GDIT’s Rob Smallwood on the rise of managed services in government

Seismic shifts in technology solutions — and a need for modern IT skills — are prompting a sizeable portion of federal agencies to bring in managed service providers (or MSPs) to advance their IT needs.

In this exclusive video spotlight, Rob Smallwood, vice president for digital modernization and enterprise IT at General Dynamics Information Technology, highlights the forces driving agencies to adopt, or consider, MSPs to play a more significant role in their IT operations.

Smallwood touches on the findings of a new FedScoop study on managed services, underwritten by GDIT; looks at what agencies sometimes misunderstand in transitioning to a managed IT services model; and cites examples of how MSPs have made a compelling difference for agencies.
