Nortel’s U.S. Government Momentum
By Mark Evans | August 27, 2007
Is the U.S. government starting to look at Nortel in a new, favourable way?
It could be in light of the fact Nortel has won a $39-million contract to provide more program management services to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services over the next four years.
This is expected to help make USCIS more flexible and cost-effective in carrying out its mandate by augmenting USCIS staff with highly-skilled program management specialists.
“Two decades of providing IT management and support services to this and other Homeland Security agencies have given us a wealth of legacy knowledge and experience that helps us to support their critical missions,” said Chuck Saffell, who heads up Nortel Government Solutions. “We are very pleased USCIS has chosen to expand our supporting role with them.”
It might also help that Mike Zafirovski was nominated last month by President Bush to sit onthe National Security Telecommunications Advisory Committee.
