Systems Engineering and Integration Practice

CEM's Systems Engineering and Integration Practice provides practical, appropriate solutions for agencies grappling with sweeping organizational change and complex transitions from a legacy to a modernized environment.

We accomplish this by, for example:

  • Assisting government agencies in defining, managing, and improving their enterprise information technology (IT) life cycle
  • Supporting enterprise-level systems engineering, including requirements definition and allocation, release management, interface control, risk management, and systems integration
  • Supporting program- or solution-level development, including requirements definition, design oversight and review, and integration

The Systems Engineering and Integration Practice concentrates on three areas crucial to agencies implementing large-scale modernization:

  • E-Government
  • Common Enterprise Applications
  • IT Infrastructure

In the E-Government area, we assist agencies in addressing the public's expectation of service comparable to what they receive from effective organizations in the private sector. We focus on technologies—such as portals, Web servers, application servers, and XML and XML-based business transaction protocols—that enable our customer agencies to implement information sharing and Internet-based business transactions that serve the public, inter-agency and private sector partners, and their own employees.

In the Common Enterprise Applications area, we facilitate the government-mandated paradigm shift from a customized, proprietary model to a more efficient commercial, open-market model. We support our customers in planning for, selecting, and deploying commercial off-the-shelf products in business areas common to many government agencies, such as financial management, human resources, and procurement.

In the IT Infrastructure area, we assist our customers in developing a modernized IT system that both promotes agile information sharing—essential to effective operations—and is resistant to increased security vulnerabilities. We support projects in information security, enterprise application integration, networking, data management, systems and application management, directory services, workflow, and performance engineering.

Systems engineering and integration informs a development process, from concept to production to operation, and involves all aspects of large-scale systems: technical, economic, political, social, and environmental. Therefore, in all areas of our Practice, we support our customers in a range of activities, including program management, contractor oversight and review, risk management, system and data modeling, requirements definition, design review, testing, deployment, and operations.
