About the Company
Scitor`s customers face extraordinary challenges. They`re simultaneously confronted with aggressive timelines and dynamically changing budgets, as they battle complex and evolving requirements. These challenges are exceptional. Meeting them requires an extraordinary partner. Scitor brings an absolute dedication to extraordinary program management results. Our world-class program management professionals share a personal commitment to our customers` mission success. Based on our years of experience in dealing with and executing complex programs, we know that program management is more than just a plan. Our team consists of program managers who are regarded within the industry for taking ownership of customers` problems and implementing solutions that exceed expectations. Here are just a few examples: Scitor saved the customer hundreds of millions of dollars in the acquisitions of a major space system. Our breakthrough approach involved acquiring common hardware on an optimized production schedule and then buying the custom hardware on the approved program schedules. The solution was the result of many years of real-world experience in acquiring hardware, deep program knowledge and innovative problem solving. A program director had the immense, nearly impossible, challenge of reducing his budget, while still meeting multiple mission requirements. A small team of Scitorians developed a new program management concept to attack this problem. The government`s best engineers agreed that the revised program plan Scitor proposed was possible, and the savings were real. Scitor developed an innovative methodology to address problems in various commands. The new concept can deliver enterprise-wide management and performance monitoring on a scale that had never before been practical, leading one senior government official to state, "This will change the way we do business." A customer turned to Scitor to help solve an issue with the structure of their organization during a period of transition from one program to another. Scitor, using program managers who had dealt with this same situation, proposed an innovative approach to reorganizing their staff to enable them to transform to achieve their mission. We developed several alternatives and created a complete transition plan. The customer followed the plan, right down to the job skill descriptions Scitor developed. Scitor improved mission performance for one agency, while reducing the costs of the overall program. This outcome justified the customer`s critical program, as a direct result of a single Scitorian`s world-class expertise and balanced approach to putting mission first.
