Requirement:

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) is conducting market research into enterprise solutions capable of meeting its functional, security, and interoperability requirements across productivity and collaboration, security and compliance, customer/case management, low-code application development, source code management, reactive product and professional support services, and cloud infrastructure services, currently supporting an enterprise of over 540,000 users.

Our research is being conducted under a solution-agnostic process, through which requirements are evaluated against the marketplace to match the identified need with a solution that is cost-effective and demonstrates enterprise-grade reliability and uptime, independent of incumbent vendor or platform.
