Guident snares GSA financial modernization

Guident Technologies Inc. won a task order to deliver services to help modernize and standardize systems for the chief financial officer of the General Services Administration.

The Herndon, Va., company will combine and develop nine systems into a platform from Business Objects S.A. The company also will roll out a new agencywide reporting tool that uses Business Objects' performance management applications.

Guident will implement the new systems in several phases during the next 12 months. The one-year task order is worth $1.9 million.

The company offers business intelligence and Oracle Corp. solutions and systems integration services to the government and commercial sectors.

Guident, which is certified as an 8(a) and small disadvantaged business by the Small Business Administration, ranks No. 3 on Washington Technology's 2006 Fast 50 list of the fastest growing federal IT small business contractors.
