Systems integration for government programs

Your program can't afford another integration surprise.

Epic Solutions Group helps program offices, prime contractors and SBIR/STTR teams pull systems, subcontractors and schedules into one plan, so the gaps get found in planning instead of at the review.

The problem

Every team says they're on track. The integration says otherwise.

If you run a program, lead a capture, or just won your first SBIR, you've probably lived one of these.

"Each subcontractor is green. So why is the program yellow?"

Milestones get met on paper while interfaces, data and hand-offs between teams quietly drift apart.

"The requirements changed, and half the team didn't hear."

Decisions live in email threads and slide decks, so engineering, logistics and finance are building to different versions.

"We won Phase I. Now we need to look like a real program."

Strong technology, but no systems engineering plan, verification approach or reporting rhythm that a sponsor or prime expects for Phase II.

What it costs

Gaps between teams don't stay small.

  • Rework late in the schedule, when every change touches hardware, software and paperwork at once.
  • Hard questions at the design review that nobody on the team owns the answer to.
  • Subcontractor disputes over who was responsible for an interface no one wrote down.
  • A sponsor or prime losing confidence, which shows up in the next phase, option year or teaming decision.

Nobody plans for this. It happens when no one owns the seams between the teams.

How ESG helps

We own the seams.

ESG brings systems engineering discipline and plain-spoken project management to the places where programs usually break: between teams, between documents, and between what was promised and what was built.

Map it

  • Requirements, interfaces and owners in one view
  • Risks and open decisions named early
  • A baseline everyone agrees to

Integrate it

  • Clear roles and measurable milestones for every subcontractor
  • Model-based and digital engineering where it pays off
  • Verification and validation planned from day one

Keep it visible

  • Regular status your sponsor can read in five minutes
  • Stakeholders aligned before reviews, not during them
  • Documentation that survives the next phase
Who we work with

Built for three kinds of teams.

Government buyers

Program offices

Need a small business that can coordinate technical, administrative and operational work and report on it clearly.

Primes

Prime contractors

Looking for an MWOSB teammate with real systems engineering depth for integration, V&V or program support work.

SBIR / STTR

Small tech teams

Have strong technology and need a systems engineering and program management partner to carry it into the next phase.
