Key Terms

indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity, enterprise resource planning, amazon web services (aws), artificial intelligence

4 terms

indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity financial

"The goal of the US$64-million indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity contract..."

A contract type where a buyer agrees to purchase an unspecified number of goods or services over a set period, with the seller receiving individual orders as needs arise. Think of it like a standing grocery order: the store promises to buy whatever supplies it needs up to an agreed limit, but exact timing and quantities are decided later. For investors, such contracts can signal a steady potential revenue stream and backlog visibility, while leaving some uncertainty about timing and total value.

enterprise resource planning technical

"integrated AI and enterprise resource planning capabilities that will allow the agency..."

Enterprise resource planning (ERP) is a comprehensive software system that helps organizations manage and coordinate their core activities—such as finance, supply chain, human resources, and manufacturing—within a single platform. It streamlines operations by providing real-time information, enabling better decision-making. For investors, ERP systems indicate how efficiently a company runs and can signal its ability to adapt and grow in a competitive market.

amazon web services (aws) technical

"optimizing Compass within the agency's Amazon Web Services (AWS) environment."

Amazon Web Services (AWS) is an on-demand online platform that rents computing power, data storage and software tools over the internet—think of it as renting electricity and factory space for digital work instead of building your own. Investors watch AWS because it generates steady, recurring revenue and often higher profit margins than product sales, so its growth, pricing power and customer mix significantly affect a company’s overall earnings and long-term value.

artificial intelligence technical

"goal ... is to harness artificial intelligence and other Momentum capabilities..."

Artificial intelligence is the ability of computers and machines to perform tasks that typically require human thinking, such as understanding language, recognizing patterns, or making decisions. For investors, it matters because AI can enhance efficiency, uncover new insights, and enable smarter strategies, potentially impacting the value and performance of companies that develop or utilize this technology.
