What does it take to modernize technology inside the Department of Defense? 

In this episode of FORUM’s Keeping IT Brief, we sit down with Richard Kellahan, Project Manager at TIAG, to talk about DoD contracts, electronic security systems, and federal IT project management

Richard has supported Department of Defense programs since 2006 and currently leads projects in Charleston, SC — identifying opportunities in the Electronic Security Systems (ESS) federal government space. With experience in management, procurement, financial reporting, customer relations, training, and an active Secret Clearance, he brings a 360-degree view of government program delivery. 

Recently PMP-certified through the Project Management Institute, Richard shares how formal project management frameworks strengthen execution in complex government environments — and why discipline, communication, and adaptability are critical in DoD modernization efforts

We also explore: 

• The biggest challenges of implementing new technology in secure DoD environments
 • How ISO 9001:2015 and CMMI® Level 3 standards support federal IT excellence
 • Building high-performing teams in government contracting
 • Delivering innovation beyond the scope of work
 • Emerging opportunities in federal electronic security and defense technology 

If you’re interested in government IT, federal contracting, DoD modernization, PMP leadership, or electronic security systems, this episode delivers practical insight from the field.
