Acquisition Support
Level 4 has experience supporting all aspects of large, complex information technology acquisitions from feasibility through on-going project change management. Examples of acquisitions we have supported include five taxation system modernization projects ($1B total value); three IV-D (child support) system modernization projects ($1.25B total); five IV-A (welfare) system modernization projects ($3B total). Our support is generally centered on:
-
Feasibility studies (cost estimates, benefit estimates, alternative analysis);
-
Development of RFPs with an emphasis on the cost volume, terms and conditions, and evaluation criteria;
-
Evaluation support with an emphasis on cost realism and reasonableness, risk analysis, and negotiation support;
-
On-going oversight with an emphasis on change management, risk management, earned value/performance tracking, integrated project management, and independent verification and validation (IV&V); and
-
Transition support with an emphasis on transition planning, transition services acquisition, transition risk management, and alternative analysis.
