WHY AEROSPACE CONSULTANTS? Direct benefits accrue from the use of consultants versus hiring new employees-benefits that have a measurable positive impact on project costs, quality, and your project schedules. Aerospace Consulting Group, Inc. maintains high and demanding standards of excellence in the industry. Our consulting staff can be expected to meet and maintain these standards in every assignment undertaken on behalf of our clients. ACGI assures client satisfaction by providing: • Consultants with extensive experience in the domestic and international arena. ACGI consultants have participated in a wide-range of aerospace endeavors, resulting in a broad-based, up-to-date technology perspective applied to your projects. • Highly qualified and accredited consultants averaging over 20 years in the satellite systems engineering and operations business. ACGI consultants can hit-the-ground-running with solid current state-of-the-art, field-tested experience. Appropriate skills drawn from over 100 consultants on staff, ACGI collectively provides the breadth of skills, and depth of world-class engineers experienced in all phases of design of satellite systems, communications, command and control, and systems engineering. Our consultants are well-known throughout the industry and respected in their areas of expertise. They have been drawn from prestigious organizations, including NASA, Lockheed Martin Missles & Space, Comsat, Intelsat, HUGHES and SPAR Ltd. • Competitive cost which compares favorably against the direct and indirect costs (hiring, salary, vacation/holiday and pension benefits, social security and other employer paid taxes, health insurance, and termination costs) of their employee equivalents. Furthermore, consultant costs are incurred only for the actual duration of their direct participation in a target project. When the assignment is completed, the consulting engagement terminates, as does the cost associated with the consulting resource. Project managers, therefore, have, far greater flexibility and control over their schedules and budget. • Consultants who bring a unique and valuable broad-based perspective to your project. The diverse background of our consultants enables them to bring a broad perspective with a wealth of relevant experience to the process of project planning, design validation, and implementation. Being outside the political and cultural structure of your organization enables an objectivity in the application of their skills, and recommendations. • Consulting teams which can shorten the ramp-up time for the initiation of a new project. Assembling a new project team can proceed faster when using consultants who have worked together as an integrated team. The interactive synergy of the group is evidenced by greater efficiency and productivity. Our consultants also readily integrate with client staffs, by providing needed disciplines required by a given project. • Schedule flexibility which can be maintained through the temporary use of additional ACGI consulting resources, as needed. As the demands of the project vary over its life-cycle, consulting resources can easily be optimized to meet project demands. • Competent engineering performance delivery on projects. This is evidenced by continuing and repeat engagements, and letters of commendation from satisfied client companies.
