FAS Strategic Initiatives
As FAS-IT enables the FAS business through technology, we also have to ensure we align to the overall technology strategy of GSA-IT. GSA-IT's Strategic Plan focuses on building on the partnerships we have with the business to help improve their customers' experience through quality IT products and services, and investing in innovation to ensure we can meet the current and future customer needs. Additionally, GSA-IT has an internal focus to improve the cybersecurity posture of our systems and improve operational efficiencies through more automation in how we deliver.
