Electrosoft Services, Inc. announced today that it is kicking off a Two-Year (one Base and one Option Year) contract from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to design, implement and maintain an Enterprise Physical Access Control System (ePACS) capability.

The ePACS capability is an innovative technical approach to allow the VA to interconnect and centrally manage (e.g., provision, de-provision IDs for access to buildings, check status of ID badges, etc.) the multitude of standalone Physical Access Control System (PACS) implementations at the various VA facilities within the National Capital Region. Amongst other benefits such as improved security and lowered cost of management, this project will facilitate the VA’s progress in meeting the requirement to upgrade existing PACS to use PIV credentials in accordance with OMB M-11-11 (click http://www.whitehouse.gov/sites/default/files/omb/memoranda/2011/m11-11.pdf).
