—  GSA EIS  —

Transformation
Enterprise Infrastructure Solutions (EIS) is one of the groundbreaking contracts that keeps the General Services Administration (GSA) at the forefront of delivering evolutionary telecommunication services to the federal government. With EIS, GSA has developed a contract framework for delivery of CenturyLink’s expansive suite of capabilities and solutions.  These services will not only deliver savings to the government and taxpayers, but will also help to transition a number of agencies into solutions to transform government networks.  By fully understanding an agency’s requirements and working with the right solutions available under EIS, CenturyLink can help federal agencies to achieve digital transformation through:

Network Convergence
Cloud Hosting
Managed Services
Cybersecurity
Data & Analytics

Why CenturyLink
The future of digital government depends on the ability to modernize network services. We help agencies and departments improve operational efficiency, gain greater IT agility, and better manage threats and risk.  

CenturyLink offers solutions from a platform of service offerings designed to ensure that federal government agencies benefit from continuous product innovation for cost-effective voice, networking, cloud, security, and professional services. Our services are layered in a fully converged architecture with integrated access, cybersecurity, diagnostic monitoring, and managed network services.  This will enable a smooth migration from legacy services to CenturyLink’s future programmable services backbone (PSB) that will offer network function virtualization (NFV) pods and software-defined networking (SDN).

Our product offerings are supported by a dedicated organization of people that is singularly accountable to and responsible for the federal government’s needs. Direct support to the EIS contract is provided by our EIS Program Management Office (PMO).

CenturyLink’s platform of solutions includes:

Service Related Equipment (SRE)—CenturyLink’s interface to the customer; delivering secure application access and data transport.
Network Access—multiple access types enable customizable solutions.
Network Services—advanced communication services that allow agencies to transform the business of government.
Cloud Services—full application and infrastructure virtualization allows agencies to support their missions with mobile, cost effective, and secure resources.
Application Marketplace—movement of services to the application layer requires a robust marketplace capability to rapidly add services. The EIS web interface will provide access for agencies to manage their services and add new services using click-button provisioning.
EIS Automation—CenturyLink’s future PSB will provide for NFV pods to be built directly into the network and data centers; a core component of CenturyLink’s NFV and SDN strategy.
