air.there a strong resurgence of interest and budgets in health IT. Electronic health records are driving budget growth as well as funds to directly support warfighter and veteransthere will be increasing collaboration among government agencies, ie IWIN with DOJ/DHS. However, in the end, most contracts of this sort tend to get driven by one or another of the agencies involved.
