NOAA NESDIS mission is to archive and disseminate the
nation's oceanic, climatic, and geophysical data and
information products. The National Virtual Data System (NVDS)
was directly aimed at providing operational and tactical
efficiencies in meeting the NOAA NESDIS mission while also
providing new strategic capabilities -- i.e. inter-relating
data, e-commerce capabilities, etc.
KeyLogic personnel supported the complete system development
lifecycle for NVDS spanning over five years. The project
followed a Standards Based Architecture (SBA) approach to IT
strategic planning, which involves:
·
Architectural framework and vision,
·
Baseline
architecture (AS-IS)
·
Target
architecture (TO-BE)
·
Concept of
Operations
·
Migration
Plan,
·
Implementation Plan
·
Training &
Operational support.
The program was managed using sound management and systems
engineering concepts, including performance based
management, Configuration Management (CM), and rapid
development methodologies.
Systems engineering services include:
·
Analyze and
provide systems/users requirements
·
Conduct
risk analysis and ID alternatives
·
Develop
system design
·
Analyze
software requirements
·
Develop
preliminary design
·
Develop
detailed design
·
Conduct
code development and write software
·
Software
testing
·
System
integration testing
·
Analyze
test results and develop mitigation strategy
·
Production
and deployment
·
Sustainment
KeyLogic, under subcontract to TMC Technologies, directly
supported all related functions, including:
·
Budget
formulation and tracking
·
Compliance
with all Federal IT planning directives
·
Strategic
planning
·
Oversight
·
Verification of work performed
The system has resulted in significant operational cost
savings to NOAA by leveraging modern IT and Geological
Information System (GIS) technologies within their web
portal access to their numerous data products.
