CNC moves on January 1,
2012 to a new head office located at the Bethesda Metro Center in downtown
Bethesda. The new head office will house up to 35 personnel including
management, administrative, business development, proposal development, and
subject matter expertise.
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.
Additionally, the demand
for computing power and storage in the Federal government is increasing
even as OMB moves to eliminate more than 800 data centers. To add
more capacity while reducing the number of data centers, Federal
agencies will need to make the remaining centers more efficient. In
fact, cutting the number of data centers by one-third while retaining
performance, security, and cost containment require a new way of
managing the data center.
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.
