CSSI Awarded Contract to Maintain and
Enhance
Naval Reserve Web Site
Work to be Performed in New Orleans and Washington, DC
CSSI, Inc. of Washington, DC, announced today that it has been chosen
to provide engineering and technical support for the Naval Reserve Web
Site, which the company helped design last year. The General Services
Administration (GSA) contract is worth $250,000 in the first year and
$1.2 million if all
options are exercised.
The Naval Reserve Web Site (http://reserves.navy.mil) currently centralizes and links more than 3000 different organizations and 680 geographically dispersed Web sites related to the U.S. Naval Reserve. The site provides easily accessible content and information to Naval Reservists worldwide.
“This new contract expands on the previous work we’ve done, and continue to do, for the Naval Reserves, through the Space and Naval Warfare Systems Command (SPAWAR),” said John Markey, Director of Information Management at CSSI. “That work, which we began in 2002, has earned high praise from all involved, both for the quality of the work itself and for our focus on customer service.”
CSSI will maintain the web site’s staging environment, complete structural changes to the system, develop online surveys and establish “Communities of Interest” on the web portal “Navy Knowledge Online.”
Development of the Naval Reserve web site was at one time the largest Content Management Server (CMS) project ever undertaken by the Department of Defense. The original project team included SPAWAR, CSSI and Microsoft.
Under the new contract, CSSI will provide the Naval Reserves a centralized web content management solution. This will allow Naval Reservists in charge of individual Command web sites to create and maintain their sites without having a technical background in web site development or management. The technical and support work will be performed in New Orleans, and program management at CSSI’s national headquarters in Washington, DC.
