Job Summary The Office of the CIO (OCIO) of a major government agency requires contractor support to assist technical staff in understanding the technical dependencies, potential challenges and costs associated with separating a large portion of its IT services into an independent entity. IT services are defined as the IT systems (applications), data, and hardware that support the agency. This includes IT services housed at the agency’s facilities, data centers, and in the cloud, to include SaaS. The assessment will include more than 25 applications.
