3 Value for System Integrators Quality, cost and competitive differentiation are the major tenants for any system integrator (SI) delivering application development services in the Federal market. Bundle these with thought leadership, mission knowledge and accelerated time to market and you have a hand that s traditionally hard to beat. This is particularly relevant given the rapid pace of change in the IT world. Innovators and disruptors now have an equal seat at the table. They focus on progress over perfection, they create constantly, they are innovative thought leaders and like it or not they are reinventing and re-imagining tomorrow s business development and solution delivery lifecycle. System integrators are in a precarious spot today partner, integrate and embrace these new innovations or compete on legacy terms and pride. History has shown that the latter is a recipe for failure. Traditional channels such as acquisition and procurement are still a constraint for innovators and disruptors, but that is where the real opportunity is for SI s, only if approached strategically. Like their titles, innovators and disruptors are different. Differences becomes differentiation, and differentiation becomes new and compelling service offerings that result in new customer relationships, new wins and new revenue.
