Systems Integration: Improving Federal Connectivity and Emergency Response

We specialize in building and connecting Federal information systems to help our clients achieve a tightly-knit technology environment where enterprise data is electronically available, securely accessible, and easy
to share.

By reducing the hassles that arise from poorly integrated computer applications and cumbersome information sharing, we allow Federal employees to access and disseminate critical information about disease, public health, and relevant safety measures through secure Web portals and wireless technology. What results is the ability to respond quickly and decisively to emerging infectious diseases (EIDs) and other threats to public health.

IT Solutions Tailored
to Countermeasure Development
Our solutions in database design, integration, and support meet the full spectrum of National Security requirements for scalability, robustness, and instant information access
and availability.

We help:
- Design IT infrastructures that enable research parties to input and retrieve data from distributed laboratory and clinical settings around the world
- Develop databases that hold data about re-emergence, identification, and notification of antibiotic resistant strains or the rapid spreading of bioterrorism threats
- Develop scalable database schemas and structures to accommodate the rapidly growing volume and complexity of pathogenic data
- Integrate disparate repositories of pathogenic information and available images, resulting in the ability of Federal security agencies to have a comprehensive view of the status of health threats and corresponding vaccines
- Develop database tools for rapid viewing and entry of critical data and images

Interoperability Services and Compliance
with Federal Regulations
We design clinical databases and clinical site monitoring systems using existing or emerging healthcare industry standards to ensure data interoperability during each stage of drug discovery and development.

In addition, our experience in building successful enterprise systems for Federal clients qualifies us to efficiently complete government contracts in accordance with the principles and regulations prescribed by the Department of Defense Architecture Framework and
Chief Information Officers Council.

Business Process Reengineering in the Federal Sector
We use our business process reengineering tools and techniques to understand and evaluate Federal enterprise operations and address inefficiencies. This involves reengineering Federal workflows to accelerate the discovery and development of biotherapeutics that
aid public defense, and to streamline surveillance programs so that responses to disease are swift, coordinated, and decisive.

Wireless Solutions
We design and implement information appliances or applications (e.g., desktops, laptops, PDAs, Pocket PCs, BlackBerry™ devices, and smartphones) to rapidly disseminate reliable, up-to-date information. This increases the ability of disease surveillance and bioterrorist units to report to and communicate with each other and the public.

Information Assurance for Federal Agencies
In the National Security sector, it is critical for information to be accurate, available, and accessible. We offer complete information assurance services to maintain the quality, integrity, authenticity, and availability of information, while also protecting it from unauthorized usage or retrieval. This involves creating standard operating procedures (SOPs) for data annotation and curation, as well as developing policies and procedures
for responding to adverse events and disasters.
