The company said Wednesday it will provide managerial, administrative and technical support for the Veterans Health Information Systems and Technology Architecture and VistA Imaging platforms.

Under the follow-on contract, the company will also establish a center to troubleshoot hardware and software, monitor system performance and provide help desk services.
