General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems has today introduced GDNexus, an online community of technology providers who respond to existing customer needs. The initiative will help customers reduce acquisition risk and accelerate time-to-mission while creating new sales opportunities for companies that might otherwise not supply to the government.
Registered members can now propose technology responses to validated customer requirements from across the defense, federal, intelligence and commercial markets. Current member companies registered to help customers keep pace with technology advancements include NetApp and RSA, the security division of EMC.
“GDNexus is a way to match innovative solutions with validated customer requirements rapidly, efficiently and collaboratively,” said Nadia Short, vice president, Strategy and Business Development of General Dynamics Advanced Information Systems. “With cybersecurity remaining a top priority for our customers, GDNexus allows us to partner with experts from across multiple industries in a controlled, cooperative environment to drive new capabilities that our customers use to advance their missions and successfully navigate the constantly evolving threat landscape.”
Registered members of the GDNexus community receive immediate notification when new customer need statements are available and may respond through the online portal with relevant products or solutions. The GDNexus team then reviews the responses, performing a rigorous evaluation and provides the customer with an assessment of how the tools can support their mission.
“Our customer’s mission remains our number one priority. GDNexus is the culmination of our customer-centric open business model come to life,” said Short. “GDNexus also provides another important mechanism for us to act as an honest broker, bringing innovative technologies to our customers quickly as a prime systems integrator.”
