Your transition to EIS shouldn’t be complicated.

The EIS Transition Guide will help you navigate the requirements and considerations of transitioning to EIS.

You face tough decisions, tight timelines and budgetary restrictions, all while needing to ensure performance and uptime during times of transition and modernization. Verizon has managed many previous major contract transitions. This brings federal agencies the experience to provide ongoing performance of your network and communications technologies during your agency’s transition. Verizon’s long legacy of delivering communications solutions that meet the needs of federal agencies helps you keep your focus on the mission.

Modernization brings federal agencies both opportunities and challenges.
