Here at Booz Allen we just finished up our fiscal year. We put out our annual report for fiscal year 2008. There was a lot of information presented. Being an employee of the company, I took some of this information very seriously. A lot of the general information about the company is part of the message we try to get out about the company. I thought I would add how I have seen some of the message put into practice on day to day level.Some of the strengths of the company include functional expertise, in-depth domain knowledge, and lifelong professional development. Our team definitely has great domain knowledge. That is why we have won the contract to work for our specific client. I myself have served this client for almost 10 years straight. That is why the firm hired me.
Many companies talk about professional development. Here at Booz Allen this is more than just talk. I get money and time each year to get certification training. There is broad flexibility in this policy. For example, last year I spent a couple grand and a week learning about XML technology. This year I spent a week to get prepared to be Oracle certified. I also have started taking college classes to improve my web development skills.
Our mission here at Booz Allen is twofold. We solve problems for our clients. And we deliver results that endure. Those are some catchy phrases. But I can verify that the first one is very true on our project. The client has a lot of problems with the system they had developed for them. They also have new problems to achieve their own mission. These are the primary reasons why they need help from our firm. Time will tell whether the results we are delivering endure. I certainly hope they do.
