In its most recent Executive Spotlight interview, ExecutiveBiz spoke with Josh Jackson, senior vice president and portfolio lead for Science Applications International Corp.’s U.S. Navy and Marine Corps business, about the company’s recent contract win and CloudScend capabilities as well as the Navy’s human resource applications and tactical threat system challenges.
Here’s an excerpt from the interview with Jackson discussing CloudScend capabilities meant to drive cloud migration and optimization for the Navy’s IT modernization efforts:
“We look at and focus on analyzing the applications and the services just in case our main customer, my main customer of the Navy, digs deeper into how they’re using the applications, how they’re consuming data and storage, and making adjustments to ensure that the architecture is cost-effective and efficient.
One of the things that we’ve spent a lot of time doing is collaboratively rearchitecting the applications, the data and the entire solution, whether it’s leveraging a private, public hybrid cloud. SAIC’s CloudScend offers the flexibility and scalability to do all of those things in a secure manner while you’re simultaneously modernizing your software applications to work inside of that architecture.”
