FCS Product Modernization Campaign

In an effort to clearly define and share FCS's vision and strategy for growth with our stakeholders and tenant community, FCS has developed and is set to release three key strategic elements as part of a larger Modernization Campaign:

  1. EcoSystem Modernization Strategy for FY24-26: Comprehensive strategy that outlines the framework for how FCS will achieve its goals and objectives, aligning with both the GSA Strategic Plan (Fiscal Years 2022–2026) and the FCS Information Security (FCS/IS) Partnership Strategy.
  2. FCS Product Roadmap: Overview of past product growth and future enhancements that provides FCS stakeholders insight to planned FCS improvements.
  3. Product Documentation: Comprehensive FCS product documentation covering the major product lines available via MKDocs. Information includes product definitions, features, underlying technologies, uses, security, How To's, and other resources. (Access to FCS Product Documentation is limited to users via Virtual Desktop or GFE)
Together, these three elements lay a solid foundation for growth and transformation, aligning innovation with strategic goals. The synergy between these aspects drives immediate progress and fosters sustainable evolution across the organization, maximizing efficiency and alignment with long-term objectives.
