Q: What does unique capabilities and experience does CSC bring to the Intelligence Community?
CSC sees "mission" and "IT" becoming more and more unified. We see, too the need to build enterprise solutions for mission management, processing, analysis, dissemination, and information sharing." We lead the industry in building enterprise-class solutions that fuse mission-critical needs with contemporary and forward-leaning IT infrastructures. CSC has built a security and IA consulting organization that is comprised of over 1,300 security and IA professional's of which a large percentage are cleared and certified. Examples of five of our prominent categories in this consulting space are: secure IT operations including cross-domain architectures; cyber intrusion detection response; cyber fusion and identity management; cyber policy, architecture, education and training; and force protection.
Q: How does CSC's commercial experience serve the Intelligence Community?
CSC's commercial experience ensures the Intelligence Community gets access to the widest range of proven, new, and emerging technology, thinking, and approaches. We do work today to help Virgin Money build a worldwide infrastructure in support of its micro-loan business. We help the National Health Service in the UK with its back-office systems, and we provide support throughout London Transport. We provide a very high-availability IT infrastructure for Hess Oil. We're leading the way in building public- and private- sector cloud architectures. As a result, the Intelligence Community can be sure to gain from CSC the widest range of potential solutions. Because of our global reach we see approaches to solving security related issues from a number of unique vantage points. Our security colleagues in different geographic regions through out the world have the ability to quickly share best of breed concepts and solutions, from their specific countries, that smaller less geographically dispersed IT service companies do not have access to.
Q: How can one describe CSC's commitment to national security?
CSC's support to national security goes back almost to the company's founding in 1959. We've built military logistics systems, and our technologists helped program the Aegis system that protects our Navy, intercepts ballistic missiles, and has proven effective against satellites. CSC today provides support throughout the Intelligence Community, the Department of Homeland Security, and DoD. Our people provide mission-critical support to the nation's drug and law enforcement communities. We were the first large IT systems integrator to be asked to execute with the Department of Defense a Defense Industrial Base Pilot Program Framework Agreement, under which we share information with DoD regarding cyber events, vulnerabilities, and mitigation approaches.
Q: Lots of companies talk about performance-based IT service delivery, why should I listen to McNeil?
There are several reasons to come to McNeil for your IT service delivery needs. First, we pride ourselves on being an IT company – no someone who just provides IT staff to the government. We have a corporate commitment to certification, education and training which has resulted in ISO 9000-2001 certification, a sizable percentage (growing toward 100%) of our workforce with ITIL certifications, and a large number of personnel with the certifications and training that matter to the government today, such as CISSP, led by managers schooled in Program Management (PMP) and the latest best practices in IT service delivery. Next, we have executed one of the few performance-based contracts in government that actually relied on extensive, mutually agreed Service Level Agreements to govern and assess the provision of services. We consistently met each of over 76 SLAs and exceeded them some 80% of the time. Lastly, our size is our strength. As a $600M company, we are big enough to accomplish any job, but small enough to still care about and listen to the customer. With a very flat management structure, all PMs report to the Senior VP for IT, McNeil can make decisions in hours that take others weeks or months.
Q: Why should I use McNeil for my language needs, lots of companies can provide interpreters and translators?
Maybe, but none of them are true language companies! McNeil is the largest full service language company in the US. We provide translators, interpreters, and linguists (we currently provide over 9000 FTEs to the Army in Iraq). We provide training, deep linguistic research, and language testing. We own our own publishing company (Dunwoody Press) which allows us to produce custom dictionaries, grammars, readers, glossaries, and refreshers. And we do all this in over 150 languages and dialects. Still think we’re no different than the rest?
Q: Logistics and aviation support are commodities, why McNeil?
Turn Key aviation solutions! McNeil can provide aviation solutions that are one stop shopping anywhere on the planet. The McNeil team has operated in Africa, the Middle East, CONUS, Europe, and South America and have had bases and operations in most of those regions. We are currently operating helicopters in the Middle East, STOL aircraft, wide body jets, heavy jets and cargo aircraft. We are also currently involved in a fixed wing program that maintains a LifePort medical system aboard three B767 aircraft. The McNeil team can deploy to conduct advance set-up and to make the arrangements for your accommodations, ground transportation, hangar/ramp facilities, communications, clearances, fuel, and security requirements and to establish communication lines with the entities that will be using the service. These logistics will be in place by the time the mission is started. We have the ability to set up a complete turnkey operation in anywhere in the world to do so smoothly, professionally, securely and quickly.
