Excel Technologies has been awarded a 5-year, $35M contract by the Department of Agriculture Forest Service to provide Departmental and Agency Information System Security Support Services. This contract was competed against eighteen other bidders and was awarded on the GSA MAS contract vehicle. Take Bytes:   Excel Technologies areas of expertise include Cyber Security, Organizational Resiliency, Secure Cloud Implementation, Machine Learning, Data Visualization/Analytics, and Virtual Reality experience design and delivery. As Excel Technologies’ CEO, Deb Yamanaka brings 36 years of management, technology, and resiliency expertise with a specific focus on organizational resilience and crisis management.  Although she began her career in the Intelligence Community where she focused on both advanced analytic and collaboration tools as well as continuity of government, she has worked with clients throughout the National Security, Defense, Civilian, and Commercial sectors. Her beginnings as a technologist means she keeps her hands in current and emerging technology trends and is as comfortable discussing organizational transformational goals and modernization as she is monitoring bloom patterns in a pandemic. She loves swapping war stories and has quite a few to share. Deb studied at the University of Virginia and remains a life-long, curiosity-based, learner.
