At this year’s TechNet Cyber conference, the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) outlined its strategic priorities for the next five years, emphasizing the need to align IT procurement with faster technology refresh cycles and evolving mission demands.
Two key takeaways from the discussion:
- Strategic Planning Beyond the Fiscal Year: DISA is shifting toward a five-year IT investment strategy to better align with long-term mission requirements and emerging threats.
- Modernizing Procurement Models: Traditional acquisition processes are being re-evaluated in favor of more agile approaches—like those enabled by 8(a) Native-owned small businesses—to deliver timely, mission-ready solutions.
CARS President Torie Williams was featured in a recent article discussing how Chenega Agile Real-Time Solutions (CARS) is helping lead this transformation in federal IT procurement.
“Organizational change management cannot be an afterthought. It must happen at the speed of technology adoptions, like AI."
