Mission-focused business leadership and acquisition modernization in the U.S. Air Force

The United States Air Force Contracting-Information Technology (CON-IT) program trusted an agile methodology and low-code automation technology to transform their legacy acquisition systems and processes in nine months. The CON-IT program has also unlocked data and improved acquisition analytics to drive efficiency and reduce costs.

Federal News Network’s Tom Temin is joined by Lieutenant Colonel Mark R. Wagner, the Air Force’s chief of contracting business systems and Ben Allen, Appian’s director of federal acquisition solutions, to explain how:

• The CON-IT program helped the U.S. Air Force avoid more than $80 Million in costs.
• The Air Force accelerated and simplified their contract writing processes.
• Federal agencies can automate their acquisition processes and systems with Robotic Process Automation (RPA) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
