    Many of the requirements detailed in this RFI strongly correlate with nVirtua’s capabilities and past performance. Therefore, we would be very interested in teaming to bid, and are certainly open to serving as a subcontractor for this project.

    nVirtua is a Small Disadvantaged Business providing Data Transformation as a Service (“dTaaS™”). While, on one hand, dTaaS encompasses how we specialize in giving clients access to their data when, how, and wherever they need it – which includes managing all types of data, both structured and unstructured, building custom connections or applications, or pushing data to client-selected endpoints as necessary.

    On the other hand, dTaaS is also the foundation of the nVirtua business strategy and data-centric philosophy for architecting solutions that solve real-world challenges.
