MR Consulting Technology Services
Our breadth of IT experience includes the design, implementation and improvement of the business processes that support and enable Federal agencies to design, develop and field operational capabilities that better serve the needs of their customers. There is an old saying that it is not what you do but how you do it that is most important. We can help you do what you do better by improving how you do it.
Agile Transformation
We help Federal agencies select, tailor, implement and operate the processes, procedures and toolsets required to enable small scale to highly scaled agile development.
Business Enterprise Architecture
We help Federal agencies encapsulate the essence of their business in actionable elements and entities. We develop capability maps, value streams, process models, and data structures to document a technology agnostic representation of how the business functions. We help to analyze these models to identify gaps and bottlenecks and develop recommendations for improving business operations through process and technology enhancements.
Cloud Architecture and Migration Planning
We help Federal agencies develop a business case for cloud migration, categorize workloads and desired outcomes, establish a cloud operating model, estimate timelines and budgets. With thorough planning we prioritize which systems and applications move first, plan for adequate testing, identify risks, and emphasize the importance of security throughout the process.
Emerging Technology Assessments
We help Federal agencies evaluate emerging technologies and conduct comprehensive alternatives analysis to determine if an emerging technology is the right fit at the current time and if so which vendors’ products most closely align with the agency’s requirements and constraints.
IT Modernization and Roadmap Development
We help Federal agencies modernize legacy information technology systems. From strategy development, to planning and implementation and governance we help agencies rethink the role that technology plays in meeting their mission. We can assist agencies using traditional waterfall development methodologies or more modern agile methodologies and we can help agencies make the leap from legacy waterfall to agile methodologies.
Quality Assurance
We help Federal agencies develop and implement robust quality assurance programs to include centralized reporting processes around unit, integration, user acceptance and performance testing. We help agencies improve their test automation efforts, streamline and automate reporting of test results, defect management and implement comprehensive root cause analysis to continuously improve quality assurance practices.
Requirements Analysis and Definition
We help Federal agencies analyze, define, document, and manage requirements throughout the lifecycle of IT systems and application development. We have helped customers to pioneer innovative ways to provide complete requirements traceability while adhering to agile development methodologies and to maintain compliance to agency governance requirements around requirements management. We can help agencies implement a comprehensive requirements management process that starts at the Portfolio level while maintaining traceability and governance down through the individual team implementation of functionality.
Systems Engineering Lifecycle Support
We help Federal agencies integrate and manage the solution engineering, planning, requirements definition, design, development, integration and testing, implementation, operation and maintenance, and disposition activities for IT investments.
