Independent Assessment

of Government Programs

     Many government programs have never been thoroughly evaluated. The evaluations that have been completed have not sufficiently produced budget priorities or changed agency management practices. Many agencies lack an office of evaluation with the standing and staffing to support determined, strategic, objective, and relevant evaluation processes.

Hence, many government programs have persisted year after year without adequate substantiation that they meet their intended outcomes. In some cases, evaluation funds have flowed into studies of insufficient thoroughness or policy significance. Federal programs are rarely evaluated using multiple scenarios with the goal of identifying those that are more productive and cost-effective. And findings of completed evaluations do not always reach the right decision makers to cause sufficient program changes and rebaselining.

Independent and rigorous evaluation of government and private sector programs can be performed by highly specialized CNC subject matter experts using our Portfolio, Program and Project Performance Assessment (P4A^™) methodology. The CNC P4A methodology can help determine whether enterprise programs are achieving their intended outcomes as effectively as possible and at the lowest possible cost. P4A evaluations can also help senior management formulate and develop new programs and also strengthen the design and operation of existing programs.

Government

Transformation

The Federal Government is currently facing unprecedented challenges in the following areas:  maximizing resources with shrinking budgets; demonstrating accountability and transparency; meeting privacy concerns; accelerating IT deployments; and keeping up with emerging technologies.

Most government IT infrastructures were developed in response to urgent business needs without long-term view. The approach created underutilized, complex and costly to maintain IT environments. At the same time, federal agencies continue to be exposed to vulnerability risks due to a patchwork of legacy networks.

CNC is successfully participating on government transformation efforts. Our experts scrutinize processes and technologies and uncover new ways to align IT with business needs, control costs and risks, improve productivity, and increase service levels. We also identify cost-savings opportunities in data center consolidation as well as Green IT, virtualization, server consolidation, infrastructure optimization, and cloud computing.

We understand that cloud computing will help meet goals of collaboration, energy efficiency, transparency and cost savings. We also understand that overhaul and consolidation of data centers and migration to cloud computing platforms will help optimize the hosting of applications.

And to help our clients stay ready, CNC facilitates access to the latest technologies and solutions. This ensures we render unbiased recommendations with the utmost independence and objectivity.
