Case Study: US Army Selection Board Automation

Customer: U.S. Army Personnel Command (PERSCOM) and Department of the Army Secretariat
(Litton/PRC, now Northrop Grumman, prime contractor)
US Army
Goal: Design, build, maintain and support Selection Board Automation System (SBAS)
Application: Complete systems lifecycle responsibility (requirements, design, development, testing, verification, validation, documentation, operations, maintenance, and support, for the Selection Board Automation System (SBAS), the automated system used by the U.S. Army to track officers selected for all promotion, command, and educational assignments
Challenges: Incompatible legacy systems, lack of enterprise-wide application requirements, highly-visible client application, need to seamlessly transition from legacy automated/manual processes to new application with no degradation in mission performance
FTI's Approach: During Phase I timeframe, FTI successfully built and validated a proof-of-concept Advanced Pharmacovigilance Tool, and:
  • Utilized structured lifecycle methodologies, Joint Application Development (JAD), James Martin Information Engineering (IE) techniques
  • Specified requirements, designed, developed, implemented, and supported the SBAS School and Command Board Subsystems
  • Designed, coded, and/or maintained more than 60 forms and 120 reports included in the SBAS system
  • Provided maintenance support and enhancements to the SBAS Promotion Board Subsystem
  • Provided operational systems support to multiple U.S. Army Officer Selection Boards in their use of the SBAS system and the School, Command, and Promotion Board subsystems
  • Provided technical OCR software support for bar code system input functions
  • Performed Oracle DBA functions, including database instance creation and maintenance, performance tuning, system backup and recovery
Products Used: Oracle, SQL*Forms, SQL*Report Writer, SQL*Menu, IBM, RISC/6000, AIX/UNIX
Benefits: More complete, accurate, timely, and efficient Army processing of promotion, command, and educational assignments, and improved force morale
Delivery: On time, within budget. CMMI Level 3 project.
