THE OSI DIFFERENCE

How can we add value, every step of the way, as we deliver building blocks, components, and complete solutions to our research and operational customers? That's the challenge that OSI engineers accept every day on the job. OSI recognizes that the better we perform on the delivery of our critical mission solutions, the more likely our customers will produce Research Breakthroughs, Commercial Successes, and Actionable Intelligence.

The Professional Challenge

In support of organization consisting of dozens, hundreds, or thousand of people working for the production of Actionable Intelligence, the following model depicts the different layers in the complete pyramid where OSI engineers bring their technical expertise and daily value to the process.

OSI engineers are responsible for helping both develop the components (applications, systems, etc.) that make up the different Layers as well as their integration and operations with:

• Adjacent Layers
  
• Analytics and Infrastructure toolsets
  
• Management, Security, Policy compliance applications and organizational processes
  

Raw Data Ingest and Collection (DATA Layer)

Collecting, Ingesting, Storing, Managing and processing the RAW data acquired and brought into the system. This includes using DSP based systems and applications, Cloud and grid computing techniques for distributed storage and management, realtime data distributed systems for synchronous and asynchronous sources of data.

Information Management and Promotion (Meta data) (INFORMATION Layer)

The processing, correlation, and grooming of raw data creating new meta-data artifacts, promoted to the operations, research, and compliance enforcement branches of the organizations.

Business and Work Flow Layer (BUSINESS LAYER)

Using the Business and Work Flow models for the management of complex processes involving the Analyst/Researcher and the INFORMATION and DATA Layers.

Knowledge Layer (KNOWLEDGE LAYER)

The Analysts, Operational Engineers, and the Researchers utilize Analytics, Reporting Systems, Research tools and datasets, Academic Finding, and their own research and value enhance information to strive for breakthroughs.

Discovery, Breakthrough, Actionable Intelligence (DISCOVERY Pinnacle)

Federal and Medical Community Customers. Discovering new information that assists in the research efforts to end disease and create better medicine including pharmaceuticals.

Intelligence Community Actionable Intelligence in support of National Security.

Commercial Customers Assist in creating better products and services for the corporation's market place.
