Rethinking the Implementation of EIS: A Look at GSA NetworkX

As the Government Sector navigates the transition to Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS), it's essential to consider the challenges and potential pitfalls that can arise during this process. With my background in managing major programs like Networx and Alliant, I understand the complexities involved in implementing EIS.

Executive Mosaic, a leadership organization and media company, recently questioned whether we should rethink how and why we are implementing EIS. This inquiry is timely, as federal agencies continue to rely on contracting extensions to ensure a smooth transition to EIS.

One such example is AT&T's Networx contracts with the General Services Administration (GSA). The company secured extensions for its Networx Universal and Networx Enterprise contracts through March 2020 and May 2020, respectively. According to Mike Leff, vice president of AT&T's global public sector solutions business for civilian agencies, 'Federal agencies rely on Networx for global networking and advanced solutions.'

These contract extensions demonstrate the importance of providing continuity during the transition period. Executive Mosaic offers a platform for industry professionals and government thought leaders to share insights and best practices in implementing EIS effectively.

As we move forward with the implementation of EIS, it's crucial to consider the following:

1. Streamlining Processes: Identify areas where processes can be simplified or automated to reduce inefficiencies.

2. Collaboration and Communication: Foster open communication between stakeholders, including government agencies, contractors, and industry professionals, to ensure a unified approach.

3. Technology Integration: Leverage advanced technologies to enhance network capabilities and streamline operations.

By rethinking the implementation of EIS, we can create a more efficient, effective, and secure infrastructure for federal agencies. At Executive Mosaic, we are committed to providing valuable insights and resources to support this transition. Through our executive events, business news, and content-driven websites, we offer a platform for industry professionals to learn from peers, develop key relationships, and stay informed about the latest developments in the Government Contracting sector.

The implementation of EIS is a critical step towards modernizing federal agencies' infrastructure. By addressing challenges, promoting collaboration, and leveraging technology, we can ensure a successful transition that benefits both government agencies and industry stakeholders alike.
