SAIC opens 'Innovation Factory'

Science Applications International Corp. said today it is opening a virtual lab environment -- dubbed an "Innovation Factory" -- to help it "move at a pace similar to startups."

"SAIC Innovation Factory is managed by SAIC and uses technologies developed and refined by SAIC as well as Red Hat, the leading provider of open-source solutions," the company said. "The new Innovation Factory will enable customers to make rapid progress toward IT and Application transformation projects by providing DevSecOps teams who are expert at using Agile/DevOps practices combined with cloud-native architectures built on Red Hat OpenShift, the industry's most comprehensive enterprise Kubernetes platform."

The initial lab is being launched out of SAIC's Reston, VA, headquarters, according to SAIC.
