    Keeping in Touch with the OASIS Team
    This week I’d like to cycle back to the theme of Communications. If you’ve been paying attention to our announcements here, you will know that we recently posted details about our Information Forums at GSA Expo. I’d like to provide you all a little more insight into the nature of those sessions. GSA Expo will be held in San Antonio, TX from May 15 thru May 17. GSA Expo provides extensive training opportunities to federal, state, and local government employees and military members as well as showcases the wide variety of goods and services available on GSA contract vehicles.

    TechAmerica Federal Civil Group Meeting - OASIS PowerPoint (April 18, 2012)
    Today, I was fortunate enough to be able to speak to TechAmerica's Federal Civil Group about OASIS. As stated previously, when I attend meetings like this, I will share my presentation (if any) along with a summary of the discussion, in the interests of transparency. I provided an overview of the OASIS program:  its background, challenges, and benefits. The presentation is attached here. During the conversation, I reiterated the themes I've been discussing in my blog.

    Goodbye, Integrations. Hello, OASIS!
    Hello! For those of you visiting this community today, you may be asking yourselves, “What’s OASIS?” As you can see, Integrations has been renamed. OASIS, the official name of our new total professional services solution with an IT component, stands for One Acquisition Solution for Integrated Services. We believe this new name, generated with input from industry members, is representative of the true value this vehicle will bring to the Federal government.

    Greetings from Jim Ghiloni, New PM of Integrations!
    Welcome to the Integrations blog! My name is Jim Ghiloni and I’m the new Integrations PMO team lead. I wanted to come here and post a little about myself and provide a quick update. First, though, I want to take the opportunity to thank my predecessor, Lisa Maguire, for all the outstanding work she has done getting us to this point with Integrations. She has built an incredible foundation here and I look forward to the chance to continue along the path she has laid down. Thanks, Lisa!

    Welcome Jim. Previously there has been some discussion on this blog re strategy.  Many small businesses are in favor of a phased proposal process which lowers the cost for lots of firms and also can make it a bit easier for gov't evaluators....Read More

    Thank you for your feedback concerning a phased approach to the proposal process, we will consider this as we move forward with the acquisition strategy.  Integrations awards will be limited to best-in-class contractors and, unlike the MAS program,...Read More

    Lisa, any broad information at this time on what some of the big milestones might be as you move forward to publish an RFP?

     Thank you for your interest in Integrations. First, let me correct the assumption. Integrations is not a GWAC; it is a multi-agency, multiple award Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity task and delivery order contract. GWACs are for Information...Read More

    Thank you for two more creative suggestions for renaming Integrations.  Both are thought-provoking!  We are also interested in one-word names that are not acronyms but that evoke the sense of the acquisition - kind of like FUSION does.  ...Read More

    Professional Service Solutions and Technology: PSST Also, if you just want a word that captures the idea, but has not been overused, how about "immix?"

    Thank you for your interest in renaming Integrations.  Immix will be considered along with the other suggestions we have received.

    I do like the name "Fusion", however here are some "one-word" ideas to consider that are not necessarily acronyms.  All somewhat play off the idea of "coming together", "one" and/or "integrate...Read More
