    Kevin Curry replied to the topic The budget crunch – technology to the rescue? in the forum Technology 7 years, 8 months ago

    Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS) technologies like Heroku, PHPFog, Standing Cloud and others dramatically lower the costs of systems administration.

    Actually, +1 to all of this.

    Kevin Curry replied to the topic What Best Practices in Software Procurement Do You See? in the forum Acquisition, Contracting, Procurement 7 years, 10 months ago

    Logan, these are helpful answers. The basis behind a mandatory cooperative purchasing agreement seems full of common sense. It’s a “write once, use many” constructive outcome. As you hint, though, it’s not just awareness, but willingness. Purchasers find reasons not to use contract vehicles that are available to them. It might be some other rule…[Read more]

    Great question Ron. I’d like to see some responses here.

    +1 OMB 25 Point IT Reform Plan. It’s flawed but net gain.

    Aaahhh, yes. Now I understand. At one point Joint Forces Command had several thousand separate licenses for the same product, all with separate maintenance contracts.

    Steve, I agree 100% with market research. The first instinct anyone should have to look for what has worked where. Too often government thinks it is looking for something new, when it isn’t, or has a new problem, when it doesn’t. I think we can do a lot to help with market research, too, as a community of practice. Better “apps” stores will help.…[Read more]

    Angel. I’m intrigued. Will you please elaborate on what you mean by consolidation of procurement actions? I have a sense, but it could be wrong.

    Kevin Curry started the topic What Best Practices in Software Procurement Do You See? in the forum Acquisition, Contracting, Procurement 7 years, 10 months ago

    There’s been plenty said and written about what’s wrong with government acquisition and procurement in the IT space. Yet people still seek positive alternatives as if they do not exist. Is the “app store” model the way to go? What about things that aren’t apps, like enterprise software? Should we treat them separately and differently in the…[Read more]
