Areas of Expertise We continually go on about our people but they are the key to success. Their ability to help customers is based on their depth of training and experience. This combined with leadership skills, means that they can hit the ground running and quickly adapt to the environments that they are working in. In an environment of ever increasing complexity, our staff are well placed to cut through the complexity to provide simple and concise outcomes. Project Management Sigma Bravo personnel have been employed within Australian Defence Force Major Projects since 2000, providing specialist project management services. Defence assistance includes the provision of full time support to Joint Project 5195, GPS for the Australian Defence Force. In supporting this project, our personnel are part of the project management team, assisting and advising on project requirements, scheduling, logistic support and industry/Defence liaison. In addition, we also support a number of electronic warfare projects in a similar capacity with key emphasis on the development of project documentation. Our staff are skilled in the use of various project management tools including Microsoft Project and Open Plan Professional. Additionally, we have worked with a range of project management methodologies including PMBOK, Prince2 and PMM. Information Technology This has been a core ability of the company, since its inception. Our Technical Director, Mr Brad Hards is established in the Linux community as an authority on Universal Serial Bus aspects of the operating system and has presented academic papers at Linux forums worldwide. Through our other staff, we have several years experience in the management of large computer networks including system design, network adminstration and systems security. These skills are currently being utilised for management of the introduction of software applications onto Australian Defence Force computer networks. Our staff have experience working with Government, Defence and large corporate networks. Drawing on this and their academic studies, our staff are able to undertake network analysis across the broad spectrum of network management components, in order for customers to rationalise their IT infrastructure. Business Analysis / Process Re-engineering In response to growing demand, Sigma Bravo has expanded into business analysis and process re-engineering. Government and private sector organisations require people that can take a holistic customer-focused systems view and provide innovative recommendations for efficiencies and better ways to do business. Sigma Bravo has an extensive and growing network of people with experience in areas such as supply chain management and commercial support programs. Systems Engineering This is fundamental in achieving outcomes that meet functional requirements. People are not capable of managing the development of complex systems. This is where systems engineering comes into play. It is used to break down complex requirements into manageable components that can be processed by individuals. Note that this can be applied to much broader fields than just engineering. Our personnel are practitioners of systems engineering, employing the principles in order to assist customers realise their requirements and introduce new capabilities Risk Management The Australian Standard AS/NZS 4360:1999 is the basis of our risk management services. The Australian Standard forms a solid baseline for risk management, from which to tailor risk management practices for an organisation's needs. The implementation of risk management practices can be seen as a burden on organisations, if not managed correctly. Implementation of these practices needs to be done in cognisance of the culture of the organisation. Further, people need to realise that risk is not only negative. Far too many organisations focus on negative risk as opposed to the positive. Risk that can realise savings for example may be worth it when considering the likelihood and consequence.
