• Economic analysis, business case development, and OMB 300 preparation
• Process reengineering and change management
• Portfolio management and enterprise architecture guidance

Disciplined Approach to Program Life-Cycle Services

Experience has taught us the value of understanding the regulations and legislative requirements for program control. We use this knowledge to work in partnership with oversight authorities to tailor the acquisition process as appropriate for each program, avoiding unnecessary program cost and schedule delays. We effectively use our knowledge and experience to keep staffing requirements modest throughout the program while still meeting all requirements. Lastly, we are keenly aware of the Organizational Conflict of interest (OCI) issues inherent in our work and strive to avoid even the appearance of OCI.

Spotlight on Defense Logistics Agency’s Business Systems Modernization

Since 1998, Vector Research Center has partnered with the Defense Logistics Agency’s Business Systems Modernization (BSM) program office to provide a full range of program management support services, including analysis and support of all acquisition milestone and program requirements. Examples include portfolio management, program execution, Clinger-Cohen Act compliance, acquisition strategy development and maintenance, risk analysis and systems operations support planning. Our efforts have resulted in documentation that now serves as a Department-level best practice example for repeatable IT acquisition management. Vector Research Center is currently engaged with the BSM office to establish a formal structure by which both current and emerging investments can be scored.
