Rapid yet Robust 3rd Party Technology Assessments by Industry, for Industry

Something unusual yet important happened over the past month, but understandably only a select few took notice.  Boarhog LLC successfully completed a Boarhog Logic™ Phase 1 Candidate Technology Assessment (CTA) of an "extra rugged" and powerful server, for a reseller.  From the initial kickoff and handshake to the finished 700+ page assessment report took less than 90 days.  The team of experts was assembled, signed contracts, the representative physical network was built from a relevant functional specification, the Phase 1 assessment plan conceived, automated test software obtained and configured, and the physical integration assessment, the cybersecurity readiness assessment, and the performance assessments were performed against a relevant maritime domain environment.  The report was generated, peer reviewed, and delivered to the client.  Less than 90 days.  The Boarhog Logic™ Phase 1 CTA report revealed to the client how many chat users, emails and file transfers their new server will support before it fails to meet the relevant specification, and whether or not the server's ready as physically configured to be inserted into a production rack of equipment within the targeted environment, and the results of a meticulous evaluation of the guts by information assurance experts.  There's an army of server sales people out there telling the U.S. Navy why their box is better than the other guy's box.  One of them now has an independent, third party objective and relevant assessment to go along with their own slick sheets, and it cost them very little to have that done because it all came together and went away in less than 90 days... firm fixed price. Turn out the lights, shut the doors, shake hands... all done by industry, for industry.

What's the benefit for Navy C4I?  Boarhog Logic™ CTAs are intended to accelerate transition to a Net-Centric infrastructure.  That transition is grounded in a standards-based open architecture that will readily accommodate innovative technologies and will facilitate the retirement of legacy capabilities.  The Boarhog Logic™ CTAs don't cost the government a dime, they increase competition (expanding pool of engaged suppliers), they increase government awareness beyond slick sheets, and they promote Small Business (all contracts for the CTA just completed were with Small Businesses).  Less than 90 days.  More Boarhog Logic™ CTAs are in the planning stages, including on Solid State Devices as replacements for spinning media, and on Predictive Analytic software.

Boarhog LLC... skin in the game... pigs in the breakfast... sic semper ad pullos: thus always to chickens.
