Wyle Launches New Information Systems Unit to Support Federal Customers

In an effort to provide enterprise solutions to federal customers, Wyle (News - Alert), a privately held company, offering high-tech aerospace engineering and information technology services to the federal government, has established a new information systems solutions unit.

Wyle has been offering high-tech aerospace engineering and information technology services to the federal government on long-term support contracts. In addition it also offers test and evaluation of aircraft, weapon systems, networks, and other government assets; and other engineering services to the aerospace, defense, and nuclear power industries.

According to Wyle, the new information systems solutions unit created will leverage the company’s technology services as well as focus technical resources on direct support those customers that are in the Federal information technology field.

Tom Anderson, president of Wyle's Information Systems Group, said in a statement, "We now provide professional services across a broad customer base with 'solutions' center of excellence that serves as incubators for innovative, go-to-market value-add solutions."

The company’s new solutions division within the Information Systems Group aims at providing capabilities to report, visualize and analyze enterprise information, at the right time, to the right person, in the right context.

According to Wyle, the new information systems solutions unit is focused on developing market differentiated solutions employing mature and leading-edge technologies that are enabled by innovative ideas.

In addition, the Wyle Information Systems Group helps in meeting the mission-critical, performance-driven demands of its clients. Currently, it is working on more than 100 contracts with defense, civilian, and scientific agencies.

Wyle has deployed an enterprise business intelligence solution at the Office of Naval Research. The business intelligence solution deploys an agile design methodology to integrate Oracle (News - Alert) eBusiness Suite and the U.S. Navy General Ledger data. 

According to Wyle, the company’s team has deployed nine dashboards totaling 175 reports in 11 months.

In addition, Wyle has also deployed a cyber security situational awareness solution at DARPA. This solution integrated four disparate source systems to provide a single view of deployed systems security vulnerability.

Even though technology has served as an enabler of organizational objectives, it has hardly ever been implemented with an overarching strategy to improve productivity, cope with threats, or benefit from operational efficiencies. Consequently, synchronization and utilization of disparate data sources has hampered mission effectiveness and created security vulnerabilities, says Rick White, CTO of Wyle's Information Systems Group, in a statement.

Anderson added, "We work in partnership with our vendors to deliver solutions focused on enterprise, cybersecurity and business solutions that enable our client's organizational business strategy."
