How mistaken are the CIOs and others that are charged with purchase decisions. Glad to know we have you to set the record straight.
I just returned from a breakfast panel representing NASA, DISA, DOE and DHS. All are pushing ahead with S-A-A-S as an imperative to meet responsiveness, affordability, scalability, security and sustainability demands, as the public and Congressional overseers demand ever more from public systems.
