The award strengthens CACI's functional core competency in Enterprise IT and Network Services (EITN), drawing upon years of IT and network engineering as well as healthcare expertise. CACI's infrastructure support will help the CDC reach its goals of providing close to real-time gathering of health information, developing analytic tools for scientists, and enhancing public health and community collaboration.
