The companies will also provide technical engineering services, including requirements analysis, systems engineering and integration, application development, implementation, training and lifecycle support services under an Army Programme Executive Office enterprise information systems programme.
GTSI chief executive officer Jim Leto said that the company looks forward to working with the army and other departments to help them build sophisticated asset management and supply chain solutions to meet their critical mission needs.
“By automating or applying technology applications to what was previously a purely manual task, customers will have real-time visibility of assets throughout their work centres and storage areas,” Leto said.
