SEI 2009 Year in Review
Abstract
It has been a challenging year for government and industry organizations worldwide. With the slowing economy, organizations faced difficult decisions on products, revenues, and staffing. At the Software Engineering Institute, we were not immune to the economic pressures. Although we had a successful year, we empathized with many of our partners and customers as they worked diligently to maintain a competitive stance in the marketplace. How did the SEI remain successful in the economic climate? We stayed true to our main mission of assisting the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) and other key stakeholders on their software challenges. Management, technical staff, and administrative staff focused on maintaining and enhancing our long-term competencies in software assurance, systems-of-systems architecture development, software engineering, and software-reliant acquisition to address the DoD customer gaps and needs. We also worked closely with our industry stakeholders to ensure that the best practices, technologies, and tools developed could be adopted in their organizations strategically, yet economically. The SEI also began a renewed emphasis on research that will enable us to expand our legacy of network and systems survivability work. With an increased focus on the cyber environment and related technologies, the SEI will be uniquely positioned to help organizations worldwide address security and survivability, workforce development, defensive operations, cyber intelligence, and policies and plans.
