Booz Allen builds software factories and applies the broader practices of modern software development, allowing our clients to architect and maintain systems that empower mission-critical inter-program, intra-agency collaboration. Our tried-and-true software factory framework facilitates the standup and operation of mission-tailored application assembly lines that introduce and share standardized platform efficiencies to save development teams from having to solve the same problems repeatedly. By standardizing, accelerating, automating, and modularizing key elements of enterprise-scale software development and delivery, software factories help us ensure that our clients’ critical, high-load mission systems can always deliver, no matter the circumstances.
As Homeland Security agencies work to evolve their technology systems, certain needs and associated challenges have shown to be common across agencies. They include:
- High availability systems—Agencies must continue to embrace and embed the tools, architectures, and practices that enable critical mission platforms and applications to remain up and running 24/7/365
- Data enablement—Governed, user-friendly, enterprise-wide access to and use of high-quality data to inform decisions and improve mission outcomes must continue to increase
- Mission-critical software delivery—The tools, talents, and best practices of modern software delivery must continue to become the norm for mission-critical application delivery, operations, and maintenance
- Agile transformation—Agencies must continue to embrace agile transformation practices to empower all of the above
We have helped plan, build, and run enterprise-scaled software delivery programs at a variety of agencies with a diverse array of missions.
