Goldman Edwards Wins $18M FAA Designee Management System (DMS) Prime Task Order Through GET Joint Venture on FAA ITIPSS

Published

By

BETHESDA, Md., June 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Goldman Edwards, serving as the Prime Contractor and Managing Partner through the Goldman Edwards Tantus (GET) Joint Venture, today announced the award of an $18 million Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) Designee Management System (DMS) support task order under the FAA Information Technology Innovative Procurement for Strategic Sourcing (ITIPSS) contract vehicle.

The five-year task order supports the mission of the Federal Aviation Administration to modernize and enhance the Designee Management System, a critical platform supporting FAA operational and aviation safety oversight functions. The award was highlighted by OrangeSlices AI.

The award represents another major milestone for Goldman Edwards as the company continues expanding its portfolio of FAA and Department of Transportation modernization programs and reinforces the company’s growing reputation as a trusted prime contractor across the federal transportation sector.

“This award is another strong example of the trust and confidence the FAA and Department of Transportation continue to place in Goldman Edwards and our team,” said Jerrod Moton, Chief Executive Officer of Goldman Edwards. “Winning this FAA DMS task order as a prime through our Joint Venture further validates our ability to deliver mission-critical modernization, cybersecurity, and enterprise IT solutions in highly complex operational environments.”

Moton added, “Goldman Edwards brings deep FAA and DOT experience that allows us to understand the operational, technical, and mission challenges agencies face across the transportation ecosystem. Our team has supported major initiatives involving FAA modernization, DOT enterprise IT operations, cybersecurity, digital transformation, cloud modernization, and mission support services. That experience gives our customers confidence that we can deliver solutions aligned with real operational outcomes and long-term modernization goals.”

The company noted that its experience supporting enterprise IT operations and modernization initiatives across the transportation sector uniquely positions Goldman Edwards to help agencies modernize faster while improving operational consistency, governance, customer experience, and mission delivery.

“The FAA is entering a transformative era of modernization and innovation across aviation systems, digital infrastructure, and operational technology,” Moton continued. “Goldman Edwards is proud to support that mission through scalable, secure, and forward-looking technology solutions that improve operational performance, strengthen safety systems, and support the future of aviation.”

The Designee Management System plays an important role within the FAA by supporting oversight, management, and operational coordination of FAA designees who help carry out critical aviation safety and certification activities across the national aviation ecosystem.

“This was truly a team effort and reflects the strength of the partnership between Goldman Edwards and Tantus,” Moton said. “Our teams continue to demonstrate a shared commitment to innovation, operational excellence, customer success, and mission delivery.”

The award further strengthens Goldman Edwards’ growing position within the FAA and broader transportation sector, where the company continues supporting initiatives involving enterprise modernization, cybersecurity, cloud transformation, AI-enabled operations, data modernization, and digital service delivery.

The task order was awarded under the FAA’s $2.4 billion ITIPSS contract vehicle, a major modernization vehicle supporting non-National Airspace System (non-NAS) IT mission requirements across the agency.

“At Goldman Edwards, we continue to invest in elite talent, proven partnerships, and emerging technologies that allow us to bridge the gap between commercial innovation and government mission delivery,” Moton said. “Our customers trust us because we understand how to deliver modernization initiatives that are practical, scalable, secure, and aligned to operational outcomes.”

Jamf launches AI Governance, a first-of-its-kind native AI control plane for Mac

New capability gives enterprises visibility, control and governance for AI tools running across managed Mac fleets, addressing today’s gap between usage and confidence

SINGAPORE, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Jamf, the standard in managing and securing Apple at work, today announced general availability of AI Governance, a new capability within Jamf for Mac that enables IT and security teams to discover actively-used AI tools, enforce policy controls, and generate audit-ready reporting. This move makes Jamf first-to-market to deliver native, OS-level AI governance controls for Mac. Jamf will be showcasing this new capability at its Jamf Nation events taking place in Sydney, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong in August 2026.

Many organizations struggle to confidently audit and report on AI tool usage across their device fleet, including both sanctioned applications and unsanctioned or prohibited tools. AI Governance provides comprehensive visibility into which AI applications are in use, along with detailed insights into how they behave on the endpoint. This enables organizations to understand AI activity at a level that network- and cloud-based reporting solutions alone cannot provide, helping security teams identify risk, support compliance, and make informed governance decisions.

With launch support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex, the capability provides deep governance coverage across model access, tenancy, network permissions, file system controls, MCP server restrictions, and other vendor-specific AI configurations. A vendor control tracking engine continuously monitors supported AI platforms for new or updated controls, helping organizations keep governance policies current as AI tools rapidly evolve.  All of these policies are in place offline and before a user’s first login to an AI agent, enforcing a foundational day-zero and tamper-resistant policy baseline.

The only native Mac control plane for enterprise AI

AI tools run natively on Apple Silicon and operate as processes that existing network proxies and cloud-based tooling cannot fully see or govern. No existing tool unifies platform-native device management, deep AI tool configuration coverage, and a workflow that translates governance intent into vendor-correct configuration on macOS.

Jamf AI Governance closes that gap by enabling visibility of Shadow AI and providing granular AI configurations natively, deployed in minutes, through the same endpoint management control plane that admins use today, offering:

Visibility: AI application visibility and shadow AI discovery surface AI tools, agents, and LLM runtime across the fleet (including CLI-based developer tools and background agents) using Jamf’s existing telemetry agent, which uses native and high-performance macOS frameworks. No new agent is required.Control: AI access policy controls let IT define sanctioned tools, deploy access policy at scale, and scope different postures to different teams. Vendor-correct configurations can be applied automatically at scale.Governance: An executive AI posture report provides CIOs and CISOs with a snapshot-in-time summary of AI usage. The capability offers SIEM compatibility and is designed to assist companies in reporting against their existing compliance frameworks.

“AI adoption across the enterprise is moving faster than existing technology policies can keep up,” said Beth Tschida, CEO at Jamf. “Organizations need governance that matches the way AI tools actually operate on Mac. This means visibility into what’s running, policy controls enforced directly on the endpoint, and reporting that helps security teams demonstrate compliance. Our AI Governance capability delivers that natively from the same platform customers already trust to manage and secure Apple devices.”

“Like many organizations, we want to enable teams to use AI tools productively while maintaining appropriate governance and oversight,” said Sam Lalli, Security Engineering & SOC Manager at Eventbrite “What impressed us about Jamf’s AI Governance was how quickly we could apply policy across our Mac fleet without adding another point solution or creating friction for developers. Having this critical capability built into the same device management platform we already use, really simplifies AI governance for our team.”

AI governance urgency is accelerating

The need for enterprise AI governance is accelerating as organizations rapidly adopt AI-powered tools across employee workflows. Jamf’s recently released AI Governance Survey found that organizations with deeply integrated AI are 40% more likely to report an incident than those still in the exploration phase, suggesting AI governance is quickly becoming an operational requirement rather than a future planning exercise.

Gartner® mentions, “With spending on AI governance expected to reach $492 million in 2026 and surpass $1 billion by 2030, organizations are reassessing the tools and strategies needed to stay ahead of both regulatory and operational risk.” Further, in its Top Cybersecurity Trends for 2026 report, Gartner also says that, “Cybersecurity leaders must identify both sanctioned and unsanctioned AI agents, enforce robust controls for each and develop incident response playbooks to address potential risks.”

Jamf’s AI Governance capability is now available in Jamf for Mac with immediate support for Claude Code, Claude Desktop, and OpenAI Codex. Learn more about Jamf AI Governance at: https://www.jamf.com/solutions/ai-governance

Published

By

SINGAPORE, July 1, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Digital travel platform Agoda today announced a series of new features designed to help travelers plan and manage their trips with greater confidence. The latest updates include real-time flight visibility, an enhanced hotel browser, and AI-powered tools that make choosing the right property faster and more intuitive.

Travelers booking flights through Agoda on iOS and Android can now receive real-time updates throughout their journey. Once a booking is confirmed, Agoda automatically sends updates on flight status, gate and terminal information, check-in counters, and baggage carousels, averaging two to three notifications per booking.

On the hotel side, Agoda introduced Gallery View on its iOS app, giving users a photo-forward way to browse search results. A new AI-powered feature also automatically pairs hotel images with relevant guest reviews, so when users look at a room type, a pool, or a restaurant, they can immediately see what other guests have said about that specific feature.

Ittai Chorev, Chief Product Officer at Agoda, said: “Travel is always a little stressful, so having the right information at the right time is both useful and reduces stress. Whether that means seeing the reviews that matter to you alongside relevant images when booking a hotel, or knowing your gate number before even reaching the airport when booking a flight, these updates help travelers make better decisions at every step of their journey.”

Agoda also expanded its language support for Flights-related chat queries to support Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), Thai, Indonesian, and Hong Kong-based users across five additional languages, connecting travelers to assistance in their preferred language.

Rounding out this quarter’s Product Update, Agoda’s multi-product booking engine now allows travelers to book hotels, flights, and activities in a single transaction, with all trip components consolidated in the ‘My Trips’ section of the app and website for easy reference. More information on this enhanced experience can be read here.

Travelers can explore Agoda’s full range of over 6 million holiday properties, more than 130,000 flight routes, and over 300,000 activities at agoda.com and in the Agoda app.
