Automation Technologies Inc. (ATI) has been under contract to support the Navy organization DASN (ACQ) since July 2003. ATI was tasked by the DASN (ACQ) client, Mr. Page Glennie, to complete the certification and accreditation activities of DITSCAP and ensure that the DON Acquisition One Source website fully complied with all DOD information assurance regulations.
While the One Source website has been fully operational and publicly available since November of 2003, ATI began initial DITSCAP tasks in November of 2005 and completed their final activities nine months later in August of 2006.
