RESTON, Va., Sept. 25, 2009 — Ardent Management Consulting (ArdentMC) today announced the competitive award of a multi-year contract to deliver geospatial strategic planning and information technology services to the Department of Homeland Security. The DHS Geospatial Information Infrastructure (GII) is the defined and implemented architecture supporting enterprise-wide geospatial initiatives for DHS.
ArdentMC resources will work closely with DHS stakeholders, mission managers, and support staff to migrate the GII to multiple DHS Data Centers. As DHS components integrate their existing systems with the GII, the Geospatial Management Office (GMO) will use ArdentMC to assist those components in their physical migration and integration, working towards a unified use of DHS data center capabilities and a common approach to geospatial initiatives.
"ArdentMC is pleased to have been selected by DHS to assist in this important mission. ArdentMC's history of working with DHS on geospatial-related efforts made us a natural fit to evolve the overall architecture for the GII. We look forward to increasing the value of common geospatial services for DHS users." – Brandon LaBonte, CEO of ArdentMC.
The Geospatial Management Office within the Department of Homeland Security provides direct geospatial support to components with respect to their mission needs. The addition of ArdentMC provides the GMO with proven technical resources, not only to formalize the Geospatial Enterprise Architecture vision, but also implement user-driven geospatial capabilities for the Department. ArdentMC's contract is managed from the Geospatial Management Office at DHS, a division within the Office of the Applied Technology.
