Achieving interoperability brings a set of challenges that differ from those of traditional development. We offer tools and methods to help an organization achieve the business and mission goals it has set for a system of systems.

Our system-of-systems tools and methods include

• Governance and acquisition diagnostic tools: We offer a variety of tools to address the broad range of challenges that stem from managing and governing a system-of-systems effort.
• Service Migration and Reuse Technique (SMART): If you are migrating legacy applications to a service-oriented architecture (SOA) environment, use SMART to determine what is needed and the costs involved. Think that you do not need to plan? Legacy applications that appear to be 90% compatible with required services in an SOA environment may in fact prove to require substantial effort for adapting to a specific SOA environment. SMART analyses provide reports of the findings and recommendations for keeping the systems interoperability effort on track.
• T-Check technology evaluations: This technique is ruthlessly efficient; it provides insight into how technologies will perform in the customer's context without requiring a large investment.
