PlanIT Group has been awarded with a strategic role in supporting NATO NCIA on the IT Modernization (ITM) contract, which aims to increase the efficiency and effectiveness of NATO’s Information Technology (IT) infrastructure by: renewing obsolete IT infrastructure with standard solutions, reducing the heterogeneity of hardware and software assets, quantifying and increasing the availability of service levels, implementing NATO-wide Business Continuity and Disaster Recovery capabilities, enhancing the Information Security posture, increasing operational agility and flexibility by enabling reallocation of resources dynamically (as dictated by the operational situation), bringing new ways of working by enabling a mobile work force, and reducing the manpower, operations, and maintenance costs required to provide and maintain services.
IT Modernization (ITM) is a journey; it will take half a decade to fully implement. It represents a fundamental shift from provision of bespoke services to the user community (independently at each user location), to the provision of commodity services in an efficient and standardized way, from only a few locations. This is NATO’s first step towards adoption of ‘Cloud Computing’ by providing private, on-premises infrastructure as a service (IaaS).
“PlanIT is extremely excited to be a part of an amazing team consisting of some of the world’s most innovative companies. I am quite confident that this strategic alliance will bring about the most unique, creative and emerging concepts in technology today, revamping the way NATO conducts its entire IT platform, systems, and C5ISR making them one of the most advanced defense agencies in the world. In an increasingly dangerous and unpredictable world, NATO will certainly be playing a larger role in global security and analysis for the partner nations; certainly in a time when it is needed most,” stated David Hoshko, COO for PlanIT. “We could not be more proud to be supporting (and part of), such a critical contract, and to have put in the groundwork and established the foundation needed in preparation of this award. PlanIT will be ready on day one with an extremely agile and responsive solution to the site analysis surveying and critical communications infrastructure build needs to NATO facilities around the globe,” Hoshko continued.
