Realizing the benefits of such an approach requires close collaboration between federal agencies' CIOs and acquisition officers and the supplier ecosystem.</P><P>“OneGov refines earlier unification efforts by integrating robust security, streamlined acquisition, and a direct software OEM engagement model.
