The United States Air Force established the Software Enterprise Acquisition Management and Lifecycle Support (SEAMLS) office to act as the primary interface with all Air Force customers for software licensing and services. This office manages the Microsoft Enterprise Licensing and Service Agreements, the Air Force-wide Oracle Contracts and the DoD Enterprise Software Initiative (ESI). 

Through our management of the SEAMLS Project, PTG currently provides IT asset management (ITAM) solutions in the areas of Software License Management, Detailed Reporting, Policy and Procedure Compliance, Financial Management, and Requirements Management for the United States Air Force. Under the SEAMLS contract, PTG provides Software License Reconciliation and Software License Management for Microsoft and Oracle products provided to 800,000+ Air Force users geographically dispersed throughout the United States  and around the world.  

As a part of this program, PTG provides user helpdesk support, approval of My Oracle Support user applications and development and dissemination of informational documents to users in the field. SEAMLS streamlines every aspect of software licensing and management, allowing the Air Force to more effectively monitor and manage desktop and server software assets while providing the information needed to be compliant. The PTG SEAMLS License Management team collects, analyzes and delivers critical IT asset information to help accurately understand and rigorously manage software licenses. PTG provides the knowledge necessary to significantly reduce unnecessary support cost and negate inappropriate software usage, reconcile acquired licenses with software actually installed, reuse and reallocate software licenses within the organization and maximize ROI through accurate and timely asset inventory.

The SEAMLS program has generated over $98 million in cost avoidance savings for the U.S. Air Force.

Brooke Army Medical Center in San Antonio, Texas is comprised of five facilities: the Hospital, Institute of Surgical Research (ISR), Central Energy Plant, Troop Billets Buildings, and Center for the Intrepid, plus several outlying buildings. The team at BAMC provides mission critical monitoring, maintenance, and supply and provisioning support services for the security computer hardware and software systems, the CEM Access 2000 Electronic Security System (ESS), and Closed Circuit Television (CCTV)/NICE Vision System. This support includes security devices, CCTV equipment, and NICE Vision Pro Digital Recorders. The Electronic Security System (ESS) controls access to secure areas within hospital facilities with personnel proximity badges and monitors alarm points throughout the medical complex.

PTG provided installation, monitoring, and maintenance support as well as supply and provisioning support. We assisted BAMC in selecting the appropriate suppliers and performed supplier acceptance and performance reviews utilized to support the security systems at BAMC. Additionally PTG provided full life-cycle procurement support and management. This work was performed on a fixed price task order within budget.    

Booz Allen partnered with the Air Force Directory Service to synchronize identity data for more than 800,000 users and 11 Major Commands to provide a single identity repository and global address list services. These solutions provide the US Air Force the tools and strategy necessary to securely and efficiently manage the identities of its users across a vast enterprise.

As part of the Booz Allen team, PTG provides project control and support on this high enterprise-wide program on-site at Maxwell AFB-Gunter Annex. Our team provides a full range of project control support, including the development, update and maintenance of project schedules and key performance metrics. Other project coordination activities include project schedule performance and financial forecasts, status reporting, document management, ongoing communications management, activity tracking, and quality assurance of project deliverables.

PTG lead the technical development for the new Knowledge Content portal for the Federal Aviation Administration. The goal of this project was to provide an engaging user experience with fresh content, a consistent look and feel, and useful messaging. The design goal was to improve communications with ATO employees and stakeholders through a trusted and reliable interactive platform that leveraged various media types in an intuitive and navigable format.

Our project team was responsible for the package evaluation and selection of provided Web Content Management Services (WCMS) application development and configuration technology processes for the FAA. Additionally, this project involved PTG defining and managing the Information Security (IS), Information Architecture (IA) and Information Technology (IT) requirements.

PTG provided expertise in designing and building front-end/presentation layouts required for configuration into WCMS platforms using graphic elements, HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and wireframes. Throughout the contract, the FAA added responsibilities including duties associated with the development of web UI designs based on business, user and other project requirements and the creation of wire frames, mock-ups, and other clickable HTML prototypes with corresponding final coded HTML pages, and the development and refinement of Cascading Style Sheets. PTG also managed resources that collaborated and coordinated with JavaScript/AJAX and XML/XSLT-based developers as it has pertained to continued enhancement and expansion of the WCMS platform to meet the customer requirements.

Acquisition and Commodities Division is an innovative, multi-skilled, integrated team, leading the Air Force by shaping enterprise IT investments. The program provides strategic business solutions that deliver integrated joint war-fighting capabilities through agile and comprehensive lifecycle management. PTG was responsible for technical and customer service support as well as acquisition and program management oversight. PTG personnel supported the development and implementation of the Air Force programs including deviation calculations to maintain appropriate inventory, maintain the interface between Air Force Supply and Maintenance functions, and support the implementation of Electronic Data Interchange essential to the continued availability of materials necessary for the day-to-day activities of the Air Force. This team improved overall contract efficiency rating from 33% to 96% during the first 12 months of operation.
