JUTNet Managed Network Service
Transforming Disparate Telecommunication / Network Infrastructures at DOJ to an Enterprise-wide Managed Network and Security Service
Executive Summary
Federal IT leaders should consider use of a managed service model when evaluating alternatives for consolidating technical infrastructures (e.g., telecommunications, datacenters, e-mail) as significant cost benefits and efficiencies can result. Off-loading complex technical details to an experienced and skilled enterprise-class managed service provider translates to financial and technical benefits and redeployment of assets to better serve the agency’s mission.
The Department of Justice, via an acquisition procurement, engaged a single managed service provider with end-to-end responsibility for security and networking to consolidate numerous DOJ component WANs. By aggregating multiple DOJ component WAN requirements into a unified enterprise infrastructure, compliance with Federal IT policies, standards, and directives such as TIC, IPv6 and FISMA became efficient and less costly than performing the work independently for multiple component networks. Government purchasing power improved by aggregating the separate expenditures and provided leverage to negotiate aggressive service level agreements with strong financial penalties for non-performance.
