Assessment Services

 

In the Department of Defense and industry, planners and executives must make decisions regarding complex problems, concepts, or plans. Frequently, the ramifications of a decision may not be entirely known or understood at the time of the decision. With this in mind, CDM Technologies, Inc. created the Assessment Services division, composed of analysts with years of experience and training in a variety of technical fields, to bridge the gap between concepts and implications through in-depth assessments and analysis.

 

CDM has been delivering intelligent decision-support technology to government and industry since 1994. Specializing in developing successful software solutions in the areas of operation, transportation, and logistics planning as well as data quality and validation, CDM brings extensive domain knowledge as well as applicable software tools to aid each assessment effort. We have harnessed our company's software design capabilities and created the Assessment Toolkit, a set of modeling- and assessment-specific software tools, to address our assessment needs. These, along with our existing decision-support systems, arm our analysts with the tools necessary to rapidly complete a comprehensive large-scale assessment effort.

 

CDM's Assessment Services maintains the following set of principles designed to produce useful assessments:

• Follow a "bottom-up" methodology.
• Focus on a realistic and feasible level of detail, not necessarily optimization.
• Use tools and processes that are repeatable and predictable.
• Conduct any assessment in such a manner that the approach is as important as the findings (i.e., it's not just the answer; it's how you get the answer).

 

Our expert team has proven abilities in providing durable, useful assessment results and findings that meet our customers' needs. Contact us to learn more about our Assessment Services division.
