Seeking Public Sector Sales Leads? 9 Key Questions to Ask | Onvia

in Blog by

The business-to-government (B2G) market is a dynamic one that is constantly changing.

SMBs are Spending Big on IT! Are They Spending Right? – Anthony Bradley | Gartner

in Blog by

Sometimes it seems like the prevailing thinking is that small and medium sized businesses don’t have the desire or money to invest in information technology. Perhaps it used to be that way. It isn’t anymore. SMB leaders are more and more recognizing that information technology is either an opportunity for competitive advantage or a threat. There is no in-between. Technology isn’t neutral to SMB competitiveness. SMBs must invest in IT to compete effectively against evolving larger businesses. But another important set of competitors are new SMBs that position technology as core to their differentiated value. It is good to see that spending stats are reflecting the importance of IT to SMB success.

At Last, Some Relief for DOE Contractors | PNWC’s Government Contracting Update

PNWC's Government Contracting Update

For the past few years, the Department of Energy (DOE) has taken an extremely literal approach to contractors claiming overtime for employee training purposes. FAR 31.205-44(a) , Training and Education Costs, states that overtime compensation for training and education is unallowable. DOE has taken the position that there can be no exceptions to this rule. It didn’t matter whether a contractor could show that it was more cost effective to pay overtime for training than to hire additional staff to cover contract-required services. It didn’t matter that certain training was specifically mandated by contract and not discretionary. It didn’t matter that the training contributed significantly to contractor employee health and safety. Contractors had to find a way to do all of this without incurring overtime.

Dave Mader: MGT Act poised to become law via NDAA – FederalNewsRadio.com

The Modernizing Government Technology Act, by most reckoning, will become law by way of the National Defense Authorization Act. The MGT will give federal chief information officers something they’ve long wanted —a central fund of $3 billion from which they can draw to update obsolete IT systems. Each agency would have its own, smaller modernizing fund. Dave Mader, the former controller of the Office of Management and Budget and now the chief strategy officer for the civilian sector at Deloitte, joins Federal Drive with Tom Temin in studio to discuss the implications.
