ACQThena™ from QSI, Augmented Acquisition Intelligence

The problem
We Are Managing Tomorrow's Military Capabilities With Yesterday's Business Tools.
Multibillion dollar programs still run on spreadsheets, slide decks, email chains and disconnected schedules.
Slide factories
Hours go to rebuilding briefing slides.
- Status is copied by hand.
- The same chart is rebuilt for each review.
- Leaders wait on the deck.
Scattered data
Funding, contracts, schedules and risks live apart.
- Each system has its own export.
- Teams reconcile the same numbers.
- The picture is stale by review day.
Buried risks
Milestones get lost in administrative work.
- Warning signs sit in inboxes.
- Reviews find issues late.
- Experts write reports instead of solving problems.
Acquisition reform cannot succeed by changing the rules while keeping the same inefficient methods.
The solution
A New Operating Model for Defense Acquisition.
One platform. One connected program picture. Intelligence across the acquisition lifecycle.
One live picture from the PM to the PME, PAE and ASA(ALT).
PME (formerly CPE) is the Program Manager Executive. Some federal agencies now use Super Intelligence (SI) in place of artificial intelligence.
Your Acquisition Program. One Intelligent Operating Environment.

Traditional approach
Collect by hand, reconcile, build slides, send updates, repeat.
The ACQThena approach
