Greystones Products
For the Air National Guard, Greystones Group is currently creating a custom
publication tool based upon Greystones Group’s proprietary design that will
coordinate, standardize, and expedite the production of the annual Air
National Guard Modernization and Domestic Capabilities Prioritization books.
• Using the Agile approach, we provide solutions incorporating client
participation and feedback in the development process of successful apps
and software tools.
• Greystones’ approach mitigates the need for an Authority to Operate
(ATO) which many IT products require at great cost and time.
• Utilizing existing databases from various vendors and backbones we are
able to create collaborative tools with custom front ends that meet client
needs at costs well below the big providers.

Greystones Products (continued)
For NAVSEA, Greystones Group is creating contract management and metrics
tools based upon Greystones Group’s proprietary design. Greystones Group is
delivering NAVSEA04RP database re-engineering and optimization with
substantial efficiencies for the Navy.
• By incorporating an Agile approach Greystones is able to incorporate user
inputs throughout the design process.
• Currently the client is confronted with a system that is cumbersome and
slow and unable to provide the information needed.
• Greystones is providing a cleaner, more intuitive front end tool utilizing
existing software (Access) while leveraging multiple legacy databases.
• By leveraging existing data repositories Greystones is able to focus on
delivering an app that meets the clients needs within a reasonable
timeline and cost.

Greystones Products (cont’d)
Also for NAVSEA, Greystones Group has developed a CDRL Tracking App (CTA)
based upon Greystones Group’s proprietary design.
• Greystones proprietary CTA provides all the functionality clients require a
fraction of the cost of more bloated solutions costing more and requiring
extensive training.
• The architecture of the CTA mitigates the need for an ATO and is endorsed
by CIOs as an enterprise solution for its ease of integration with existing
systems.

Unique Combination of Capabilities
Greystones Capabilities
Examples
Software Development
Built and deployed an Enterprise CDRL tracking application using AGILE that is currently
supporting PEO IWS and operating within the NMCI environment. The system replaced
an aging Oracle-based system that incurred significant mandatory effort to maintain an
Authority to Operate (ATO), including patching, maintenance, security, and compliance
requirements. Greystones replacement system was designed using tools that are
already certified and accredited to operate. This design combined with a pioneering
architecture mitigates the need for the time-consuming and high-cost ATO process.
Data Management
Currently assisting PEO IWS by providing best in class, standardized data management
and tracking support services in an Integrated Data Environment using the Greystones
CDRL Tracking Application (CTA).
Training Support
Currently working with various Army schools to introduce cyberspace awareness
education to Army leaders. The education provides an overview of the Cyber domain,
networked systems and the Internet, cyber threats and vectors, and how to train
individuals on identifying personal vulnerabilities. As individual awareness levels
increase, the contract team will work with Army schools to incorporate planning
considerations for including cyberspace into tactical planning and operations.
Multi-National Interoperability
Assessment
Achieving effective integration of the capabilities necessary to enable ABCA Armies to
conduct the full Spectrum of coalition land operations successfully in a Joint and
Multinational environment, now and into the future.
