With recent BIS staff cuts further limiting staffing recourses skilled in Open Systems technologies as well as diminishing training and travel funds, integrating staff augmentation SME with DEA development teams provides a win-win for both our staff and the program offices we serve. Without this integrated resource mentoring and supporting our development teams, the level of program support would significantly diminish and the sourcing strategy would then change requiring work to be completely outsourced.
