Verizon Business, a long-term trusted partner of the National Weather Service (NWS), has been awarded a task order valued at nearly $80 million to transition the NWS's current voice and data services from the Networx contract to the Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) vehicle. The transition will help support the NWS's mission-critical work by providing weather, water and climate data, forecasts, warnings and impact-based decision support services.
To facilitate the transition, the NWS, an agency within the Department of Commerce (DOC), sought a vendor with the proven ability to:
- Increase the cost-effectiveness of its services
- Reduce total cost of ownership
- Improve network performance and manageability
- Incorporate new technologies into its transformational roadmap
Verizon Business's extensive experience in network infrastructure modernization and connectivity solutions made them an ideal partner for this critical project.
