Client:
NASA, Center for Technology Commercialization
The National Aeronautics and Space Administration
is one of the USA's largest government agencies.
Industry:
U.S. Government
Their Needs:
NASA was in the process of collecting survey information
from over 4000 law enforcement agencies nationwide,
in an effort to transfer government technology, from
the Department of Justice, to the commercial market.
This effort required extreme attention to detail and
sophisticated statistical reporting. NASA-CTC was processing
data through a large number of disparate in-house databases
and spreadsheets.
However, the complexity of their data collection methods
had outgrown their software. They needed a fully-functional,
integrated database solution.
Infinity Solutions' Customized Solution:
Our development team conducted "rapid development" workshops
with NASA-CTC managers to develop a comprehensive requirements
specification. We then designed a cost-effective solution
that was far less expensive than NASA had expected.
The final system, which was implemented ahead of schedule
and right on budget, solved NASA-CTS's needs seamlessly.
Developed in MS-Access, the application completely
computerizes the complex data collection and reporting
processes, and allows operators to access agency information
in real-time.
The solution was specifically designed to easily allow
for future modifications and growth as the client's
processes expand and evolve.
Business Results:
Data collection and reporting which used to take days
can now be accomplished in a matter of hours.
Before the new system was developed, this kind of
instantaneous data-tracking was just a dream for NASA-CTC.
Now, it's a reality that saves them time and money
every day.
