Carahsoft will work with Deloitte and Immix Technology to offer SAP and Kronos SaaS platforms.
Grant Thornton has teamed up with CGI Federal and The Arcanum Group to provide agencies access to Infor services.
GSA Administrator Emily Murphy said NewPay supports the administration’s efforts to increase efficiency and focus on high-value work and seeks to help agencies upgrade their systems through SaaS adoption.
Suzette Kent, federal chief information officer, said the BPA marks a milestone in the government’s shared services initiative as part of the management agenda.
The agency awarded the BPA four months after it issued a presolicitation for the SaaS procurement program.
