Challenges are often opportunities - at least that's how the General Services Administration wants [Federal] agencies to think about the impending transition to the Enterprise Infrastructure Services, or EIS, the massive contract for communications technologies and services.
It's been one year since GSA awarded spots on the 15-year, $50 billion contract for everything from basic phone service to wireless, VoIP and advanced communications infrastructure. Agencies have until May 2020 to transfer their communications contracts from GSA's old vehicle, Networx, to the new EIS.
