Federal Civilian

QSM helps empower civilian agency leaders through more intelligent decision making.

Software Project Failure Is a Federal Case

Politically driven deadlines. Budget uncertainty. GAO audits and IG inspections. Emerging technologies. Unrealistic bids from vendors who can’t perform.

Are you being asked to do too much with the limited resources you have? Are your contractors really performing? How do you know?

We understand the pressures you face as a government executive, and we have proven solutions that work. Our quantitative, metrics-based approach can help you set realistic expectations, win negotiations with vendors, get troubled projects back on track and oversee your project portfolio from a position of strength and knowledge.

They hire QSM and get the quantitative evidence they need to terminate a bad contract, saving $30M. The client has now institutionalized the use of quantitative methods for acquisition and management of software, achieving over $25M in additional savings thus far.

We offer a variety of industrial-strength solutions to meet all needs and budget requirements, including complete solutions, "lite" versions, and incremental build-outs.

We typically recommend a staged implementation, as it enables a client to realize significant value while getting to know our process. We also suggest working with us on a single project, to start. You’ll get a good feel for QSM consulting, its benefits, and its suitability for your organization.

Please contact our solution design consultants at 800 424-6755 to discuss your individual needs and constraints.
