Establishing and Managing Platforms and Services to Transform the Enterprise Ecosystem

Next generation cloud computing places enterprise IT architecture at the center of innovation and offers a new paradigm for customer experience. Criterion’s operational and engineering excellence helps our customers create and manage cloud infrastructure that is–by design–secure, scalable, usable, and resilient.  We accelerate architecture implementation to enable your organization to focus on its core mission.

Shifting from Infrastructure to Platforms and Services. Federal government IT infrastructure management is at an inflection point. The recent past has proven the viability of secure cloud solutions and many agencies have adopted a “cloud first” posture as a necessary and critical first step.  The next step is to change the mindset from a technological endeavor to establishing the platform for the business ecosystem. This means driving an intelligent, cloud-first strategy and moving beyond commodity cloud services to platforms and XaaS.
