Operations and Maintenance (Managed Services)

As a value-added service offering, GC&E added Operations and Maintenance (O&M) support services to its technical services portfolio some years ago. It offers clients an alternative to performing the work themselves, and when considering the investment in training and other employee costs, it can often be done by an external source (contractor) more efficiently and economically. GC&E provides a significant amount of O&M support, particularly for Federal Government clients. The following is a typical list of telecommunications and IT/network services that GC&E performs for our federal, state, and local government agencies, and our commercial clients:
