Alion Secures Task Order to Support Naval Sea Systems IT ManagementJun 30, 2009 (Close-Up Media via COMTEX) -- Alion Science and Technology, an employee-owned technology solutions provider, reported it has been awarded an $84.7 million task order to support the Naval Sea Systems (NAVSEA) Command Information Officer (CIO) by consolidating IT systems, including the NAVSEA Intranet. The Alion team noted it will support and manage the NAVSEA Legacy applications and operations as they transition into the Navy-Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) program or the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning Tool. The team will also assist NAVSEA in defining requirements and design standards for its follow-on system, the Next Generation Enterprise Network (NGEN). In addition, NAVSEA is consolidating all of their external Web sites and migrating to single-point hosting while the internal sites are migrated to a Microsoft SharePoint-based system. "This contract helps NAVSEA combine a majority of its support services under one contractor, which improves technical efficiency, reduces costs, improves IT security and provides an enhanced integration of all NAVSEA enterprise IT functions and assets," said Timer Keenan, Alion Senior Vice President and Manager of the Strategic Operations Group. "Our goal is to assist NAVSEA in viewing information technology as a contributor to mission effectiveness versus a simple cost of doing business." Under this new task order, which has one base year, an option year, and three Award Term Years, Alion will provide operational and technical services, including resource management, enterprise application management, database and software development, and network management. To support the task order, issued under the NAVSEA SeaPort-E contract, Alion is leading a team that includes General Dynamics IT, Infosoft, Pac Solutions, Information Innovators and Imagine One.
