Welcome to Accelerating Government with ACT-IAC on Federal News Network.

Now your host, Dave Wintergren.

Welcome to the show that brings together government and industry leaders to accelerate government mission outcomes.

On today's show, we're delighted to be talking with some champions of the recently released ACT-IAC Federal HR Management Technology Market Research Project.

Gary and Jim, as I said, have had recent appearances on the show.

But for Mark and Steve, I'm going to give you each an opportunity to introduce yourselves.
