GAITS Awarded a Worldwide US Army Contract to support the Information Engineering Systems Command (ISEC)

Alexandria, VA, July 2007 - Global Analytic Information Technology Services (GAITS), a VA based SI and IT Services Firm, announced today that it has been awarded a contract to support the Information Engineering Systems Command (ISEC) to provide worldwide information technology quality assurance (QA) support to the U.S. Army's Information Systems Engineering Command (ISEC) through its Fort Detrick Engineering Directorate (FDED). This award uses ISEC's Total Engineering and Integration Services (TEIS) contract and encompass a wide range of information technology services and installation supporting the Army across 18 different time zones ranging from Asia to CONUS to Europe.

The contract requires that GAITS personnel provide QA oversight on various IT systems which include data networks, voice networks, inside plant (ISP), and outside plant (OSP) during the various implementation stages reviewing various Army contractors work and performance. The types of OSP projects include underground (manhole and duct) and direct buried outside plant cable, both copper and fiber, multiplexing equipment, and inside plant fiber optic cabling for local area networks. The types of data network projects consist of installation backbone networks, premise distribution systems, asynchronous transfer mode (ATM), Wireless, Gigabit Ethernet (GigE), Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM), Voice Over IP (VOIP), Secure Internet Protocol Router Network (SIPRNET), Hardened Carrier Distribution Systems (HCDS) and Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN).

"This is a complex and critical task for the Army - each day GAITS personnel have to ensure the Army is getting the best inside and outside plant implementation while work is being performed. GAITS personnel conduct QA spot check audits, write status reports, review test plans, witness testing, and coordinate, evaluate, and make technical recommendations on contractor generated engineering change proposals while resolving engineering problems. We have an exceptional management team supporting our globally deployed QA Teams based in Sierra Vista, AZ and Fort Detrick, MD that ensures our support to ISEC FDED has the highest level of customer satisfaction and success. Our mandate is to provide the best QA support to the Army – anywhere – anytime."

"GAITS understands the rapid response technology needed to succeed. GAITS is committed to aiding the US Army in their goals, by utilizing our proficiency in Program Management, IT, as well as our expertise in QA, SI, and overall Network Engineering. We are also pleased to be able to offer the US Army the quality assurance that comes from our ISO 9001:2000 processes and procedures," said Tony Asefi, GAITS CEO.
