For any federal contractor, managing its team’s needs on government projects requires a continual real-time, proactive approach to lifecycle management.
This means ramp-up has to happen well in advance so the organization can achieve true day 1 readiness, said Tom Terjesen, chief information officer at Peraton.
“What’s changed is that on day one of any new program we stand up, we have to be ready to support the program,” he said. “And what has changed really is the frequency we have to push patches and upgrades and things like that.”
As part of total readiness, cybersecurity processes also take center stage before work on a project for any government customer begins.
Peraton’s support of the Defense Department, Homeland Security Department and Intelligence Community agencies means it works with organizations that are constantly a target of foreign adversaries.
