Accenture has been awarded a U.S. Air Force enterprise-IT-as-a-service (EITaaS) Compute and Store agreement, which aims to improve mission outcomes through advanced technology solutions.
Accenture Federal Services (AFS) will deliver EITaaS Compute and Store solutions at six bases as part of a $66 million other transaction agreement (OTA) risk reduction effort (RRE). The six Air Force bases are: Buckley AFB in Colorado; Maxwell AFB in Alabama; Offutt AFB in Nebraska; Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson in Alaska; Cannon AFB in New Mexico; and Hurlburt Field in Florida.
If a portion of the base loses any capability, the Comm squadron has to perform maintenance on potentially several fronts spanning local and remote locations. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt. Darnell T. Cannady) Photo courtesy of Defense Visual Information Distribution Service (DVIDS).
To deliver the work, AFS will also use the recently expanded Accenture Federal Digital Studio, a collaborative environment where teams use service design principles to help federal government clients advance mission capabilities through innovation and rapid experimentation. This focus on innovation is key to the Air Force’s goals for EITaaS Compute and Store.

According to the Air Force, the work will provide hosting solutions for on-premises and cloud applications, as well as a disconnected-state capability to meet unique base-level missions. It is intended to provide the Air Force men and women currently assigned to manage data centers with the ability to concentrate instead on cyber-focused mission assurance.
