“The old mindset of ‘build it and they will use it’ is no longer viable
in today’s market,” said Gary
Labovich, Booz Allen Hamilton executive vice president and the
leader of the firm’s Systems Delivery Group. “Our clients today demand
technology solutions based on a foundation of collaborative delivery
methods. This leads to successful implementations of mission systems.”
In a new
market assessment report, Booz Allen Hamilton (NYSE: BAH) outlines
how successful systems delivery requires a broad range of technology
capabilities, an intimate understanding of a client’s mission, and a
sensitivity and awareness to the management challenges of organizational
adaptation and adoption.
“Success today is delivering a solution that solves the client's
challenge and that users embrace,” said Gary
Cubbage, Booz Allen executive vice president and leader of the
firm’s Systems Delivery business in the Defense and Intelligence Group.
“For more than a century, Booz Allen has been a leader in developing
solutions that require a deep understanding of our client’s mission
combined with the technical horsepower to develop and deploy mission
critical systems.”
Based on the firm’s experience effectively combining the “art and
science” of Systems Delivery for such clients as the U.S. Army Training
and Doctrine Command, the Department of Veterans Affairs and the General
Services Administration, Booz Allen has identified three
key factors that differentiate Booz Allen’s offering in this growing
market:
- New Methods: Booz Allen employs modern
development methods such as Agile and DevOps to promote a way of
thinking and working that embraces change, regular feedback,
value-driven development, full-team collaboration, frequent delivery
and continuous improvement. By combining a cultural mindset with
automated practices and metrics, Booz Allen nurtures collaboration
between software development and system operations. This results in
more rapid delivery of secure, high-quality code, and the increased
stability of production systems. Additionally, Booz Allen has
established a number of strategic industry alliances to bring the
latest technologies, emerging solutions and thought leadership to our
clients.
- Client Intimacy: The firm’s approach to
Systems Delivery is based on bringing stakeholders together in a
manner that establishes the clearest understanding of the client’s
organizational needs, technical and mission requirements, user
experience needs, and the art-of-the possible regarding the solution.
Misinterpretation or omission of requirements are some of the most
frequent and expensive errors to correct in the system delivery
lifecycle. A partner with a deep understanding of client mission
closes that gap, and results in the delivery of a system which meets
the needs of its users.
- Consultative Approach: As the first
management consulting firm, Booz Allen has more than a century’s
experience in helping clients solve their largest and most challenging
problems. While “software development” can be a commoditized service,
successfully delivering a mission critical system which meets the
regulatory, technical, and functional business needs of an
organization requires a multi-disciplinary approach by a firm with
deep change management expertise, including business process
improvement, system preparedness, communications, and training.
These factors echo many of the findings of a recent
commissioned study conducted by Forrester Consulting on behalf of
Booz Allen Hamilton. In particular, the study found that “change
management proves challenging but critical to project success. Elements
of change management such as strong executive sponsorship, committed and
responsible stakeholders, and continuous communication serve as the
building blocks of successful project delivery.”
“Participants in the study focused on the importance of both technology
and end user readiness,” said Leslie
DiFonzo, Booz Allen Hamilton senior vice president and leader of the
firm’s Systems Delivery business in the Civil and Commercial Group.
“With our technical and change management expertise, Booz Allen is the
essential partner to provide solutions that meet our clients’
expectations.”
