OUR EXPERIENCE INCLUDES:
GPS III
Global Business Analysis (GBA), in cooperation with the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics (AIAA), was commissioned to conduct an Independent study of the appropriate incentives that would facilitate the early delivery of Global Positioning System III (GPS III) satellites for OSD/NII. (Office of the Secretary of Defense, Networks and Information Integration.)
GBA is known for its objective, credible and in-depth knowledge, assessment expertise and its highly experienced aerospace and defense team. These attributes blend to create a team uniquely capable of conducting a wide range of complex reviews of critical US national programs.
In December 2006, GBA conducted an independent study of the Department of Defense (DoD) to provide incentives to prime contractors, facilitating the early delivery of GPS III satellites. The team reviewed existing acceleration plans for necessity and sufficiency, identifying alternatives and "best practices" to ensure early delivery of the GPS III capability. The study was specifically focused on the financial, contractual, and operational management methods to motivate and promote an accelerated delivery of GPS III satellites to the US Government.
The result was a comprehensive review of industry’s objectives and recommendations for contract incentive program applicable to the GPS III program and future acquisitions. The analysis and conclusions drawn by GBA were on target and crucial to shape the request for proposals (RFP) process for the GPS III program. On target, timely and forward looking assessments represent GBA’s core skill sets for defense and private sector acquisition needs... (Is there a quote from Grimes office??

GBA RISK ANALSIS AND MITIGATION
GBA is a specialized provider of contingency planning, business continuity and disaster recovery solutions for industrial, financial and government enterprises where the use of sophisticated information, communications and production technologies are critical parts of day-to-day operations.
Business and governments around the world are struggling to deal with the human impact of natural disasters and terrorist attacks that have significantly disrupted many business operations as well as placing an enormous strain on government disaster recovery resources. Both business and government are striving to find ways to return to normal operations.
GBA is specially qualified to assist these efforts. We have experienced Business Continuity Planning (BCP) and Continuity of Operations Planning (COOP) for government agencies. BCP/COOP practitioners who will help in a myriad of ways to assist government and business leaders and their organizations to plan for, mitigate and manage disaster recovery from a BCP/COOP perspective.
Why conduct a BCP/COOP initiative for your enterprise? Evidence overwhelmingly demonstrates that, increasingly, markets, non-profit organizations, governments and the business environment have become more volatile and sensitive to natural, accidental, technological and man-made incidents that will negatively affect all types of operations. All enterprises should adopt the GBA business continuity and crisis management best practices as an on-going due diligence effort to ensure organizational survivability, success of operations and profitability of commercial concerns.
The GBA approach to BCP/COOP is intended to help our business and government clients who have not yet done so, to undertake a business continuity planning exercise that specifically meets the needs of the enterprise. For example, the processes GBA uses for BCP/COOP planning include the development of strategies and plans to cope with the deliberate or accidental loss of information systems (IT) and communications capabilities within the enterprise. Further we show how to plan for and deal with the loss of operational capability due to an event, accidental or deliberate, that denies enterprise staff access to and use of their working environment for an extended period.
GBA does not claim to have “all the answers” to the challenges of BCP/COOP planning and execution. Rather, we explain to our clients the concepts behind BCP/COOP, what steps need to be taken to ensure BCP/COOP effort is relevant to the specific requirements of the enterprise being considered as well as defining the recovery strategies available to decision makers. The emphasis throughout is on making the planning and implementation of any BCP/COOP initiative as compact and simple as is required to meet the enterprise’s objectives, but not less compact and simple than that.
Following the proven GBA BCP/COOP process all of our client enterprises, e.g., financial services companies, manufacturers, oil and gas companies and governments at all levels, will possess the ability to protect the health and safety of personnel while replicating and/or recovering critical data in a trusted manner. Further, all elements of the enterprise placed in high priority will be able to gain rapid access to internet-facing processes, e.g., e-mail, web access, following a failure initiated by either man-made or natural causes.
