Accelerating modernization and cloud migration to achieve mission transformation

Cloud

SAIC assesses the as-is state and, in collaboration with the customer, develops a cloud strategy with a target architecture and security objectives. This includes a plan for migrating applications and workloads to a desired state that aligns with the customer’s cloud environment and business goals.

EXPLORE
