How 1E helped the US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) take their FITARA Software Asset Management score from F to A

Challenge

The US Department of Veteran Affairs (VA) was in a compromising position: they had received an F rating, equivalent to failing, two years in a row, in the Federal Information Technology Acquisition Reform Act (FITARA). FITARA was passed in 2015 to help the government regulate how they are buying and using software.

Solution

By working closely with 1E experts and utilizing the AppClarity tool, the VA transformed their infrastructure to go from an F rating to an A.

Benefits

Consequently, the VA has now saved an overwhelming $65 million dollars. Not only are the VA now rated an A in the FITARA scale, they are confidently moving forward in the right direction with the support from 1E.
