Follow on Google News | ![]() BUCHANAN & EDWARDS to be Gold Sponsor of the US Department of State / Virginia PTAP GovernmentBy: Virginia PTAP "We appreciate Buchanan & Edwards, Inc. (BE) for giving back to the small business community by supporting the mission of the U.S. Department of State and Virginia PTAP. As a successful State Department small business contractor and PTAP client, BE's participation in the event is a wonderful example of the mutually beneficial, collaborative environment between industry and government." BE's State Department work dates back to the founding of the company: "From our beginning supporting one Department of State Bureau in 1998, BE's customer base has growth to 26 Bureaus, including all regional bureaus. Within the U.S., we provided system architecture design and modernization for the Bureau of Human Resources' Foreign Service Bidding Application (FSBid) to improve system functionality and enhance the overall user experience. For the Bureau of Information Resource Management (IRM) Systems Integration Office (SIO), we support the world's largest Government SharePoint implementation. We have developed automated scripts that enable us to create a new SharePoint server farm within hours. Globally, we developed a solution for the U.S. Embassy in Pretoria, South Africa that streamlines the invoice approval process, improves management visibility and reporting, and minimizes the risk of lost invoices and late payments. Our leading edge solutions include implementations that have been deployed on-premises as well as to the cloud. These solutions were for R/PPR and ECA. For R/PPR, we were trailblazers in regards to deploying secure solutions to the cloud as policies regarding cloud were and continue to be crafted by the Department. We also provide SharePoint support for the US Consulate in Frankfurt, Germany. Through our support of other DoS programs, such as the Human Resources Knowledge Center, we touch the daily work of DoS employees around the world." The inaugural conference is currently SOLD OUT at over 300 participants, including small businesses, large primes, and several government agencies that operate in the international space, including USIAD, Department of State, and the Department of Commerce.
