Federal Arm Secures Five-Year Deal For Artificial Intelligence System
Accenture’s federal arm has secured a potential five-and-a-half year, $480.4 million contract to develop an artificial intelligence-centric system for managing tasks and correspondence across the Defense Department. The Joint Enterprise Task Management System will cover 200,000 users and is intended to replace two legacy platforms. The system will feature a desktop and mobile interface, single sign-on tools, and integration with Microsoft 365. The contract was awarded through a commercial solutions opening, according to the Pentagon’s awards digest, as reported by an unknown source.
