Federal Government
Windward has successfully implemented wide-ranging IT operations initiatives for the Federal Government including both defense and civilian agencies.
We leverage over a dozen years of commercial expertise with global communications service providers, banks, and large enterprises to bring innovation and thought leadership to the Government while maintaining vendor neutrality. Whether called upon to deploy some of the largest operations support systems, create IT operations concepts of operations or architect IT service management solutions, Windward repeatedly accomplishes the mission.
Federal CIOs manage complex and costly IT infrastructures for their agencies. This mission-critical responsibility has met with significant challenges recently including a shortage of qualified government IT staff, demands for modern technologies like service-oriented systems and cloud computing, the need to transition to enterprise architectures, and an increased need for information assurance. Windward’s solutions help agencies to transform from an environment of simply deploying technology to effectively driving a BTM strategy that aligns 21st century technology directly to the mission and needs of the Federal government.
Windward helps our government agency clients to:
- Modernize infrastructure and IT services, supporting both CIOs and CTOs with commercial best practices.
- Optimize delivery of technology services, focusing on ITIL process methodology.
- Maximize cost avoidance, especially in the area of software license management.
- Improve enterprise operations and collaboration, including compliance with the Federal Enterprise Architecture Framework (FEAF).
- Support information assurance, with full understanding of FISMA compliance requirements as well as knowledge of active computer network defense.
As a Federal Supply Schedule holder, Windward is CCR registered and holds GSA MOBIS & IT-70 schedules as well as Navy Seaport-e and FAA eFAST contracts
