DLT Solutions – An IT Solutions Provider to All Levels of Government
DLT began operations in 1991 as a small GSA reseller with no business infrastructure. Since then we’ve evolved into an award-winning value-added reseller and information technology solutions provider to the public sector.
In the past 20 years, we have learned quite a bit about the challenges and opportunities of selling and marketing to the government; from aligning ourselves with top-tier manufacturers to provide systems integrators, resellers, and end customers with best-in-class software, hardware, and the services to make them both work.
DLT Solutions doesn’t try to be all things to all people; we just try to be the best at what we do.
And if recent financial and performance results are anything to go by, it is succeeding with flying colors. Our success of selling to the public sector has allowed DLT to celebrate our fourth consecutive year of more than 20% sales growth.
And our performance has been rewarded. DLT has consistently recognized for both performance and value. In recent years, we’ve been honored by earning the following awards and distinctions:
- GSA IT Catalog Ranks DLT Solutions as Top IT GSA Contractor for 2009
- DLT Solutions Receives Federal Partner of Excellence Award
- DLT Solutions and XO Communications Announce Federal Government Services Agreement
- DLT Solutions Recognized as Red Hat's 2009 Public Sector Partner of the Year
- DLT Solutions Ranked in Top 100 Technology Integrators by Everything Channel

We’re still in the first quarter of the fiscal year and headed toward the holiday season. Historically, that predicates a slower pace across the federal sector, but not this year. This year, artificial intelligence (AI) is having a moment, and nearly everyone across the public sector, including the White House and The Office of Management and Budget (OMB), has something to say about it.

For federal IT pros, moving to a cloud environment is a “when” rather than an “if” proposition. From the government’s recently released Report on IT Modernization, calling for agencies to identify solutions to current barriers regarding agency cloud adoption, to the White House’s draft release of a new “Cloud Smart” policy, which updates the “Cloud First” policy introduced in 2010; cloud migration continues to be a priority.

Whether you’re a civil engineer, CAD manager, or anyone working on a digital design project, one thing is certain – you’re never the sole collaborator in the process. Contractors, AEC firms, field personnel, even facilities managers, have their hands in the mix too. And that creates a problem for version control and the potential for incorrect information in the field. How do you know you’re working with the most current information? If you’re using traditional non-digital workflows, it’s a problem you likely encounter once too often.

Microsoft Active Directory is a critical tool that helps system administrators manage user privileges and secure their IT infrastructure, yet Active Directory presents several security challenges. Most problematic is that Active Directory’s attack surface is huge. Targets for attack include every domain name user account, admin and security group, domain controller, backup, admin workstation, and admin delegations and privileges. If any one of these targets is compromised, your entire Active Directory can be compromised too.

Since Target’s hack back in 2013, cybersecurity has been top of mind for organizations, especially those with sensitive information. However, the talent pool of those who are skilled in intrusion detection, secure software development and attack mitigation is not growing at the same rate as the demand. Many reasons contribute to this disconnect, including a lack of training in higher education and a 53% increase in need.

Amazon Web Services (AWS) just announced that the Elastic File System (or "EFS") is a live production service. The service is provisioned out of three regions currently: US-EAST-1, US-WEST-2, and EU-WEST-1.
EFS was originally announced over a year ago at AWS re:Invent in 2015. By AWS standards, the service has been in "preview" for quite some time. I'll admit to you, I was getting a little skeptical that it was going to make it out of preview, but hey, it's good to be wrong sometimes.

Reality capture technology as a means of capturing existing as-built conditions has been around for some time. Terrestrial laser scanning or LiDAR is just one example of reality capture (or recap) at work. But recap hasn’t always been easy. Scanning techniques are often expensive and the task of incorporating and manipulating large data sets (point clouds) during the design process is tricky.
