We can expect to see a continued, dramatic slowdown in U.S. government IT spending. So how do tech contractors stay in the hunt for what’s left of the pie? By focusing on specific strengths and finetuning this into a valuable niche, according to Hilary Fordwich. There’s more demand than ever for efficiencies and savings, she says.
As host of the new WUSA Channel 9 program, Government Contracting Weekly, Fordwich offers these and other revealing insights exclusively for our Five Minutes With podcast program. Set to debut on Sept. 16, Government Contracting Weekly will air at 7 a.m. ET on Sundays locally in the Greater Washington DC region, before the CBS Sunday morning shows. Listen to our conversation in our podcast about federal IT contracting.
