Vigilance
Today's persistent vigilance against national threats serves to strengthen the cry for stricter adherence to proven techniques of sound engineering. ATP's experience and commitment to its customers, and its recognition of their unique needs allows ATP to bring its considerable and highly relevant background and techniques to bear on the challenges faced by these customers. ATP embraces concepts like client/server development, object-oriented analysis and design, component-driven services-based development, configuration management, enterprise architecting, acquisition program management techniques, and program analytical techniques. Furthermore, ATP members always seek to comply with applicable customer-driven and industry-driven standards when working on representative projects. In short, ATP's confirmed know-how and successful application of proven engineering principles makes its team a critical factor in ensuring your project's success.
Experience has shown us that the first steps in successfully navigating the Government's acquisition processes include understanding its rules and knowing the requirements. It has also shown us that any successful acquisition professional must have skill in integrating technology with expert acquisition knowledge and sound management processes to effectively manage acquisition program schedules and technical risks.
From requirement definition through program initiation and support, to production, life cycle support, evolutionary program management, and all the steps in between, one must use prudent risk mitigation to acquire successful project completion. At ATP, we recognize this to be well-defined project planning, thorough analyses of project technical goals, performance requirements, and system objectives.
Acquisition professionals in this career field are concerned with all of the functions of a Program Management Office (PMO) or a Program Executive Office (PEO). Program management professionals serve in a wide range of PMO and PEO positions, including program integrators and analysts, program managers, program executive officers, and their deputies. They may also serve in a number of support and management positions throughout the workforce.
The fundamental responsibilities of the program manager are to balance the many factors that influence cost, schedule, and performance; to interpret and tailor the DOD 5000 Series regulations; and to ensure that high quality, affordable, supportable, and effective defense systems are delivered to the warfighter as quickly as possible.
Our robust hands-on experience in designing and developing usable solutions that are optimal for your unique situation allow us to deliver results that are on point. In doing this, ATP team members have received numerous customer awards, including recognition for saving the U.S. Government more than $250,000. Rivaling this impressive achievement is the work of another ATP engineer whose work led to a customer-initiated promotion to Systems Engineer. On one occasion, a member of ATP acquired the equipment necessary to meet a $10 million/ seven-month requirement to upgrade a specialized communication platform. And that's not all. Other loyal ATP clients have witnessed firsthand ATP's ability to save valuable time and money, while providing critical skills and successful solutions at just the right time.
The ATP Customer Philosophy
Everyone's familiar with the hackneyed promises such as: 2We deliver knock-your-socks-off service"; "the customer is always right"; "we put the customer first" or; "Total quality management." These clichés are so overused; most of us have stopped paying attention to them and worse -- stopped expecting them to be true. That's a shame!
You see, we feel these clichés do share a single, very important theme: A service-oriented business needs to focus on the customer at all times in order to successfully complete the task. At least, that's how we operate. We believe that professional interaction and communication with our customers is the key to our success. We also believe that customers appreciate an active partnership, which allows for challenging basic customer assumptions and always going the extra mile. We meet our customer's expectations and rise to the challenge by thoroughly analyzing, confirming and generating concepts and visions, while insuring that all tasks are being accomplished in an efficient manner.
