Markets Wired

IRVING, Texas, Oct. 04, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Exela Technologies, Inc. (“Exela”) (NASDAQ: XELA), a location-agnostic global business process automation (“BPA”) leader across numerous industries, today announced that, together with General Dynamics Information Technologies (“GDIT”), it has been selected by the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (“VA”) to provide services under the VA’s new $2 billion Veterans Intake, Conversion, and Communication Services (“VICCS”) program. Exela and GDIT teamed to bid for the VICCS project and have been selected as one of six recipients of an award from the VA. The contracts with Exela and GDIT will have a maximum potential value of $900 million over a 5-year term and represents the largest potential contract in Exela’s history.

“Exela is honored to serve our Nation’s Veterans,” said Suresh Yannamani, President, Exela Technologies. “Our ongoing work with the VA is an important part of their digital journey to address the benefit needs of Veterans and we look forward to our continued partnership.”

This award promises to expand Exela’s current role in assisting with Veterans’ benefits claims nationwide and is the consequence of many years of investment by Exela in digital healthcare technologies and services to help better serve our Country’s Veterans.  The award builds on an existing relationship between Exela and GDIT, in which GDIT initially selected Exela to assist with data intake and automated business process solutions for a VA contract awarded in 2015 handling some of the VA’s most challenging claims benefits tasks within the department.

“We are pleased to work with Exela to implement the solutions necessary to better service the VA through this program,” said Kamal Narang, VP & General Manager, Federal Health Sector, GDIT. “Our Nation’s Veterans deserve quicker administration of benefits, using higher qualities of data, with an increase in the overall insight into the benefits administration programs.”
