Agency Name: Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA)

Since 2001 SCI has assumed and performed in many areas of responsibility.

SCI selects Defense Information System Agency (DISA) as the past performance for a DoD contract that involves Change Management, Application Development and Data Management. SCI conducted Business Process Reengineering (BPR) activities for this multi-year, multi-million dollar Information Technology initiative, and have supported its successful technology evolution for almost a decade. SCI is the lead of a group that provides technical and professional expertise to support DISA in Change Management, Application Development and Data Management. Prior to SCI, DISA's government personnel used a legacy system which only performed 18 percent of its needed functionality. SCI successfully interviewed all of the DISN CONUS and OCONUS theaters and several other GE34 clients including NS53 to produce a knowledge base. Weekly meetings are held to discover communication gaps between contractors and government representatives. DISA found an immediate cost savings of millions by following SCI's initial recomm endations. The collection of artifacts and the suggested business process reengineering experience lead to the creation of a new application called Network Design Support System (NDSS) with hundreds of reports and validations that government personnel uses daily to analyze the CONUS and OCONUS access line, backbone areas and routing tables. The ability to interview and offer recommended solutions helped to achieve client's buy-in on the implementation of this system with the functional capability to process business rules that would reduce manual processes to a 17-to-1 ratio. It is necessary for SCI personnel to meet daily with other contractors, government representatives, and other users in order to give suggestions or to give an explanation of business rules. Daily upgrades are made to the software for performance and or enhancements that the users request. The application is also used to validate all of the CONUS and OCONUS data received. SCI supplies DISA with Call data, traffic data and rout ing analyses on a customer as well as MFS level. Oracle Forms and Report Builder is used to create all forms and most of the reports. There are over 170 forms, over 290 reports and over 75 complex PL/SQL packages used to support NDSS and to meet DISA's ever requirement for data around the world.
