This workshop for the acquisition community included presentations about the SEI technical program along with planning sessions with the DoD Software Collaborators and other DoD personnel, a network of providers of software research, services, and products that help program managers, software developers. With more than 85 people in attendance, the event provided the SEI with the opportunity to meet with DoD stakeholders to understand their needs and to discuss transition and adoption strategies, success criteria, and outcome metrics.

Relationships established at this workshop led to memoranda of understanding for collaborations with the MITRE Corporation, the Aerospace Corporation, and the Applied Physics Laboratory at Johns Hopkins University.
