DHS Awards InfoReliance $1.5M Contract for Microsoft Active Directory and Exchange Support

InfoReliance Corporation, a leading Northern Virginia information technology firm, announced today that it was selected by the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to assist with the architecture and implementation of their enterprise-wide Microsoft Active Directory and Exchange environments. Throughout the one year period of performance of the contract InfoReliance will work to integrate the email communication systems of the twenty-two components, bureaus and administrations that make up the DHS. These components came to DHS with vastly different information technology (IT) environments that must now be integrated in to “One DHS” to support the Department’s mission to prevent terrorist attacks, reduce the vulnerability of the U.S. to terrorism, and to minimize the damage and assist in the recovery from terrorist attacks that occur in the U.S.

The development and integration of the DHS Enterprise-Wide Active Directory and Exchange Environment will support their critical need for DHS personnel to rapidly access information and communicate not only across departmental components, but also externally, with other federal, state, and local entities.

William T. Williams, Co-Founder of InfoReliance, stated, “We are proud to have been awarded this very important contract. InfoReliance is a Gold Certified Microsoft Partner and can deliver the expertise that DHS needs. With this win, InfoReliance has the opportunity to significantly enhance the security, information sharing, and integrity of DHS information technology systems.”
