Serco’s Model-Based Capability Engineering utilizes a methodology that is:
- Robust – Grounded in rigorous modeling of data, processes, and people, Serco helps graphically depict current “as is” capabilities, gaps and dependencies.
- Visually Animated – As the first in the industry to develop 2-D and 3-D graphical representations for Enterprise Architecture models. Serco enables organizations to visualize the impact of governance, organizational process changes or systems acquisitions under multiple operational scenarios.
- Interactive – By establishing a common language across all stakeholders, Serco helps to efficiently develop “to be” processes with compelling business case metrics.
- Dynamic – Flexible and reusable models enable Serco to support a project’s entire life cycle, from concepts definition through acquisition and fulfillment.
Applications
Serco’s Model-Based Capability Engineering provides the means to support decision-making, reduce complexity and risk in systems development, and drive innovation within an organization. As a recognized thought leader in Enterprise Architecture, we offer a next generation approach to designing and integrating complex systems and business processes.
Serco’s models are created for flexibility and reusability to enable ease of modification and enhancement throughout a project or product’s entire life cycle -- from the requirements definition through acquisition, implementation and sustainment. Initially developed for Department of Defense Architecture Framework (DoDAF)-compliant applications and scenarios, our models are scalable for any organization requiring rigorous analysis to ensure the most compliant, efficient and secure solutions in accordance with business needs and requirements.
Applications of Serco’s Model-Based Capability Engineering include:
- Strategic planning, advocacy and requirements documents
- Operational concepts and organizational responsibilities mapping
- Development and implementation support for wargames, training and exercises
- Service specification and prototyping service support for software development
Collaborative Approach
Serco takes an interactive, collaborative approach and works directly with subject matter experts and project stakeholders. Our engineers gather key data and build a consistent common language to be used throughout the organization. With that language, Serco captures and analyzes data that will drive the modeling of resources, technology, processes, and people. Our Model-Based Capability Engineering uses a dynamic modeling approach to overcome proprietary solutions and delivering understandable results and visualization tools.
Enhanced Visualization
Unique to the industry, Serco’s event and model driven 2-Dimensional (2D) and 3-Dimensional (3D) solutions help bring projects to life. Our models are presented through understandable, flexible and holistic animated visual presentations. Serco’s UML animations connect enterprise architecture with mission and operations requirements to help better articulate projects for evaluation by stakeholders and decision makers. Our approach provides advantages over traditional structured analysis methods that focus more on the process rather than the data and behaviors needed to achieve a measured system response. Side-by-side scenarios enable users to identify process gaps, eliminate resource overlaps and evaluate alternatives before entering the development and design phase. This reduces cost, labor inefficiencies, and avoids potential design failures.
Serco offers a proven design method that combines object-oriented techniques with the Unified Modeling Language (UML). Our methodology accurately captures capability and functional needs to enable easier and faster future reuse of data within the model when needed in rapidly changing environments.
Conceptual Blueprint
Serco provides system engineers with the necessary information by describing the behavior of the system and content of the information without placing technical restrictions on system or data design. Combining systems requirements engineering with organizational business process definition lays the foundation for an integrated system and operational capabilities management approach – employing the very same principles used by system designers. Our process provides the roadmap to integrate multiple systems, sensors, and command and control processes while providing a unified view of the operations.
Serco’s Model-Based Capability Engineering will help achieve results that matter, including: - Reduces costs and saves time
- Increases efficiencies and removes redundancies
- Superior acquisition advocacy through clearer understanding of resource needs and tie costs to initiatives, initiatives to capabilities, and capabilities to business objectives
- Exceptional risk management, assessment and mitigation
- Improved continuity of training tools
