Challenge
Solution
Benefit
Challenge
The NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education (OITE) required an enhanced system to manage and track the comprehensive training lifecycle of its trainees. The challenge involved migrating data from an internal trainee database, managing trainee issues, and improving the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the trainee management system.
Solution
Cygnus Consulting provided a comprehensive range of support services, including business requirements analysis, market research, and evaluation of commercial applications. The team developed high-quality questionnaires for requirements gathering, conducted in-depth market research to evaluate potential products, and utilized the CMMI framework to assess product and process maturity, ultimately narrowing down to a Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS) solution that was best suited for the NIH’s needs.
Benefit
As a result, the NIH OITE received a modernized trainee database system implementation plan that was designed to improve data management and tracking, provide tools for better collaboration and visibility, and facilitate the management of trainee profiles and programs. The system would not only improve operational efficiency but also provide superior service to the OITE community, with capabilities that included automated data analysis, reporting, and dashboards for management purposes.
