The OneGov Program: How Federal Government Agencies Can Partner with Tech Suppliers for Impact

This IDC Perspective discusses how the GSA's OneGov Acquisition Program aims to deliver a smarter, more secure federal IT enterprise while challenging suppliers to adapt their go-to-market strategies to this streamlined, enterprise-wide approach. Consolidation of procurement is not new in the U.S. federal government or other national governments worldwide. Realizing the benefits of such an approach requires close collaboration between federal agencies' CIOs and acquisition officers and the supplier ecosystem."OneGov refines earlier unification efforts by integrating robust security, streamlined acquisition, and a direct software OEM engagement model. Technology buyers should understand not only take advantage of price discounts, but also how to partner with suppliers to improve mission outcomes." - Research Director Massimiliano Claps, IDC
