In our opinion, the Contractor has done really well in terms of schedule. The Systems Security Manager, Jack Jones, is pleasant and easy to work with. He adapts to our schedule changes amazingly and never complains. He also went above and beyond and assembled our smart board and projector without charging the Government and he continued to meet all the contract objectives in the interim. Great job!

The Contractor successfully executed the system recovery, exceeding requirements. Deployments of new releases were on schedule for this period. Per the Continuity of Operations Plan (COOP), the contractor had a 7 day timeframe for full system restoration after sustaining the attack. However, the Contractor was able to recover and bring the system online within 4 days, resulting in cost and time benefits for not having to manually track data during the downtime. This early recovery eliminated a work stoppage on engine configuration management at the customer sites. The Contractor experienced a turnover of the senior developer during the development phase of the first upgrade. However, due to replacement with a highly skilled senior developer who was able to program more quickly and efficiently, the Contractor was able to bring the final release deployment back on track with no impact to the schedule.
