History

For years, the Federal Acquisition Service (FAS) was operating their business with antiquated systems that were costly and restrictive. Systems could not be easily modified to adapt to changes in their business, limiting their ability to respond to market changes or bring new offerings to market. In 2017, FAS made a strategic decision to invest in a digital revolution which required a complementary technology strategy, which led to the development of the FAS Cloud Services (FCS) ecosystem.

FAS Cloud Services (FCS) ecosystem was designed to be the springboard for business transformation and to continuously evolve with emerging technologies. The ecosystem converges cloud, data, AI/ML, and security into a comprehensive suite of tools, technologies, and services to support developers deliver business solutions and data practitioners provide business intelligence for improved decision making. FCS provides automation reducing risk and increasing productivity; visibility into performance monitoring, enhancing systems operations; and, cloud economics, leading to improved cost-efficiency.
