There is much more significance to this NEXUS alliance than appears on the surface. NEXUS is a minority owned, 8(a) certified firm, meaning it has a distinct advantage established by law when bidding on government work. Firms qualified as 8(a) receive work specifically set-aside for them to encourage their growth and success. The federal contract process for them is also streamlined for the rapid turn on of billable work, not the typical lengthy government procurement cycle. I notice NEXUS also has an alliance with OAO, a company in the Washington D.C. metro area that does a ton of federal work. This means NEXUS has the ability to get to the government contract vehicles already used by OAO. The current CEO of OAO is Emmett Paige, who until a few months ago was Assistant Secretary of Defense for Command, Control, Computers, Communications and Intelligence. He is a highly regarded retired Army general who was asked by the Clinton Administration to take the DoD job and held it several years. One of his responsibilities was managing Year 2000 for the Department of Defense. I think he knows where the business is. In short, TPII now has a venue to all that federal work. (Canadian companies, as a fellow NATO member, already routinely do a lot of work for the US Government, even in some of the classified areas.) With the US government so far behind, this is a natural for the combined Bigisoft/TPII toolset.
