There is an active debate across government and industry about whether agencies should work directly with a single vendor or rely on systems integrators. Each approach has clear pros and cons. While there are times when it makes sense for government to engage directly with an individual industry partner, the mission can often be better served when industry finds effective ways to collaborate with one another on the government’s behalf.
GDIT will host a discussion with Google exploring how “industry partnering with industry” can reduce friction, accelerate delivery, and create better outcomes for the mission. The conversation will highlight how this model benefits organizations like DISA and the Department of War, and how collaborative approaches between integrators and technology providers can scale innovation, improve interoperability, and deliver large, tangible wins for government customers.
