     System Design Documentation & Technical Data Support (Contract #IMF01-15620)

       The International Monetary Fund (IMF) engaged the services of Grant Thornton Global Public Sector (GPS) to launch the Integrated Budgeting, Management Information, and Performance Management Infrastructure (IB-MI-PMI) project.  Grant Thornton successfully completed the Conceptual Design Phase of this project in May 2006 and was awarded the contract for the Implementation Phase.  The Implementation Phase is planned to be delivered in four main releases, to increase the effectiveness of the delivery team and to facilitate the introduction of the changes to the organization.

     Software Engineering, Development, Programming, & Network Support (Contract #IMF01-15620)

         The Veteran's Benefits Administration (VBA) Enterprise Data Warehouse (EDW) serves as VBA's principal business intelligence tool for strategic and operational performance, business process, and financial management.  Grant Thornton designed and constructed an enterprise data warehouse (EDW) that satisfies VBA's need for business information critical in the decision-making process using an iterative system development life cycle that rolled out new features and enhancements in increments every 90 days. 

    Information Systems Development, Information Assurance, & Information Technology Support (Contract #DAAB07-03-D-B012)

         The Navy Base Realignment and Closure Project Management Office Southwest (BRAC PMO) is in the middle of a 15 year, $3 billion effort to track and reassign more than 200,000 acres of former military installations.  Grant Thornton provided the Navy BRAC PMO the ability to quickly answer data calls and for business users to create, customize, and display management reports.  Our solution allows the knowledge workers to spend more time on proactive analysis and problem solving instead of trying to reactively find and summarize data to satisfy a data call.

    Logistics Support (SubContractor to MRPI #6117-142-GT)

         In supporting the Lean Six Sigma initiative for IMCOM, Grant Thornton helped to develop and manage the Lean Six Sigma program across the Command.  Grant Thornton personnel served as the Deployment Advisor, lending expertise to the organization on governance, program management, training, and capacity building efforts.  Grant Thornton worked with the Program Leadership to develop a process to select and validate the best initiatives for implementation throughout the Command at its installations worldwide.

    Analytical & Organizational Assessment Support (Contract #GS-10F-0285L)

       Grant Thornton, in partnership with RGS Inc., is providing technical and consulting support services to assist in their review of the 37 Installation Core Business Model processes.  To do this, we are providing highly skilled and diversified teams on-site to support the Business Performance Offices at Marine Corps Installations (MCI) East and MCI West as they transition to their desired end state of the Marine Corps Installation Command Structure.  Using a four phased approach (Strategy and Planning, Analyze, Design, Implement and Sustain), we are working in partnership with the MCI and installation staffs to identify and implement the highest quality, most cost efficient service delivery method to support Marines, their units and families, and the Civilian Marines with whom they serve.  Specific tasks include strategy mapping; functional analysis; e-business solution research, strategy, planning and design; business planning; data collection and analysis; electronic collaboration support; benchmarking; privatization support; management support; and initiative implementation support.
