Vision provides analysis and engineering services in a consulting capacity, working closely with the government's own engineering staff members, to provide flexibility and quick availability of expertise without the expense and commitment of sustaining a long-term staff. The main challenge facing government agencies is that their information systems are becoming increasingly complex and interdependent. As a result, the effect of changes in one part of the enterprise can have unforeseen and unpredictable consequences elsewhere. A solution to this overlap is to consolidate redundant software and hardware systems, such as human resources, finance, or other back-office applications, into a comprehensive service-oriented architecture. Vision Technologies (Vision) Systems Engineering and Integration experts are adept at introducing technologies and processes to help government agencies operate more efficiently. Vision can successfully manage projects of varying size and scope, from a small-scale software application integration to a full enterprise systems engineering effort.

Our Systems Engineering and Integration services include:

• Full life cycle planning, engineering, and integration
• Mission and requirements analysis
• Operations analysis and constraints assessment
• Architecture design, review, implementation, and governance
• COTS/GOTS integration

Our Approach & Benefits

The Vision systems engineering approach focuses on analyzing and eliciting needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem, the system lifecycle. Through requirements analysis, we determine the need for changing existing technology or purchasing new technology. As part of this holistic effort, we evaluate and select state-of-the-art products including networks, servers, routers, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS), and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) software and hardware to meet stakeholder requirements.

By rigorous application of Developmental Test & Evaluation (DT&E), we are able to discover system deficiencies, support system development, and evaluate system performance. This, in turn, ensures that all applications and infrastructure are tested for functionality and compatibility with your agency’s environment. These test results allow our engineers select appropriate COTS and GOTS products and customize applications to your overall program requirements. After implementation, our ongoing Operation & Maintenance (O&M) efforts ensure that the total solution continues operating efficiently and trouble-free with:

• Fewer systems to maintain
• Reduced costs of operations
• Compliance with Federal mandates
• More efficient operations.
