- Integrated management of all network assets
DACOM developed
a solution that enables Defense staff to view and interact with the
information technology assets physically attached to networks - i.e.
computers, servers, routers, peripherals, gateways, mainframes, etc.
- through a standard web-browsers from any approved location including
remote sites. This will also enable the customer to gain centralized
access to disparate information sources. The ITAV WorkNet will eventually
integrate processes that include procurement, inventory management,
network management, help desk services, and disposal actions. All
information available to this Worknet is managed through a smart KnowledgeCore™
that documents the life cycle of each IT asset.

NORAD/USSAPACECOM
North American Aerospace Defense Command (NORAD)/United States Space Command (USSPACECOM) Warfighting Support System (N/UWSS)
- Achieved functional integration that produced an ROI of
$28.85 million annually and $346.3 million over the N/UWSS 12
year span
- Developed business case for $100 million in annual program
funding
- Helped N/UWSS achieve BM/C4I capabilities for current/future
missions
DACOM provided
business process reengineering support for the N/UWSS Future Planning
Team in its initiative to identify and correct deficiencies of current
Battle Management Command, Control, Communications, Computers and
Intelligence (BM/C4I) mission operations. DACOM developed and facilitated
the process to identify current functions, information systems, and
data management improvements to enable functional integration, interoperability,
modularity, expanded flexibility, and demonstrate a significant Return
on Investment (ROI) of $28.85 million annually/$346.3 million over
the N/UWSS 12 year span.
DACOM developed the N/UWSS Functional Economic Analysis (business
case) for implementing process improvements, legacy system migrations,
data management development, information system migration and evolution
strategy to a common data and information infrastructure for Cheyenne
Mountain Complex (CMC). The DACOM-developed business case was the
key component for the $100 million in annual funding for N/UWSS.
DACOM developed functional process alternatives for comparison with
the current Cheyenne Mountain Complex (CMC) baseline, including a
financial profile, assessment on performance measures and mission
effectiveness for each alternative, and the current baseline using
risk adjusted discounted cash flow (RADCF) analysis.

US
Customs Service (Treasury Department)
Office of Information and Technology
- Earlier corrective action
- Improved project planning
- Better delivery success
DACOM is
helping to establish and institutionalize an organization-wide project
tracking process for US Customs. The goal for this is to (1) help
a large IT organization get a better handle on departmental activities,
and (2) to begin moving them toward Level 2 of the SEI's Capability
Maturity Model. To achieve these goals, DACOM has e-Engineered process
and technology changes that improve the visibility of projects within
the organization - allowing management to take corrective action early
in the project. In addition to this new tracking process, DACOM has
improved project plans and enabled US Customs Service teams to build
experience. This is paying off in better delivery success, based both
on the on-time delivery of key products and the customer assessment
of the value of the product after implementation.

National
Imagery and Mapping Agency (NIMA)
- Received the prestigious Federal Technology Leadership Award
DACOM has
been providing critical enterprise data structures management for
NIMA (and the former DMA) for over 4 years. We have instituted the
processes involved in identifying, modeling, integrating and disseminating
the business rules and data that make this agency so important in
the DoD and intelligence communities. DACOM facilitated over 25 working
groups to build the US Imagery and Geospatial Information Systems
Conceptual Data Model (USIGS CDM). The project received the prestigious
Federal Technology Leadership Award in 1996 and this enterprise data
model currently describes over 1,200 data entities and 1,500 attributes.
The model is published on a CD-ROM along with many other USIGS Architecture
products and standards.
In addition, DACOM has worked closely with many of the large system
developers at NIMA to ensure that their implementations meet the future
needs of the imagery and geospatial producing and consuming communities.
