Data Quality

Ensuring Your Data Supports the Mission We recognize that data needs to be timely and relevant to support the on-going needs of any analytical tool. Our principals have been in the forefront of ensuring data is accurate and timely from a development and operational context. Working with Mitre, we developed the Enterprise Data Quality Measurement Service (EDQMS) a tool-agnostic data quality service that easily allows users to define and monitor their data against specific mission business

• rules. From an operational perspective we have

integrated data quality within

• ur

Sustainment Management Console that automates the day to day monitoring of system operations.

Defining and Procuring Support for the Mission Our corporate principals have

• ver

thirty years experience in supporting the proposal process from both the client and supplier perspectives. We identified and executed expedited acquisition paths for the US Dept. of Interior and US Dept. of Commerce on key program

• initiatives. We have analyzed, managed, and developed

hundreds of supplier proposal responses that have resulted in millions of dollars of contracts. Coupled with

• ur solution expertise we provide value-driven solutions

to client and supplier proposal needs.
