AAG provides system configuration, analytical services, innovative applications, and data integration across the U.S. Army’s senior leadership enterprise. AAG’s problem-solving capabilities involve massive enterprise data integration and analysis coupled with the most advanced Information Technology solutions available. 

AAG’s Person-Event Data Environment (PDE) contains sensitive manpower, training, financial, health, and medical records covering U.S. Army personnel, civilian contractors, and military dependents. AAG needed big data management and data analytics expertise to support key research projects across the DoD.

TIAG provided expertise in big data management and data analytics, ensuring DoD leaders and researchers had access to a trove of information that delivered meaningful insights with speed and accuracy. We accumulated, transferred, and accessed controlled personnel, financial, and logistic related data for DoD research studies and projects and conducted data acquisition and transformations to ensure the data were fit for use. We also provided a data dictionary for each transformed data set and delivered automated scripts used for data transformation. 

By delivering ongoing, high-quality data management and Extract, Transform, and Load (ETL) support services for a DoD-wide big data solution, we were able to complete hundreds of AAG projects, including research studies, surveys and leadership dashboards. By applying our expertise in developing algorithms that reveal meaningful, effective data patterns, we created a machine learning solution for AAG to analyze large amounts of data and produce informed predictions, reducing man hours in a very complex task related to national security.

The mission of the RHC-A and its more than 17,000 staff members is to provide world-class, proactive and patient-centered health care for approximately 600,000 service members, retirees, and their families.

RHC-A needed a solution to integrate its data repository of 187 unique metrics across business, quality, and performance data into a model that could show MTF commanders the five most important metrics to them by functional area.

There was no single view of the siloed data and RHC-A needed a solution with a comparative view over time for forecasted and actual metrics. To provide meaningful data with methodology and rationale, we created a data repository for their 187 unique metrics, and categorized them so that RHC-A could view the top five metrics most important to each functional area. The data was too substantial (100+ GB) to fit into an Excel spreadsheet and caused continual crashes and stalls, so we created a dashboard where commanders could get a comparative view over time for forecasted and actual metrics. TIAG’s team calculated new metrics to quantify variability, financial impact, and ability to change within each installation. Our solution guarantees reproducibility for each analysis and RHC-A is able to innovate and leverage more data than ever before and optimize resources to further mission accomplishments.

By building an interactive dashboard to enable user-driven exploration of the data, we empowered each MTF commander with clear insights around key mission areas important to their facility. The time to complete analysis is now a matter of minutes for repeat analysis and report generation, including an updated dashboard for more than 30 simultaneous users.

As the U.S. Army’s medical materiel developer, USAMRMC is responsible for medical research, development, acquisition, and medical logistics management. Medical information and products developed by USAMRMC protect and sustain the health and safety of the warfighter through deployment and combat, particularly on the battlefield.

USAMRMC’s organizations developed processes and technology on an individual program basis, limiting their ability to communicate and share information across the entire command. A new information management capability was needed to meet the evolving needs of medical research and product development, requiring a comprehensive analysis of command and business transformation efforts.

TIAG developed a knowledge platform with a comprehensive view of the command’s functional areas within each organization, illuminating individual command group requirements, best practice processes, pain points, and inefficiencies. By applying data analytics to the Research Management Enterprise Capability (RMEC) financial execution requirements, we were able to deliver a dashboard with views ranging from the enterprise level to individual organizations as well as bring in contextual data to clarify the underlying cause of execution performance.

By fusing data analytics and optimization with process reengineering, we were able to ensure the accuracy and integrity of USAMRMC’s business intelligence and financial data, provide a model for leadership transparency in the financial execution of the R&D program and allow visibility into how all components and programs function at all levels of the organization. With direct access to critical information, leadership is now able to spend less time in spreadsheets to ensure target financial spending.

The mission of NIWC is to deliver information warfare solutions that protect national security across communication systems, networking systems, cyber operations, intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, business systems, and information security.

When MHS governance reform made integrated, standardized, and shared Health IT an imperative, NIWC–Atlantic required a partner that could provide stalwart engineering support and real-time intelligence across the DHA’s Military Treatment Facilities (MTFs) and their associated medical departments and organizations.

Tailoring our approach and solutions specifically to the combined missions of NIWC and DHA, TIAG provided a full suite of support across business intelligence, clinical intelligence systems engineering, data modeling and integration, health registries systems engineering, information assurance, systems engineering, systems integration, and systems testing for NIWC’s Medical Information Delivery Integrated Project Team. We developed and operated secure applications for analysis and research, dashboards, data collection, and reporting tools. We maintained and modernized their systems and database, provided analytics, training, and help desk support, and added a BI content gallery that promoted content delivery, transparency, and user collaboration across the DHA and VA enterprise. In support of the Clinical Intelligence Systems Engineering task, we provided Health Information Technology subject matter expertise and engineering support, and we advised and assisted system lifecycle management in support of MHS clinical intelligence mission objectives. As a component of clinical information system planning and design, we helped evaluate functional requirements and end user needs and conducted business process and data flow analysis. We also developed applications and dashboards that integrated with the Health Services Data Warehouse (HSDW), and we provided a complete publishing environment for the timely distribution of information to the field, improving decision-making processes while optimizing performance.

Our work with the NIWC had a positive impact on more than 100,000 users across 15 custom medical application web portals and Business Intelligence (BI) tools used by more than 300 MTFs and clinics. This work directly helped the DHA achieve its mission to lead the MHS integration of readiness and health to increase readiness, improve health, better care, and lower costs.
