  • Able to adhere to strict variance compliance parameters
  • Reports analyzed against the Project Baseline, Risk Assessment and Mitigation Plan

Meaningful Milestones with our Next Generation PMO

When approaching project lifecycle milestones, PMs often lack consistent guidance on required documentation, format, audience expectations, and decision authorities. Implementing our Next Generation PMO solution, Eagle Ray develops, coordinates, and trains PMs on standard briefing templates for each milestone; prepares pre- and post-milestone activity checklists to assist PMs; creates milestone attendance distribution lists; and conducts Milestone Readiness Reviews (MRRs) to provide PMs with an objective assessment of preparedness before the scheduled milestone. For one of our clients, these activities reduced the number of issues raised during milestone reviews by approximately 25% and shortened the review duration by 30 minutes on average, thus improving the effective use of time and resources.

Enterprise IT Service Management

Advanced Technology Validation and Insertion

Leverage Machine Learning to Improve Behavior-specific Risk Assessment Capabilities

Eagle Ray is responsible for designing applied analytical solutions for Customs and Border Protection (CBP) based on requirements incorporate sophisticated machine learning techniques to analyze intelligence and CBP data.

Employing an integrated and interdisciplinary team to research specific threat behavior using all reasonably available data (classified, open source, DHS historical and transactional data, etc.), Eagle Ray then analyzes and models that behavior to develop behavior-specific risk assessment techniques.  Our risk assessment techniques result in actionable intelligence to update or create watchlists or “blacklists” for suspect entities; new rule sets to target the specific threat behavior; and new machine learning models to target this specific behavior.  Once these techniques are finalized, our team works with the various Automated Targeting System (ATS) development and Operations and Maintenance (O&M) teams to integrate with existing risk assessment systems/infrastructure.
