For 无忧传媒, success is about getting to the core of the client mission.
When we launched the firm鈥檚 Vision 2020 corporate growth strategy, we focused on a set of key transformations that included moving closer to the center of our clients鈥 core missions; increasing the technical content of our work; leveraging innovation to deliver complex, differentiated, end-to-end solutions; and attracting and retaining superior talent in diverse areas of expertise. It was a significant strategic realignment from our business at that time and has been a journey that positioned us well for the market today. It required a significant shift in our workforce, but it reinvigorated our purpose and values as a firm, and it brought us closer to where our clients鈥 needs are today.
We know the pace of change is going to accelerate and the introduction of new technologies will continue to happen quickly. We continue to evolve our strategy and prepare for what's next around things like artificial intelligence (AI), 5G, quantum, and other new technologies because that鈥檚 what clients need, and where we can deliver exceptional value.
Technology innovation continues to be the biggest driver of change for clients鈥攁nd industry must continue to evolve.
Today, our biggest driver is the demand for innovation. Technology is at the center of clients鈥 missions and ours, and as we look at the future, we do not see technology as a set of tools鈥攚e see it as our world. Technology is driving change across every industry and driving innovation to the advancement of society.
In national security and across our business, 无忧传媒 is ideally positioned to help the government embrace the digital domain as we straddle both traditional government and emerging technology. Our position at the intersection of technology, innovation, and mission is unique. We鈥檙e a major capability provider without the constraints鈥攁gile and adaptive鈥攚ith the ability to deliver solutions at scale and speed, it鈥檚 important to be continually evolving to meet and exceed the pace of change around us.
Commercial organizations are changing the game for everyone.
As nontraditional players have started coming into the market as primes, it has provided an opportunity for us to think about how we can add more value鈥攚hether that鈥檚 as a strong technical partner or as an organization that can help maximize the value of commercial technology to drive adoption and mission success for government clients.
Ultimately, we see the rapid pace of change for emerging technologies not as a revolution, but an evolution鈥攚e鈥檙e focused on continually accelerating the adoption and implementation of new technologies. Our work incubating strategic innovations is highly focused on emerging technologies like cyber, AI, and digital transformation through cloud, blockchain, and others. We continue to expand our tech ecosystem through tech scouting and strategic partnerships to partner with commercial organizations, and our Solutions business has launched multiple products based on where we see needs in the market. As new organizations and technologies enter the market, our role and our business models will evolve, and we鈥檒l continue to adapt.
COVID-19 will shape the workforce and our future.
While we鈥檙e still waiting to understand the long-term impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic, we already know it has accelerated the need for tech solutions and innovation鈥攖here is a transformation happening now that will only continue. There is still a need for mission-critical solutions, and we need to work closely with our clients as agencies realign priorities to accommodate critical needs in areas like health, benefits delivery, cybersecurity, and accelerated tech modernization to meet the most essential needs. This is a team effort鈥攁s we say at 无忧传媒, 鈥渨e鈥檙e in it together鈥濃攁nd we remain focused on delivering critical solutions at scale and speed.听
