Aerospace and Defense Industry Practice

Despite an uncertain economy, the outlook for the U.S. aerospace and defense (A&D) industry remains relatively strong.  Given the size and breadth of the A&D industry and its importance to the global economy and national security, it remains one of the few U.S. industries with long-term demand growth.  

However, there is increasing scrutiny by businesses and government to ensure that A&D programs meet or exceed project objectives.  Programs that fail this scrutiny face financial, marketplace and personnel reduction consequences.  To remain successful and continue to grow, A&D companies must pass this scrutiny while managing rising costs and injecting innovation. 

Kalypso addresses these challenges by delivering a comprehensive set of capabilities in the areas of:

  • Product Innovation
    • Taking steps to transform innovation into a formal repeatable process
    • Centralizing and coordinating innovation decision-making
  • Product Development
    • Streamlining and promoting efficiency
    • Implementing formal metrics and collaboration processes
  • Technology Investment
    • Selection and deployment of best-in-class Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) applications
    • eLearning that links new skills with measurable improvements
  • Configuration Management
    • Evaluating configuration management as a lifecycle issue
    • Institutionalizing knowledge management

Kalypso's A&D industry team has the experience and proven track record to help drive sustainable results through innovation-centric solutions in the face of global pressures, low profit margins, and product portfolio inefficiencies.  Kalypso has helped clients improve profitability by streamlining and standardizing product development processes, reduce time to volume manufacturing, and accelerate fiscal and market growth by bringing innovative products and designs to market ahead of the competition.
