Systems Analysis

A holistic approach to solving your most complex IT challenges

SCALABLE AND FUTURE-PROOF

We apply a holistic perspective to systems analysis, solving our clients’ most complex problems. We take all aspects of the system into account, taking a broad view while breaking apart components and getting to know every function and process to best determine the best way forward. Our engineers troubleshoot existing roadblocks and design a system that is scalable to future needs.

SOFTWARE MEASUREMENT

We measure software size by quantifying the user functionality from logical design for a consistent measure across projects and organizations. Logapps delivers functional software size estimates based on industry best practices to accurately support cost and resource estimation, quality and productivity analysis, and vendor benchmarking.

Logapps provides Certified Function Point Specialists (CFPS) who deliver detailed, function point estimates from requirements, use cases, user stories, and design artifacts. We also provide function point training to help our clients develop an internal software measurement capability.

Logapps has developed an automated function point counting application that greatly reduces the effort required to develop size estimates.

AGILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT

Many federal organizations are managing software delivery using the Agile development methodology. For this to be successful, there needs to be a shift communication, contracting, and management processes. Whether you are building an enterprise-level scaled Agile framework or implementing Scrum for a major project, Logapps can provide Certified Agile Scrum Masters and Agile training to ensure understanding and success.

Logapps offers an independent cost estimate of your Agile projects, analyzation of Agile teams for quality and productivity, and the identification metrics needed to ensure the project is on schedule.

COST ESTIMATION

Logapps delivers comprehensive, defendable, robust cost estimates that identify the resources and funding necessary to support technology development, deployment, and maintenance at a specified risk threshold. Drawing from the latest industry data, best practices, and tools, our team provides budget guidance that captures the total cost of ownership and helps managers set realistic budgets for their program. Our Independent Cost Estimates (ICEs) provide an overall view of a program’s cost and schedule, and Independent Government Cost Estimates (IGCEs) help program managers and procurement officials ensure that the government receives fair and reasonable prices from vendors and service providers. Additionally, a Logapps cost estimate gives you peace of mind and a thorough understanding of the financial landscape of your project from the start, along with the data and documentation to successfully defend against IG and GAO audits. 

BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS

A Logapps Business Case Analysis identifies the preferred solution to meet IT mission objectives and presents a clear and unbiased methodology for investment decisions based on performance, cost, schedule, and risk. We ensure that our clients thoroughly understand their requirements from multiple stakeholder perspectives and are better equipped to make important decisions that ultimately guide the course of their project. The Business Case is also an excellent tool to clearly articulate the benefit of investing in the project to stakeholders and other interested parties.

Logapps also produces Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) deliverables, which assess competing alternatives based on cost, benefit, risk, schedule, and other metrics. Click here to view our Case Study, Purchased Care Alternatives Analysis – Evaluation of Business Strategic Options.

PORTFOLIO ANALYSIS

Logapps conducts a thorough examination of the products and services that make up your organization’s business portfolio. We can help deliver trade-off analysis to identify the most efficient uses of capital as part of the budgeting process, develop your strategic IT roadmap, and identify projects that require technology infusion.

Logapps can help both CIOs and business managers address complex portfolio-level decisions with the cutting-edge technologies and data visualization techniques.

REQUIREMENTS ANALYSIS

Understanding  and presenting project requirements are the keys to overall success, and Logapps has business analysts with extensive expertise documenting functional and non-functional requirements on a variety of projects. Logapps business analysts go straight to the source, communicating with system users to determine specific feature expectations and ensuring requirements are mission-based, measurable, traceable, testable, fully documented, and defined to a level suitable for systems design.
