Time marches on ...

Softsol Technologies Inc., is being awarded a Firm Fixed Price contract for $10,969,599.00.

This requirement acquired service to transform the business application software currently being used by the Defense Security Assistance Management System from Sun Microsystems Unified Development Server environment, formerly known as Forte, and using Transactional Object-Oriented Language, to a new environment and language called .NET.


Editors note: The Defense Security Assistance Management System is part of the Defense Security Cooperation Agency which comes under the Undersecretary of Defense. Forte (formerly Sun Performance WorkShop Fortran) was a development environment for applications in Fortran and C on the Solaris Operating Environment. Forte HPC also provided for C++. Sun no longer supports these products. Really, you can't call .Net a language but rather it's Microsoft's proprietary application development environment.
