Dell Perot Systems Awarded $42 Million Army Contract
ROUND ROCK, Texas - (BUSINESS WIRE) - Dell Perot Systems announced today that its Fairfax, Va.-based
Government Services Business Unit was awarded the Rock Island Arsenal
contract - a five-year, $42 million agreement to provide command,
control, communications, computer and information management (C4IM)
services to the Army arsenal. Recently acquired by Dell Corporation,
Perot Systems has been providing services to the Rock Island Arsenal for
the past four years, helping the base accomplish a number of leading
Army IT initiatives including consolidating the base's Directorate of
Information Management (DOIM) centers into a single DOIM while
simultaneously migrating the base's networks to the Army's first Area
Processing Center (APC). The successful APC migration was one of the
first of its kind in CONUS [the contiguous 48 U.S. states] and created a
process blueprint for future installations. The successful migration has
also helped the base improve service delivery as well as strengthen
security by reducing entry points.
For the new contract, Dell Perot Systems will continue to provide
network operations, desktop services, email, information assurance,
telephones, and connectivity to long-haul communications.
Quotes
Lee Carrick, Vice President of Dell Perot Systems' Government
Services Unit: "We're excited about the Army's decision to award us
with this contract and look forward to continuing to provide the Rock
Island Arsenal with the highest quality of service. We're also proud to
have been one of the first teams to help the Army migrate a base to the
APC, which gave us a firsthand knowledge of the challenges that arise in
migrations and how to avoid or resolve those issues during future
migrations."
