The Aerospace & Defense Industry

Aerospace and Defense program managers must meet aggressive cost, quality, and schedule targets while staying compliant and managing globally distributed project teams spanning multiple organizations. While LEAN, Six Sigma and other process optimization initiatives drive continual process improvement on the factory floor, the challenges associated with cross-firewall communication and data management can severely impact program success.

Global outsourcing, frequent mergers and acquisitions, complex I.T. infrastructures, regulatory burdens such as ITAR, and government data exchange mandates such as CITIS are significant obstacles to seamless program execution. Originally conceived as a DARPA-funded initiative within Lockheed Martin in the late 1990's, the NexPrise WebSpace Platform was specifically developed to support secure, collaborative, A&D extranets. WebSpace can be configured and deployed to support early-stage programs in a matter of hours, later scaling to hundreds of users around the world upon final contract award. Nothing is better suited to sustaining strategic collaborative relationships with customers, suppliers and partners.

We treat your data like our own.

When working in the Aerospace and Defense industry you can't afford to make even the smallest mistake. One miscommunication could waste millions of dollars, cost lives, and/or jeopardize national security.

That's why companies like GE Aviation, Pratt & Whitney Rocketdyne, Bell Helicopter and Sikorsky trust their global collaboration needs to NexPrise. The NexPrise WebSpace Platform can be accessed as a hosted service from a state-of-the-art SAS-70 certified data center, or can be licensed for installation on your own hardware-you choose. Either way, the platform offers an unblemished security record, flexible administration model and low cost of ownership. Better yet, an intuitive user interface insures new users become fully productive with little to no training.

We understand your business.

NexPrise has helped hundreds of aerospace and defense Programs setup Web-based Integrated Data Environments (IDE's) which meet strict ITAR security requirements. We also have deep experience in helping those same customers fulfill CITIS requirements (a government mandate for Web-based submittal of contract deliverables). Choose NexPrise, and you'll be gaining access to experienced advisors who understand your industry and offer valuable recommendations and rollout assistance.
