The Link to
Positive IT Results and Objective Evaluation
Using a standardized
approach to integrating business systems, with a goal of
“plug and play” to meet universal needs, is a lofty
objective. But reality dictates a more pragmatic
approach to integration. The reality in today's
environment is that commercial products often need to be
fine tuned using proven integration skills.
mLINQS consultants, members of the servLINQ services
team, have honed their communications skills to interact
with both business processes and IT resources. They
target the precise business need, translate that need
into a cost-effective IT solution, and get it right the
first time.
These solutions are designed to be most effective when
integrated with other business systems, and servLINQ
professionals work extensively with federal customers
and corporate partners to develop interfaces for a host
of diverse applications. The business area applications
mLINQS offers to federal agencies include:
The
company’s servLINQ team also provides Independent
Verification and Validation (IV&V) services. Team
members employ a methodology based on a proven iterative
process that determines if the products produced at each
phase of development fulfill the requirements placed on
them by previous phases.
This
process ensures the system is internally complete,
consistent, and sufficiently correct to adequately
support the next iteration. At the end of the project,
servLINQ consultants examine and exercise the entire
system and its components (software, hardware, business
processes) to determine if the stakeholder requirements
are met.
All
services are performed in an environment free of
influence from the development effort to ensure
objective evaluation leads to operational correctness.

-
Stakeholder identification
