FedSources Announces “Agency Drivers” Series
Firm Kicks off Monthly Release of High-Level Budget and Program
Information Driving Government Agencies
McLean, VA – FedSources, a Washington Management Group company, today
launched its new “Agency Drivers” series – a series of monthly releases that provide
high-level budget information as well as a list of the top-funded information
technology programs within individual government agencies.
Each month FedSources will focus on a different agency, providing unique figures
based on that agency’s unique mission. With this information, contractors can gain
valuable insight into agency spending priorities and, in turn, plan program targets
and partnering strategies accordingly.
“This kind of information is critical for companies looking to do business with the
government,” says Bill Gormley, President and CEO of FedSources. “Understanding
where agencies are spending their money will help government contractors better
position themselves to win those federal bids.”
FedSources has dedicated a unique page on its website where it will post updated
Agency Drivers information each month.
