A giant in the aerospace industry was under contract to build a mobile satellite communications network system to provide "next-generation" ground based, beam forming broadband satellite communications capability for customers across North America. The system would include two geo stationary communication satellites, four geographically dispersed Gateways, and a centralized network operations center. Our client was developing the earth stations and all ground-based beam forming (GBBF) systems under its contract to this aerospace leader.
Our client was in a time crunch because incumbent subcontractor was not able to meet requirements in building the satellite system's distributed Network Management System. This potentially could have resulted in contract default.
TurningPoint quickly assembled a 24-person team of software engineers with satellite communications and network management expertise, and a commitment to bring the program back on track.
TurningPoint turned the program around in just three months and averted the potential contract default situation.
Using CMMI Maturity Level 3 processes, TurningPoint conducted this complex, large-scale development project with a two-year development cycle involving multiple delivery components and milestones. TurningPoint has delivered four ontime, within-budget major software releases. For this engagement, TurningPoint has:
