agency and commercial IT needs since the company was founded
in 1988. Whether you need on-site resources to support end-users,
assistance in planning for future IT needs, a large scale
integration, migration or development project, or IV&V
or VV&A work to test software or systems, Axiom Corporation
can provide expert resources to solve your IT challenges.

Network
Engineering
Properly
functioning networks are crucial to productivity in every
organization. Axiom has the experience to support your network
needs, as we have performed numerous projects designing,
implementing, updating and maintaining networks. We assess
and redesign networks based on current and future needs
of clients based on performance, budget, and availability
requirements. Axiom has experience implementing virtual
environments with VMWare and Citrix. During network projects,
we maintain controlled staging, testing, and operational
environments, including implementing processes and procedures
for configuration management and quality assurance. We are
skilled in working with products from many manufacturers,
and have worked with routers, bridges, firewalls and other
networking equipment by Cisco, HP, 3Com, Dell, and others.

Systems
Integration
Every
office, every initiative, every IT user is different. That's
why Axiom goes beyond stock solutions made to force-fit
your application. We listen to what you need, and we analyze
how you work
and how you could work faster, more efficiently,
more productively.
Most
importantly, we assess the systems already in place, and
work with those to integrate current and new technology
with minimal workflow interruption. Leveraging familiar
platforms and interfaces, Axiom designs systems that promote
integration and scalability. Legacy system updates, database
platform upgrades and core data software changes can all
be performed as part of a complete systems integration with
cost containment and operational efficiency as the driving
factors.

Technology
Assesment and Planning
If
you know you need some improvements in technology within
your organization, but aren't quite sure where to start,
Axiom can help. We'll work with your IT department and organizational
management to evaluate your hardware, your software, your
network, your people, and your processes. We'll look at
your needs, your resources, and your goals for the future.
At the end of the assessment, we provide you with a thorough
report identifying what's working and what's not, and where
you can improve, be more efficient, be more secure, or better
poised for growth. Whatever your goals, we'll recommend
a plan to get there based on where you are today.
Depending
on what we find, recommendations could include anything
from software integration to prevent dual work, to training
employees to more efficiently use applications they already
have. Once the assessment is complete, Axiom can implement
some or all of the steps in the plan.
If
your organization needs help assessing the current areas
for improvement, planning for the future, or identifying
needs and costs for an upcoming budget season, let us help.
We've performed audits and developed plans for numerous
other organizations and can do the same for you.

Business
Continuity/Disaster Recovery
System
failures, natural disasters, acts of terrorism and fires
are all threats that could cripple IT systems. Axiom has
created and implemented business continuity/disaster recovery
plans for organizations such as Metropolitan Atlanta Rapid
Transit Authority (MARTA), and can do the same for you.
After thorough analysis, Axiom recommends a program that
best fits the needs, budget, and priority level of your
systems and information, leaving you with confidence that
your organization's precious data will be safe and your
downtime will be minimized in the event of a major problem.

Database
Management, Design and Development
In
today's world, managing data for efficiency and accuracy
is an absolute necessity. Whether your organization needs
to develop a new database or manage, migrate or upgrade
an existing one, Axiom has the skills and experience to
support you. Axiom's experience in databases is in design,
administration and development. We have worked with Oracle,
SQL Server, and Access to develop large scale, mid-level,
and small databases for a variety of purposes. We can provide
design, optimization, updating, and data migration. We have
also developed schemas, queries, and stored procedures within
a database for client/server applications. If you are looking
for more flexible database access and data manipulation,
we are also familiar with T-SQL and PL/SQL to meet your
unique needs.

Application
Development
The
value in your operation resides in two primary investments
- your people, and the tools you give them to do their jobs
with. Axiom Corporation offers a core competency in analyzing
your workflow and outcomes, then developing technology-based
solutions that get you furthest, fastest and most cost-effectively.
A
key consideration present in all developed products is user
satisfaction. Axiom is diligent in understanding where and
how the products will be used, and even more importantly,
by whom.
Axiom
has diverse experience developing software products for
specialized applications. We are familiar with the processes
and the pitfalls of full life-cycle software development
and rely on a sound methodology refined through years of
government and private sector service. Using standardized
software environments when possible to avoid proprietary
issues (along with their expense and incompatibility), our
applications are designed for integration and scalability.
While the solution can be turnkey, Axiom collaborates with
clients throughout the development process, offering regular
progress reports and open dialogue regarding opportunities
and issues.

Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V)
No matter
how much time or what level of resources are put into software
and systems development, IV&V may still be needed to
provide a third party review of whether the system fully
does what its intended to or not. Axiom Corporation
can provide this support. We do not have affiliations with
outside software developers, meaning the IV&V work is
truly independent and free of outside influences. Plus,
our experts follow a documented path to verify and validate
that all the steps from design, code and test IV&V,
integration, and performance meet requirements.
We are
also familiar with the planning, inspections, reporting,
installation test, operations and maintenance IV&V,
plus compliance, documentation and acquisition elements
IV&V. Finally, Axiom will provide after-action assessments
as part of the process, in a straight-forward manner which
does not judge success or place blame, but rather attempts
to discover why things happened, focuses directly at the
task and goals that were to be accomplished, and encourages
all involved to directly discuss important issues that were
raised in the process in order to focus on system improvement.
The end result is that your organization will be confident
in the results and performance capability of your systems
and software.
