Best Practices for modernizing IT through Share in Savings Contracts

RSVPs Closed

GOVERNMENT NEEDS TO REBUILD AND UPGRADE ITS IT INFRASTRUCTURE. VENDORS ARE READY TO TAKE ON RISKS. HOW DO WE ENSURE GOVERNMENT AND SUPPLIERS CAN COME TOGETHER?

Governments at all levels are grappling with the need to invest in new technologies and modernize their legacy systems. But lack of resources and capital investment dollars can often prevent that from happening. Vendors are ready to take risks and put more "skin in the game."

Share-in-Savings contracts are the way for government to capitalize on vendor interest and capital. Share-in-Savings and incentive-based contracting methods are not new, but until recently they hadn't been fully considered through the lens of modern software delivery practices. With these new tools at our disposal, we just might unshackle agency budgets from their operations and maintenance chains.

Whether you're an IT program manager or a contracting/procurement professional, join our expert panel to find out the best practices and ins and outs on how to make Share-in-Savings contracts work.

Overview

Share in Savings is not a new concept but there are complexities associated with it. Now more than ever, given the need to modernize IT programs and infrastructure across the federal/state/local governments

There's a nice wave of momentum for modernizing legacy systems, from the Trump Administration's general plan to OPM's recent call for input on revamping the government's electronic personnel file.

For the public procurement professionals and digital service gurus examining the procurement mechanics to make this happen, here's reason to be optimistic: a technique from the not-too-distant past is slowly coming back into fashion.

Share-in-Savings and incentive-based contracting methods are not new, but until recently they hadn't been fully considered through the lens of modern software delivery practices. With these new tools at our disposal, we just might unshackle agency budgets from their operations & maintenance chains.

Is the ultimate form of performance-based contracting a fool’s errand? If you’re an IT professional or an acquirer of digital services, it's worth your while to find out.
