CACI Awarded $4.7 Million Y2K
Contract for Statewide Independent Verification and
Validation with Commonwealth of Virginia
ARLINGTON, Va., April 15 /PRNewswire/ -- CACI International Inc. (Nasdaq: CACI -
news) announced today that it has been awarded a contract by the Commonwealth of
Virginia's Century Date Change Initiative (CDCI) Project Office to provide independent
verification and validation (IV&V) for the Commonwealth's Year 2000 solutions to
agencies ranked within Level I. The delivery order award, drawn against an existing Y2K
contract CACI has with Virginia, is estimated to be worth $4.7 million dollars. CACI will
apply its Audit 2000 methodology across all of Virginia's agencies to support the
Commonwealth's goal of assuring that verification and due diligence have been performed
in all Y2K activities. For Level I Priority Business Activities, a full IV&V will be
conducted.
Virginia's CDCI Project Office monitors the Commonwealth's efforts to remediate its
information systems for Y2K compliance, and reports on these efforts to the Governor of
Virginia. While each Commonwealth agency is free to implement its own Y2K solution, the
CDCI Project Office oversees all implementations, and has contracted with CACI to
provide Level I third-party verification and validation that these solutions are proceeding as
planned.
CACI's technical approach will include its Audit 2000 professional services and training,
part of the company's Restore 2000SM millennium conversion methodology. Using
processes certified by the Information Technology Association of America as meeting the
highest standards for Y2K remediation, Audit 2000 helps organizations verify that the
investments they are making to bring their systems and software to Y2K compliance will be
effective. Service offerings range from a ''Y2K scorecard'' to progressively detailed
approaches that not only identify troublespots but also help implement their resolution.
''We're proud of our growing record of service with Virginia,'' said Ronald R. Ross, CACI
President and Chief Operating Officer. ''Choosing CACI as a vendor for Y2K IV&V
services ensures a consistent approach that brings efficiencies to the technical effort, and
delivers time and money savings in management. We ensure this through our proven Audit
2000 methodology, as well as the Y2K expertise we've refined through many engagements
with public and private sector clients alike. This award also is part of CACI's overall
initiative to provide an expanded solution set to our state and local client base.''
Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, CACI Chairman and CEO, said ''With CACI's support, the
Commonwealth of Virginia is providing independent assurance that its Y2K solutions will
meet the needs of Virginia's agencies, partners, clients, and vendors. By conducting
statewide verification and validation, Virginia is establishing a powerful model for
protecting technology investments and reducing the risk of potential litigation. The due
diligence CACI provides should be part of every smart public and private sector entity's plan
to address Y2K challenges, and the expertise we offer takes advantage of the industry's best
tools and practices.''
