ADVERTISEMENT GTSI Using information technology to create public value S ince 1983, state and local governments have leveraged GTSI’s brand name products and professional services to fulfill their responsibilities to constituents and communities. From electronically managing Medicaid records to reduce fraud to implementing in-car video surveillance systems that decrease crime to deploying municipal broadband networks for expanded communications to developing IT infrastructures that safeguard personal data, authenticate identity, and improve traffic flow, GTSI’s information technology products, services, and solutions create public value. Teams of GTSI engineers with more than 100 industry, vendor, and professional certifications and PMI-certified project managers work closely with agency staff to develop technology roadmaps aligned to each state’s IT strategic plan. Years of working with state and local governments give GTSI a high level understanding of agency policies, purchasing requirements, budgets, and business objectives. This knowledge and insight along with the precise application of technology figure prominently in each GTSI IT infrastructure solution that addresses agency priorities for: • Server Consolidation • Storage Consolidation • Network and Physical Security • Unified Communications • Mobile Evidence Capture Increasing accessibility and responsiveness through technology-enabled government All GTSI’s IT infrastructure solutions support the public sector’s move toward technology-enabled government and address each stage of the technology lifecycle. They are designed for long-term security and scalability and incorporate technology innovations that support advanced applications such as VoIP, digital video, and wireless communications; e-discovery; virtualization; mobility, in-car and fixed-camera video surveillance; and ID authenti- cation and authorization. GTSI recommends the best hardware and software components and designs, deploys, manages, and supports each IT infrastructure solution. Agencies can easily adapt each solution to their technology roadmap without compromising budgets or performance. GTSI’s professional services are the change agents that transform technology components into core IT infrastructure solutions. Extensive knowledge of brand name hardware and software is leveraged with the skills of GTSI’s certified engineers, practice-area experts, and project managers. From project inception to end of life, GTSI enables agencies to successfully execute their IT programs through: • Management Consulting Services • Financial Services • Project Management Services • E-Business Services • Network Services • Support Services • Integration and Asset Management Services • Education Services Transforming state and local governments into high-performance organizations As state and local government agencies continue to transform into high-performance organizations, GTSI adopted a Technology Lifecycle Management approach. This strategic, multiphased methodology provides the framework for agencies to effectively and efficiently address the IT infrastructure lifecycle, from initial assessment to product acquisition, implementation, refresh, and disposal. It also addresses systematic budgeting requirements so that agencies can execute cost-recovery strategies that reduce the burdens and risks of technology asset ownership. The public sector can procure IT products, services, and solutions without delays or risk using GTSI’s financial services. Each agency can work with GTSI’s financial expert to devise a plan, such as IT as a service, that allows all products and services to be bought and paid at an agreed-upon rate over a period of time. Through these options, agencies can structure their IT expenses so they are predictable and manageable. As a result, agencies: • Reduce large initial cash and resource outlays • Drive projects to completion quicker • Obtain the best and most relevant technology and services, when they are needed • Build in refresh cycles so technology remains current • Eliminate the responsibility of ownership • Reduce total cost of ownership • Retain a single source for IT assets, services, and financing Strengthening buying power with competitively solicited pricing Further facilitating the acquisition of innovative technology and services are GTSI’s numerous state and local government contract vehicles, including U.S. Communities. As the exclusive information technology provider on the U.S. Communities contract, GTSI provides more than 300,000 brand name information technology products; engineering, project management, support, and financial services; and turnkey solutions to all registered entities. Because the contract was pre-competed, it satisfies most state and local government competitive solicitation requirements, saving public sector agencies time and millions of dollars. This means agencies can quickly put solutions in place to meet constituent demands and federal requirements for improved security, collaboration, and information sharing. GTSI’s expert application of brand name hardware and software combined with engineering and project management services propels public sector’s technology-enabled government initiatives from future state into the realm of accomplishment.
