DHA Contracting on behalf of the Defense Health Management Systems Program Executive Office (PEO DHMS) is pleased to invite you to attend an Industry Day focused on the upcoming Enterprise Software Solutions (ESS) Next initiative. This event is designed to foster collaboration and open communication between industry partners and the government, and will provide a unique opportunity for you to: ? Learn about the ESS Next requirements ? Engage in interactive discussions with government representatives to explore how your company's capabilities align with our needs ? Ask questions and seek clarification on the initiative's objectives ? Network with other industry professionals and government stakeholders ESS Next aims to provide users with the digital and physical capabilities needed to support the development, testing, and delivery of digital products and applications for the Military Health System (MHS) Enterprise. Specifically, ESS Next will offer users access to a standardized list of service offerings from which they can seamlessly self-provision various digital, virtual, and physical services and capabilities. For example, services available for provisioning include, but are not limited to, software services (managed tools/technologies used to execute development and testing), infrastructure services (compute, network, storage), physical space and support services (physical area to perform testing in the Medical Enterprise Test Innovation Center (METIC), technical and logistical support to conduct Operational Assessment (OA) events), virtual desktop services, and containerization services (serverless compute engine). Ultimately, the goal of ESS Next is to transition existing services to a hybrid “everything as a service” model and ensure users are able to quickly access the tools they need to perform the development and testing of mission-critical products while providing the organization the flexibility to scale, innovate, and optimize costs. Industry Day slides will be posted to this announcement following the event.
