Functional Area 3.20 Program Support
The S7 Team has a proven record of providing both Competency and Program level offices with support on complex projects involving a mixture of emerging technologies and standards, multiple user communities (interdependent and independent), and highly disparate resource scenarios. The holistic approach applied by all S7 Team members, combined with a driving customer focus, has insured the creation of multi-disciplinary teams mixing experienced personnel with diverse backgrounds in a range of disciplines: Business Administration, Program Management, Six Sigma™, Engineering, Physics, Information Technology, Psychology, and Mathematics. These teams have provided program support to over a dozen Competency organizations and over twenty Program organizations within the Virtual SYSCOM as well as several highly similar organizations within the Federal Government, wider DoD community, and commercial sector. S7 Team members have been key providers in enabling supported offices to achieve development, deployment, operational, sustainment/support, and transition goals.
