For the Air National Guard, Greystones Group is currently creating a custom publication tool based upon Greystones Group’s proprietary design that will coordinate, standardize, and expedite the production of the annual Air National Guard Modernization and Domestic Capabilities Prioritization books.• Using the Agile approach, we provide solutions incorporating client
participation and feedback in the development process of successful apps and software tools.
• Greystones’ approach mitigates the need for an Authority to Operate (ATO) which many IT products require at great cost and time.
• Utilizing existing databases from various vendors and backbones we are able to create collaborative tools with custom front ends that meet client needs at costs well below the big providers.

For NAVSEA, Greystones Group is creating contract management and metrics tools based upon Greystones Group’s proprietary design. Greystones Group is delivering NAVSEA04RP database re-engineering and optimization with substantial efficiencies for the Navy.
• By incorporating an Agile approach Greystones is able to incorporate user inputs throughout the design process.
• Currently the client is confronted with a system that is cumbersome and slow and unable to provide the information needed.
• Greystones is providing a cleaner, more intuitive front end tool utilizing existing software (Access) while leveraging multiple legacy databases.
• By leveraging existing data repositories Greystones is able to focus on delivering an app that meets the clients needs within a reasonable timeline and cost.

Also for NAVSEA, Greystones Group has developed a CDRL Tracking App (CTA) based upon Greystones Group’s proprietary design. • Greystones proprietary CTA provides all the functionality clients require a
fraction of the cost of more bloated solutions costing more and requiring extensive training.
• The architecture of the CTA mitigates the need for an ATO and is endorsed by CIOs as an enterprise solution for its ease of integration with existing systems.

Unique Combination of Capabilities

Greystones Capabilities Examples
Software Development Built and deployed an Enterprise CDRL tracking application using AGILE that is currently supporting PEO IWS and operating within the NMCI environment. The system replaced an aging Oracle-based system that incurred significant mandatory effort to maintain an Authority to Operate (ATO), including patching, maintenance, security, and compliance requirements. Greystones replacement system was designed using tools that are already certified and accredited to operate. This design combined with a pioneering architecture mitigates the need for the time-consuming and high-cost ATO process.
Data Management Currently assisting PEO IWS by providing best in class, standardized data management and tracking support services in an Integrated Data Environment using the Greystones CDRL Tracking Application (CTA).
Training Support Currently working with various Army schools to introduce cyberspace awareness education to Army leaders. The education provides an overview of the Cyber domain, networked systems and the Internet, cyber threats and vectors, and how to train individuals on identifying personal vulnerabilities. As individual awareness levels increase, the contract team will work with Army schools to incorporate planning considerations for including cyberspace into tactical planning and operations.
Multi-National Interoperability Assessment
Achieving effective integration of the capabilities necessary to enable ABCA Armies to conduct the full Spectrum of coalition land operations successfully in a Joint and Multinational environment, now and into the future.
