Government
and the Public's Safety
The
Optimus Consulting Group is a major services and solutions
provider dedicated to enhancing the information management
and sharing of public safety, federal and state agencies.
Successful inter-agency connectivity is a requirement
for today's military and public safety agencies, since
their "business" operates horizontally within
and between vertical agencies. As an example, during
a recent examination of government anti-terrorism operations,
the National Performance Review noted that a lack of
coordination exists among US Armed Forces, federal,
state, and local governments. There is no interlinking
communications architecture, no bridge that permits
sustainable joint operational response between and among
these groups and their resources.
The
solution therefore is to provide a secure information
infrastructure that is responsive to a terrorist threat
against life and property for both military and civilian
risk. The Optimus Consulting Group offering is a complete
end-to-end eGovernment strategy for developing and implementing
an underlying support infrastructure to: accommodate
new technology and/or services; streamlining command
and control communications; delivering knowledge management
solutions; and improving inter-agency communications,
operations and decision support systems.

From an architectural perspective, federal and state
IT departments are looking to optimize their configurations
of computing platforms, networks and storage devices,
and consolidate them into more cost-efficient, operationally
effective and manageable environments. This is more
than a technology challenge - it is a business management
opportunity to harness new e-business systems to deliver
higher value to constituents at a lower cost to the
taxpayer.
In
taking a holistic approach to an assignment, Optimus
Consulting Group is one of the few companies with the
know-how to fulfill both the business and technology
needs of federal and state agencies in the context of
new business processes and technological environments.
As a systems integrator, we have the expertise and experience
that allow us to review the overall business and systems
environment of any agency. No detail is left out of
an initial assessment.
Optimus Consulting Group technology experts will, among
other things:
- Analyze
Current IT Needs-Before
making decisions on new investments, an understanding
of the organization's current IT needs is imperative.
To achieve this crucial first step, the Education
Department of Riverside County used the Optimus Consulting
Group ARC methodology's ISA (Information Strategy
Assessment) to demonstrate critical information gaps
and determine how effectively their existing systems
would meet their future business needs and directions
- Plan
Strategic IT Spending-For Homeland Security, a
map of the business enabled them to focus on key areas
for strategic IT investments. By mapping current IT
spending onto the Optimus Consulting Group ARC™,
project sponsors gained new understanding of information
gaps within their systems. As a result, this new insight
guides the spending alignment with the strategic intent
