CACI supports naval warfare systems

Defence IT company CACI has won a four-year, $35 million task order for the Naval Warfare Systems Programme Office (WSPO) to support its business functions, writes Executive Biz.

The goal of the work is to bring in new tools and streamline processes in the WSPO. The contract work will take place in three areas: program business strategic vision and planning, program management and execution support, and business and financial management support. CACI says it will also help the Navy WSPO migrate to enterprise resource planning in 2011.

In addition, CACI says its systems engineering and technical assistance and its Web-based contract management system, iNDEVOR, will give the Navy a standardised management platform.

Grace Industries, part of the The Haugland Group family of companies, has selected Computer Guidance Corporation's eCMS v.3.7.0 for its financial, project and heavy equipment management needs, writes Business Wire.

“We were looking for an all-encompassing solution to manage our unique business operations from heavy highway construction to property management. We needed a solution to integrate the finance and project sides of our operations while managing all of our assets, including equipment, property and human resources,” stated Jay Able, director of IT, Grace Industries.

Computer Guidance Corporation is the developer of financial and project management software solutions for architecture, engineering and construction companies.

Project Management Software industry provider Method123 says that it has just released an Acceptance Management Process template as part of its project management kit product offering, says Market Wire.

Method123's project management kit contains over fifty project management templates. The kit has sold more than 1 million units worldwide, which, the company says, means project managers around the globe are using these templates to more efficiently and effectively manage the projects they oversee.

An Acceptance Management Process is a set of processes, policies, and procedures used by an organisation during the project planning process to formally define the acceptance of deliverables on projects. By setting up agreed upon criteria up front, the delivery team knows what it takes to completely deliver a product, what the acceptance criteria is, and how to obtain customer signoff and approval. Likewise, the customer understands their role and responsibilities in the deliverable and testing acceptance process.
