Defense Logistics Agency (DLA)

Tony Berta: Program Manager, Technical Quality, DLA Headquarters
“For the past few years, the Defense Logistics Agency has been involved in perhaps its most ambitious project.  Modernizing the way we provide support to America’s war fighters will result in significantly improved capabilities for our armed forces and our allies.  Part of our business systems modernization involved the transformation of data describing literally billions of items that are procured for the Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force.  Data Blueprint has developed a unique technical approach to measuring baseline quality assessments and the effects of improvements to those baselines over time.  Further, they have implemented an extremely difficult technical solution to ensure that DLA personnel can see the effects of their improvements to the quality of our data immediately.  This is a technical feat that no contract has been able to implement in the more than three decades that our system has been running.”

Elizabeth Davis: Sr. Operations Officer, CCBIQ
“Rarely does one say that they enjoyed an audit but the opportunity to work recently with Data Blueprint was actually fun and a great learning experience.  The professionalism, depth of expertise, and objective benchmarking techniques of the Data Blueprint team motivated us to take full advantage of the opportunity to work with them.  We approached the audit as an opportunity to learn about ways to improve and expand our institutional influence and Data Blueprint’s team offered suggestions and specific guidance that we, in at least one case so far, have already begun to implement.  Their project manager and team were all accessible, responsive, and respected the importance of confidentiality in our discussions.  We would welcome the opportunity to work on other projects or future audits with Data Blueprint.”

Carly Massaberg: SSO Large Volume Testing Supervisor
“It is difficult dealing with complex systems and massive amounts of data and Data Blueprint has been very accommodating with our suggestions/requirements.  (…)  Previously, I had to look in many different databases to get the information that I needed – now all of that information is stored in one database.  (…) The Allelos software is able to communicate with other software applications (FUSION and ASSIGN) so the different lab sections can import their results into the same database and we can see each other’s results easily – no more cut/paste or typographical errors from manual entry.  (…)”

Colonial Webb Contractors

Marv Evans: Vice President, XACTEC, Former IT Director/Project Manager
“ColonialWebb began using our new ERP January 1 – exactly according to the project plan I set in motion 10 months earlier.  The project resulted from a recent merger of two leading Richmond and Norfolk based companies.  The merger required that ColonialWebb abandon two dissimilar platforms then carefully cleanse, transform, and migrate thousands of client, vendor, and service location records.  Data Blueprint provided key technical and project leadership throughout the effort.  Their technical advice was never in error and their commitment to our success was unparalleled in my 30 years in technology and technology management.  The project was an absolute textbook success.  Under budget, on-time, users fully trained, and not a single disruption to our clients.  I would not have succeeded without the commitment and expertise Data Blueprint brought to the project.  If Data Blueprint does not win this award (2006 GRTC IT Builders Award) you need to create one for them.”

Glenn Carney: Director Data Services and Business Intelligence
“Data Blueprint was able to significantly accelerate our metadata repository efforts.  By taking advantage of the “repository in a week” program, we were able to gain valuable knowledge, create a working prototype and actually start gathering metadata!  With help from the experts at Data Blueprint, in just five days we were able to quickly get our staff up to speed on metadata concepts and build a functioning repository!”
