This includes providing support and expertise for: DoD Business Enterprise Architecture, Telecommunications Contracting, System Integrations, Data Warehousing, transactions occurring between systems, user training, governance documentation, data migration support (e.g., import/export, scripting) and reporting capabilities to the IDEAS Government Acquistion System built on the Appian Platform.
