VA has issued an RFI to satisfy a “need for a secure cloud-based Enterprise Mobility Management (EMM) system. The purpose of having a single provider of a cloud-based ‘out-of-the-box’ Software as a Service (SaaS) implementation is to reduce implementation complexity as well as future upgrade complications. This also will enable consolidation and automation of EMM processes, increase efficiencies, lower costs, and provide the ability to devote more time to innovation and creation of customer-focused solutions. The cloud-based tool should improve business performance by providing VA end users with expanded and new capabilities that reflect industry standards.”
“The SaaS EMM solution under this Performance Work Statement (PWS) will satisfy the requirement of having a fully managed out-of-the-box EMM system, including all turnkey operations and Tier 4 support.”
“VA requires a fully migrated and operational VA EMM system by September 12, 2018. This shall be at a new Contractor-provided location that is fully functional. VA will allow the incoming Contractor to continue operation of the current environment for up to three months after September 12, 2018 to allow for a longer transition to the new SaaS.”
“The Contractor shall provide a managed solution for a cloud hosted out-of-the-box EMM SaaS solution for all VA-issued mobile devices including iOS, Windows mobile, and Android phones and tablets. The managed solution shall include all hosting, software, hardware, and operations and maintenance (O&M) required to create and maintain an operational VA EMM system as described in this PWS. The Contractor can assume turnkey operations of the current environment while planning the move to an alternate FedRAMP Moderate environment…”
Responses are due by May 24, 2018.
