What Our Clients Say

The virtual experience worked well, thanks to Rod O.’s handling of meetings and SharePoint for configuration management. Overhead support from Peter S. and Jeni P. made it even smoother. Thanks to the entire SMA team for their support!”

Capture Support and Proposal Development

We greatly appreciated Jeffrey E.’s exceptional support on our proposal. He went above and beyond, mentoring authors to improve both the product and their processes. Our proposal received high marks during color team reviews, and we couldn’t have done it without him.

James E. successfully supported the transition to become the singular PCA for a $100M R&D full EV program. His efforts included managing EV deliverables, subcontractor closeout, and collaborating with the customer on IBR criteria. We plan to extend him until March 2021.

Dan M. has been a great help, diligently supporting multiple teams with accurate, up-to-date schedule assessments. His support was critical in meeting program reporting requirements. Dan’s efforts are well recognized by myself and the entire program management team.

The ability to add consultants is really paying off. Mike D. is an excellent EV analyst who took charge of the program and is doing a fantastic job. He’s been a breath of fresh air for me on the program.

I want to express my appreciation for Tim T.’s support in the Surveillance component of the EVM Program. Over a year, Tim taught me EVMS and Surveillance, led audits, created training, and incorporated lessons learned into policy. His expertise and leadership made us effective much faster.

Elisca S. joined in April/May 2020 and has done an outstanding job. Our CPAR rating from the US Air Force improved from Satisfactory to Very Good, thanks to her dedication. She always goes above and beyond. I enjoy working with her and look forward to future projects together.
