Background
Increasingly, the Department of Defense (DoD) and federal agencies acquire software-intensive systems instead of building them with internal resources. However, acquisition programs frequently have difficulty meeting aggressive cost, schedule, and technical objectives.
Through the Acquisition Support Program (ASP), the SEI works directly with key acquisition programs to help them achieve their objectives. Teams of SEI technical experts work in actual acquisition environments in the army, Navy, Air Force, as well as other DoD and civil agencies, applying SEI products and services in specific contexts.
Vision
The vision of the Acquisition Support Program is to facilitate the rapid establishment of agile teams composed of acquirers, developers, and operators using SEI technologies to provide evolutionary, high-quality, cutting edge software-intensive capabilities to the war-fighter.

Training
The Acquisition Support Program has developed a new course, Software Acquisition Survival Skills. See other related courses and conferences that may be of interest to acquisition professionals.
