AT&T Government Solutions Hosts Networx Universal Program Launch
for Federal Agencies
AT&T Government Solutions, a business unit of
AT&T Inc. (NYSE: T), brought together federal agency representatives
for a detailed look at AT&T's broad portfolio of
products, services and capabilities for Networx Universal, a multibillion
telecommunications network and services contract awarded by the U.S.
General Services Administration (GSA). AT&T hosted the Networx Universal
Program Launch meeting today at its Oakton, Va., operations.
During
the seminar, AT&T unveiled its Transition Management Center, where
AT&T PMP-certified program managers and staff showcased tools, resources,
inventory management and processes that will be used for
agencies that will partner with AT&T for their transitions.
The seminar enabled federal government representatives to learn more
about AT&T's powerful combination of dedicated transition operations, proven
capabilities and in-depth experience transitioning thousands of complex networks
for large enterprises.
AT&T also detailed its products and
services for Mobility, Network Disaster Recovery and Continuity of
Operations, Security, Order Processing and Billing, Managed Services and
Services Management, including its award-winning, Web-based customer portal, BuisnessDirect®.
"AT&T is dedicated to helping federal agencies service their
customer needs today while charting a course for tomorrow's
technologies," said Don Herring, senior vice president, AT&T Government
Solutions. "Since our goal is to be the trusted,
experienced partner for managing each agency through its transition,
we take a tailored, customer-focused approach to each agency's
transition time frame. With our proven track record of
past performance, combined with innovation from AT&T Labs and
our Networx partners, we'll help agencies maximize the opportunities
while minimizing the risks of transition."
"Today, security is a
major challenge facing every federal agency," said Ed Amoroso,
chief information security officer of AT&T. "Networx provides agencies
with a suite of capabilities to accommodate the heightened
importance of security in the federal government. AT&T's Defense-In-Depth
strategy can address security from the core of the
network to the application."
Networx is an Indefinite Delivery-Indefinite Quantity
(IDIQ) contract with a potential value of $20 billion
over the next 10 years that consists of two
contract vehicles: Networx Universal and Networx Enterprise. Through its
Networx Universal award, AT&T can provide a full range
of network and communications services to federal government agencies.
AT&T also bid on Networx Enterprise, which is expected
to be awarded later this month. Networx will replace
the expiring GSA FTS2001 and FTS2001 Crossover contract vehicles.
Recently, AT&T received Notice to Proceed (NTP) from the
GSA on its Networx Universal contract and is proceeding
with verification testing of systems to support the mandatory
and optional Networx services under the Networx Universal award.
AT&T has invested millions in enhancing its advanced federal
government-specific OSS infrastructure and processes for Networx.
AT&T Government
Solutions has a 4,000 strong team of professionals, 85
percent of whom have government-sponsored accesses and clearances and
75 percent of whom are based in the D.C.
area, that is dedicated to the federal government. Today,
AT&T provides network, IT and software engineering services to
hundreds of agencies, including the Department of Defense, the
Department of Justice and the Department of Veterans Affairs.
The AT&T Networx team comprises industry-leading networking and IT
partners, which include Northrop Grumman Information Technology of McLean,
Va.; EDS of Herndon, Va.; GTSI Corp. of Chantilly,
Va.; SRA International, Inc., of Fairfax, Va.; Bechtel National
