Moran: Finalize the VA contract this month or Cerner may reassign their 900 IP engineers to other projects

“… If the contract isn’t finalized this month, Moran wrote, the VA will put the program at serious risk of derailing its early implementation, and the savings and efficiencies that would otherwise come from a timely launch.

“[F]urther delay disrupts your implementation plan that requires 900 Cerner IP engineers to support the VA’s deployment of the system in the Pacific Northwest,” reads the letter, which his staff sent to FedScoop. “Unless you finalize the contract this month, there will be a considerable shift within Cerner to reassign there 900 IP engineers to other projects, which will be difficult to reset or recommit to this contract in the future.”
