Our risk-based methodology conforms to Best Practices, relevant international standards, and regulations/guidelines from government agencies. Our Methodology provides a uniform framework in which we train our consultants. This helps us prepare them for IV&V engagements in which we play a leadership role as well as engagements in which we augment IV&V teams using the client’s methodology. A high level view of the Methodology is provided in Figure 1 and described below. The overall objective of Almond Consulting’s IV&V Methodology is to establish documented evidence that the system does what it has been designed to do and will continue to operate correctly in the future. As shown in Figure 1, the output of the methodology includes an IV&V Documentation Package that provides objective evidence that all software requirements have been implemented correctly and completely. This includes evidence that the system produces the intended results and that all functionality is traceable to system requirements. The Methodology is driven by a Management Process that ensures that each of the 5 Steps in the Methodology is followed correctly, completely, on-schedule, and within budget. When Xxxxxx Consulting manages an IV&V engagement we take full responsibility for seeing that the appropriate documentation is produced in each of the Steps and that this documentation meets agreed upon quality objectives. These quality objectives must be consistent with the company’s Quality System. We produce regular Activity/Task reports that document management awareness and controls (including Anomaly reports and resolutions). These reports become part of the IV&V Documentation Package.

Gartner consultant delivery teams are expert on using our integrated methodologies supported by our expansive research. Our approach is based on industry standards and best practices and is flexible enough to evolve and adapt to varying needs, changing priorities and diverse risk profiles encountered on projects. Rather than a recycled IV&V approach, we use findings and discussions with the agency as the basis for calibrating our IV&V services throughout the life of the project — working with each agency to evaluate, regularly reassess and redefine the IV&V services which are truly needed. Furthermore, Gartner is an independent and objective firm that does not sell hardware, software or system integration services. Our rigorous standards to ensure independence and objectivity is the cornerstone of our business, and when working with Gartner Consulting, Florida will know that its best interests are being protected by our associates. Our approach is comprehensive and flexible and positions us to participate in projects as committed IV&V team members.

Florida needs a vendor that understands how to perform IV&V services for health and human services projects, understands potentially harmful project pitfalls, and brings experience providing IV&V services on today’s most current modular HHS implementations. Our processes and methodologies are both proven and evolving. They are based on industry standards, best practices, and years of experience conducting IV&V for state projects. Each process is continually reviewed against established and recognized standards and the ever-changing needs of the IV&V industry. The importance of the IV&V services cannot be understated as Florida looks to enhance or support information system, policy, and regulatory changes. Our methodology focuses on activities that provide the most value based on specific project needs, such as identifying and prioritizing deficiencies, issues, and critical risks, while recommending realistic mitigation strategies. Our processes provide value and support Florida objectives. Our approach for Florida is illustrated in Exhibit 1.

While 18 years of history may not seem extensive, the individuals on our staff average 19 years of public sector and/or system implementation experience. During this 18-year time frame, every client we have worked with has achieved success. Following are the state governments we have assisted: Alaska Idaho Michigan Nevada Washington Arizona Kansas Minnesota Tennessee West Virginia Arkansas Kentucky Mississippi Texas Wisconsin Florida Louisiana Nebraska Virginia Independence is one of the distinguishing characteristics of our firm in comparison to other project management and quality assurance vendors. We have no formal or informal alliances or affiliations with any software or implementation vendors, and we have never received compensation from any of them. We are truly independent in fact and appearance. Our Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) approach is based upon the best practices we have used in managing numerous, largescale systems projects for our state and local government and higher education clients. Our approach goes beyond software development activities that are the focus of IV&V standards such as the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 1012, to include the entire project life cycle. A general description of the key IV&V activities we perform in each phase of a typical project’s life cycle are described below.
