Web 2.0 application enhances collaboration for the Intelligence
Community and Department of Defense
FAIRFAX, Va.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 12, 2009--
ManTech International Corporation (Nasdaq:MANT) announced that it
was awarded the follow-on effort for the Analytic Space (A-Space)
program from the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA) in the second
quarter. A-Space, a common, collaborative workspace for Intelligence
Community analysts, was developed by ManTech under a previous government
contract. The new, competitively awarded prime contract is valued at $11
million with a base year and two option years and includes Jive
Software, NavStar, and SAIC as teammates.
A-Space is a Director of National Intelligence and DIA initiative
designed to give analysts secure access to large and diverse amounts of
text, graphics, imagery and video intelligence spanning multiple
classifications with appropriate controls. The application, which is
similar to popular Web 2.0 social networking programs, now has over
10,000 users within the Intelligence Community (IC). Last year Time magazine
named A-Space one of the top 50 most innovative products of the year.
A-Space helps analysts connect with data and each other - faster, easier
and more efficiently. A-Space workspaces allow analysts to maintain
situational awareness, consolidate relevant data and analytic notes on
topics of interests, and share their insights and intuitions in a
trusted environment.
“A-Space is significantly improving the quality and timeliness of
analysis through access to relevant data and collaboration across the IC
and DoD,” said Larry Prior, President and Chief Operating Officer,
ManTech International Corporation. “The ability to quickly identify
experts across various disciplines and collaborate on topics of national
interest is enabling Decision Superiority unlike ever before.”
“ManTech recognizes the value of leveraging Web 2.0 technologies to
enhance collaboration across the IC and DoD and will continue to apply
new, innovative solutions to improve and expand A-Space,” added Michael
D. Kushin, Senior Vice President and Chief Technology Officer, ManTech
International Corporation.
