G2X TAKE: This 5-year task to define and execute an enterprise program to establish VA-wide cloud computing, managed service capabilities only further justifies the acquisition Cognosante made a mere 18 months ago when they acquired Business Information Technology Solutions in an effort to expand their Military and Veterans' Health IT business. Beating out 5 other bidders, this is a big win for Cognosante as not only will they be front and center on this high profile effort to provide a robust cloud computing environment that supports the entire VA Enterprise, but as importantly, it shows that they know how to win in what is one highly competitive T4NG IDIQ environment. This award builds on a big win this group had last fall at VA when they won a $170M CRM Platform Development and O&M Support task.
