Company: AnviCom | Command Federal
Location: Vienna, Va.
Top Exec: President David Kriegman
Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) has been getting a lot of buzz in government, thanks in part to a mandate passed down from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) demanding support of the new protocol across agencies by 2008. CIOs continue to scramble to make deadlines and to minimize the impact of a transition on their networks.
Enter AnviCom | Command Federal. The Vienna, Va.-based solution provider is a subsidiary of Command Information, the largest IPv6 services company in America. Combine that with its 15 years of experience in the federal market, and this is a company seriously positioned to take off.
But don't mistake AnviCom | Command as a company that's jumping on the bandwagon. Its focus is based on knowledge of IPv6-associated technologies and an understanding of the significance to the federal market that extends further back than the announcement of any OMB mandate.
"We believe that the importance of IPv6 is not just the transition, but rather how the new Internet standard can be leveraged to improve government services and the mission," says David Kriegman, president of AnviCom | Command Federal and member of the GovernmentVAR Editorial Advisory Board. He recently joined the company after serving as chief operating officer at Fairfax, Va.-based systems integrator SRA International.
Already, AnviCom | Command Federal assisted the DoD in its IPv6 transition planning and several IPv6 pilot projects, built an IPv6-enabled device for the Army, and operated some of the most strategic networks on behalf of the Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA). The company also began developing new first-responder solutions where sensors, video cameras and applications leverage such IPv6 functionality as mobility support, auto-discovery and the ability to form ad-hoc networks in crisis situations.
Furthermore, Kriegman is confident that the significance of IPv6 will go far behind any low-hanging fruit associated with the government transition.
"IPv6 will change everything," he says. "Just like the first-generation Internet changed virtually all systems and business, the next-generation Internet will empower dramatic improvements in the way people and systems operate."
