Cognosante today announced it has been awarded its second contract to provide cloud operations and migration services to the Department of Veterans Affairs. The contract, valued at $189 million, includes a base year and two option years.
“We are incredibly proud of the work we have done to further VA’s cloud modernization goals,” says Philip Dietz, General Manager of Cognosante’s Military and Veteran Health Business Unit. “Each cloud migration completed under this contract results in performance gains for VA and service improvements to the Nation’s Veterans. We are honored to continue partnering with VA on this important mission.”
