| #1 Ah, NMCI... Since Hewlett-Packard owned all of the data about the network’s operation, simply shifting to a self-run network wasn’t going to happen by waving a magic wand, and the planning process had been hampered by a lack of information—information the Navy had to buy from HP. So the Navy pulled together a sole-source contract for HP to continue to support NMCI past 2010 while it figured out what to do next. Now, four years later, the Navy is finally in the middle of the first phase of getting off NMCI and moving to NGEN. The winner of that contract, which could end up totaling over $3.4 billion dollars, was HP. I may complain about the NMED network, but at least it works and NMED owns it. |
