Shurronne Young Davis, senior director of enterprise security at Perspecta, said the Defense Information Systems Agency must implement a framework that integrates automation, innovation, engineering and cyber elements for its new information technology modernization program.

Perspecta has been awarded a potential five-year, $112 million single award, indefinite-delivery/indefinite-quantity (IDIQ) contract to perform systems engineering and integration (SE&I) work for the Space Development Agency (SDA). The company’s work on the program began in late October under an initial $17.8 million task order. 

Chris Painter, vice president and chief engineer for the Navy and Marine Corps Intranet at Perspecta, wrote in an article published Wednesday on Breaking Defense that there are several steps the Defense Information Systems Agency can take as it plans to modernize the information technology infrastructure of fourth estate agencies through the Defense Enclave Services program. He said the first step calls for DISA to assess the as-is environment to better understand the capabilities of the IT infrastructure and the population’s requirements.

Perspecta has reported financial results for its second fiscal quarter ending Oct. 2. "Since our inception, we have consistently achieved solid execution across the enterprise, and this quarter is no exception. Once again, we delivered on our revenue, adjusted diluted earnings per share and free cash flow conversion expectations," said Mac Curtis, chairman and CEO of Perspecta and six-time Wash100 Award recipient.
