United States Department of Defense

The Defense Integrated Military Human Resource System (DIMHRS) program represents the largest human resources system reengineering project the world has ever seen.  This unprecedented program leveraged advanced technology mentoring and facilitation skills from Fourth Medium Consulting at a critical juncture for the program.  At a point where progress had stalled related to gaining an understanding of acquisition feasibility and implications, our senior consultants delivered strategic program advice in the areas of Software Architecture, Scenario-based practices for COTS Evaluation & Procurement and iterative/incremental development.

Fourth Medium Consulting delivered on the following service objectives: 

• provided both services-side and prime contractor Program Manager advice & guidance on industry-best practices at a time of methodology transformation within the DOD;  
• facilitated the socialization of iterative and incremental lifecycle models for application to acquisition under Clinger-Cohen mandates 
• innovated evolutionary acquisition strategy related to decision-centric gap analysis within a MBASE/RUP process framework
• coached the DIMHRS Program and NRISO Enterprise on the use of Ericsson/Jacobson Business Use Case based COTS gap analysis for pre-ORD decision reasoning
• led the gap analysis of the Unified Process framework related to CMMI and DOD 5000
