Michael Shomberg, Vice President for PRICE Systems added that “This Air Force certification is an important third party validation of TruePlanning’s and PES’ quality. Its a testament to the development and quality assurance processes we employ. Our commitment to key agile practices such as, Test Driven Development, subjects TruePlanning to over 280,000 tests 6 times a day. And most recently, we have added processes that insure compliance with the U.S. Government Configuration Baseline (USGCB).?
The USGCB mandate, issued by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), requires federal agencies to standardize desktop configurations to meet USGCB standards. The USGCB is designed to provide a single, standard, enterprise-wide, managed environment for desktops and laptops running Windows XP, Windows Vista, and Windows 7. Federal government contractor systems that interface with federal government systems are also subject to USGCB requirements. (http://www.microsoft.com/industry/government/solutions/fdcc/).
