John Gilroy, Moderator Federal Tech Podcast x Reid Jackson, Unison
Technology comes and goes; you can call it the cloud, zero trust, or even Artificial intelligence. In early 2025, we see stress that we have not seen before.
The GAO has issued a report examining the federal IT Acquisition process and concluding that it needs to strengthen oversight, implement a mature acquisition strategy, and have a capacity-capable system.
Today, we sat down with Reid Jackson from Unison to discuss how to make these key acquisitions. During the interview, he discussed Acquisition Management, Cost Engineering, Virtual Acquisition, and Project Management.
" It's kind of the unglamorous side of achieving these missions. But, you know, when it goes well and it goes smoothly, it just disappears nicely into the background." Reid Jackson, Unison
