Software Engineering
Government agencies maintain a sophisticated array of software applications to meet diverse administrative, management and mission needs. SRA’s software engineering team designs, develops, integrates and implements software and Web applications that enable our clients to efficiently meet their daily job demands. We can also modernize applications, promote data and asset retention and identify systems for obsolescence.
Organizations are often unsure of when to use commercially available software products versus custom applications. SRA is skilled in both sides of the equation. We have experience in the spectrum of open source, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) and government off-the-shelf (GOTS) applications. For specialized needs, we can customize functionality, integrate software with existing applications or design a solution from scratch.
We begin each project with a rigorous analysis of business and user needs to clarify requirements before selecting, building or implementing a solution. Because we emphasize user-centric designs, our products require minimal learning and increase user productivity and satisfaction.
Our software engineers follow a structured design and development approach that combines our ELITE® methodology with SEI/CMMI Level 3 and ISO 9000 standards. We are committed to building the highest quality products using repeatable, proven processes so we can successfully deliver against budget and scheduling requirements.
