Under the contract, Digital Management will lead a phased effort to:

• Implement industry-standard methodologies, processes, and management disciplines that will reinforce OSC's ability to execute its mission as it evolves into a "World-Class" Center of Excellence;
• Introduce new technologies, tools, and architectures to further modernize OSC service offerings—paving the way for OSC to fulfill an expanded role as the leading Maritime Data Fusion Service Center across DHS;
• Optimize operations around best practices, infuse project management disciplines, and develop enterprise efficiencies helping reduce Total Ownership Costs.

"We, along with our partners CSC and General Dynamics Information Technology (GDIT), are honored to have been selected to play a critical role ensuring the success of the Coast Guard's strategic mission," said Jay Sunny Bajaj, Digital Management's CEO. "This win makes me especially proud of our team. It's their commitment to pervasive excellence that has enabled us to build a business that our clients rely on to undertake their most critical IT initiatives.
