Organizations continue to be challenged with the consistent application of defined project management processes, resource planning, forecasting, and other business demands. d3i provides Program Operations support services that include Administrative support services and the establishment of a PMO as a center of excellence that implements best practices tailored to the unique requirements of the agency. d3i develops a PMO roadmap that details external processes, service design, service transition, service operation and continual service improvement. We support the budgeting, monitoring and control of costs, development and maintenance of Integrated Master Schedules, and the monitoring of performance metrics for continuous improvement.

d3i’s Human Capital practice provides management strategy, organizational behavior, leadership, strategy formulation, organization design, team development, and employee motivation consulting. We develop client specific techniques on how to motivate people, design organizations, improve problem-solving and decision-making capabilities, and introduce and manage change processes. d3i leverages research, analytics and best practices to help design and execute critical programs from business driven HR to innovative talent, leadership and change programs.

d3i’s Systems Engineers, with a strong multi-disciplinary engineering background support the system life- cycle of activities from Mission Analysis and CONOPs to Verification and Validation. The scope and complexity of missions are rising as quickly as pressures to reduce the development, deployment and recurrent costs of supporting systems. Every dollar spent must show a significant return on investment. d3i offers multiple levels of mission analysis and associated concepts of operations (CONOPS) to help strengthen the value of systems used to support missions. Our insights can bridge the gap between the users’ operational needs and the technical specifications to deliver the best results for the User.

d3i helps organizations plan, architect and adapt to complex business requirements while maintaining a stable and controllable operating environment.

d3i We perform AoA studies and in developing a solution, we consider the collection of enterprise systems along with the people, processes and technology that effect operations. We define functional requirements, document processes and interrelationships and design and validate solutions that are efficient and cost-effective.

In our independent verification and validation (IV&V) practice, we verify that processes have been followed and validate whether the end result meets the stated requirements. Our external viewpoint provides an objective assessment in each phase of the development lifecycle to discover and address potential issues before they impact the project and become costly to correct. d3i provides IV&V during preproduction as well as continuous monitoring during later operations and maintenance stages.

d3i participates in JAD and DCO sessions to rapidly and accurately capture Requirements, Use Cases, and Stories. We implement DevOps methodology to improve the quality of software by ensuring that the Development Team has a better understanding of User’s O&M requirements. Our Agile approach enables early delivery of prioritized capabilities – a big help in the uncertain budget environments of today. Deficiencies can be detected and corrected early. In budget scarce environments, we employ open source technologies to migrate applications and databases to the cloud.

Automated code and data migration, Test Driven Development, and Continuous Release Management techniques further expedite deployment while reducing costs. We can serve as independent testers to support Quality Assurance activities. Automated testing includes the Trusted Tester approach that we can offer for Section 508 compliance.

d3i supports the analytical and software development of complex mathematical models for geophysical phenomenon and systems. We support the deployment of these models on supercomputers for simulation and visualization of scientific phenomenon.

Using simulation early in the design process, we identify and correct design errors, mimic the operation of a real system and create virtual environments for training. Through modeling, we represent systems and processes and analyze, test and modify them. Our analysts use the data generated from these activities to provide fresh insights that lead to objective, cost-effective decisions.

d3i assists you in gaining insights from your data. We let you make faster and smarter decisions as you tackle your most complex business issues. We can help you turn insights into action, and action into tangible results. That’s high performance, delivered.
