Strategic Technology Services

Hard problems require leading-edge technologies developed by specialized and highly skilled professionals. Members of this extremely small technology community can be found at Orbis. Our specialized team provides thought leadership that is successfully applied to a variety of Strategic Technology Services, including:

• Advanced Technology Pilot Development & Demonstrations: For highly specialized and complex systems where it is very difficult to find qualified industry contractors, Orbis can build a pilot project or demonstration effort to advance the state of the art of a given technology.
• Product Trade Studies: Many research and development (R&D) projects fail to properly assess the competition or the market needs before funding research and development programs. Orbis performs detailed industry trade studies and product analysis on competitor or complementary industry products to support product development and technology investment road maps.
• Portfolio Evaluation and Capability Assessments: Orbis can perform an independent assessment of a client’s overall technology portfolio to assess the capabilities of these technologies or products. The client is typically the leader of an R&D leadership team who desires an independent, expert opinion to shape their R&D requirements and product-placement strategy.
• Strategic Technology Planning & Investment Recommendations: Technology investments with the highest return on investment (ROI) benefit from independent and critical reviews of their portfolios. Orbis will evaluate the client technology investments in its R&D portfolio to provide the recommendations necessary for the client to establish technology investment strategies that empower them to be market leaders.
• Technology Valuations: Orbis provides proven technology financial models to help clients capitalize on their technology investments for licensing, third-party capitalization (spin-outs), or sale.
• Technology Trends & Forecasts: Many DoD and national security organizations require assessments of technologies and products that are not present in the open market. Orbis provides select reports on emerging technologies to address these shortfalls. The Semantic Technology Guide, Volume I:  Entity Extraction is our first report and is now available for purchase.
• Advanced Systems Architecture and Systems Engineering Support: Specialized military applications require technologists with specific backgrounds. Orbis provides systems architecture and systems engineering support for advanced systems development programs.
