Systems Engineering and Integration

The rules have changed in today’s net-centric environment. Large-scale systems extend beyond traditional program, command, or even agency boundaries. The requirements, interfaces, and technologies have become ever more complex in a system of systems environment. Yet, the integration of contributing components, alignment of multiple performers, and synchronization of activities, budget, and schedules are necessities for designing, developing, and fielding systems that ultimately achieve mission outcomes.
Time and time again, our experience reinforces this fact: Engineering a system or integrating a solution is a business problem, not merely a technology problem. We serve as the ultimate integration agent, providing an objective solution set that is free from organizational conflicts of interest, yet spanning the disciplines of technical and engineering, acquisition, program management, and leadership. Integrating these four disciplines is crucial to getting systems built within the constraints of time, funding, changing priorities, and stated performance.
When clients partner with ADGNetcom, we have one mission in mind: helping you manage risk while delivering the capability and control you need. Take advantage of our skilled staff, robust tools, disciplined processes, and innovative methodologies, to define, inform, and ultimately manage the program’s performance, cost, schedule, and risk baselines to stakeholder satisfaction.
Many clients face workforce shortfalls with huge short- and long-term competency implications. Some clients grapple with hardware vendors whose solution set is clouded by vested product line interests. Other clients are impeded by support contractors that can provide some functional expertise or domain understanding but lack the breadth of fully integrated capabilities. ADGNetcom can help identify the gaps, but more importantly, we can fill them.
ADGNetcom's systems engineering and Integration professionals offer a powerful combination of domain knowledge, functional skills, and objectivity. We have decades of practical engineering experience in large-scale systems development for federal clients.
ADGNetcom offers Systems Engineering and Integration expertise in the following areas:
- Design Through Testing Services.With trained engineers and systems experts on staff, and a robust supporting infrastructure (e.g., in-house organizational standard processes, program management environment, models, simulations, prototyping, and laboratories), ADGNetcom can advise, train, supplement, or serve as the integrator.
- Integrated Acquisition Management.We define, generate, and maintain the programmatic and technical plans, analyses, reports, and baseline documentation needed to support concept development, demonstrate technological feasibility, and initiate systems development activities in accordance with milestone information requirements, decision authority criteria, and contracting options and procedures.
- Program and Technical Integration.We employ our methodology to develop and integrate the program’s baselines (e.g., performance, cost, schedule, and risk baselines and their component artifacts), and to perform structured trade-offs resulting from exogenous or endogenous changes to one or more of the baselines.
- Program Leadership Services.We leverage objective counsel, best-of-class practices, organizational modeling, and scenario simulations to test strategies and help leadership in defining decision rights and authorities, providing knowledge capture and dissemination, directing personnel deployment, and coordinating process management.
