Computer Science. Oceanit specializes in solving difficult IT problems ranging from small database and networking issues
<br />to large situational awareness databases for national clients. Oceanit's Information Insights (I/I) team specializes in
<br />developing mobile applications to enhance field data collection by improving the efficiency of field personnel and minimizing
<br />transcription errors. Solutions include the development of a mobile phone application for damage assessments for the State
<br />of Hawaii Civil Defense to land information management systems for Kamehameha Schools. The firm's solutions are often
<br />integrated with geospatial databases, including GIS systems to provide geospatial analyses using both industry standard
<br />and open source software. Within the I/I team are business process re -engineering experts to determine client requirements
<br />early in the project. The firm's unique expertise and total quality management approach enables the ability to scale and
<br />manage complex projects ranging from a large $15 million project to very small projects under $20,000.
<br />Project Management. Good project management monitors and coordinates all the key factors of communication,
<br />scheduling, cost, design, and quality assurance. The assigned Oceanit project manager will use a straightforward,
<br />computerized task order system that focuses on the key project issues and keeps track of all the details. Working with your
<br />staff, the project manager will develop specific task orders that define a discreet group of subtasks. Each task order will
<br />outline what is to be done, how it will be accomplished, the schedule and budget, the definition of the deliverable, and team
<br />member responsibilities. Oceanit's project manager will ensure that work progresses on schedule and within budget, and
<br />that appropriate actions are taken to keep the project progressing smoothly.
<br />Construction Management. Oceanit's construction management team is experienced in the administration of construction
<br />contracts for projects in Hawaii. Our construction specialists have the experience and practical skills to cultivate solid
<br />partnering relationships among the construction team. This expertise builds solid team consensus that leads to a well-
<br />defined project scope, streamlined procedures, and enhanced communication that minimizes owner and contractor risks.
<br />Services provided include contract document preparation, contract administration, and construction monitoring and
<br />inspection.
<br />Organizational Change Management. Organizational change management (OCM) is an integrated practice that guides
<br />an organization through fundamental and lasting change. OCM gauges people's ability to adapt to and implement change,
<br />helps prepare people for change, deal with problems and conflicts, and implement necessary steps. If needed, Oceanit can
<br />provide OCM services to assist in evaluating processes, identifying problems, and determining the need and extent for
<br />change. In its most basic form, OCM aligns expectations, builds and integrates teams, provides governance and structure
<br />to the change implementation, and helps staff with the transition through communication, training and other means.
<br />QUALITY ASSURANCE AND CONTROL
<br />Oceanit has set procedures for conducting project activities. The project manager will select the most appropriate project
<br />team in consultation with all engineering division managers. The team may consist of engineers from appropriate disciplines,
<br />hydrologists, planners, and geologists depending on project requirements. The relevant project personnel attend an internal
<br />kickoff meeting where they are briefed on procedures to be followed for quality assurance and quality control (QA/QC) for
<br />planning, field work, sampling, data analysis, designs, and the preparation of plans and specifications, community
<br />interactions and other project activities.
<br />Oceanit typically prepares a detailed QA/QC plan for each project and employs analysis methodologies commonly accepted
<br />by the engineering industry and approved by regulatory agencies to ensure acceptance and consistency in the data and
<br />designs produced. The Director of Engineering and two senior project managers from the fields of civil engineering,
<br />environmental science, and planning act as the final QA/QC team and check or proofread all deliverables for structure,
<br />technical accuracy and content, and then corrected as necessary prior to submittal to the client.
<br />Client meetings are conducted at least on a monthly basis and at project milestones, to present progress, get clear direction
<br />on future actions, to discuss issues that come up during the implementation and to ensure client satisfaction. Oceanit has
<br />a designated project manager and an alternate staff person who can be contacted by the client any time.
<br />CAPACITY TO ACCOMPLISH THE WORK IN THE REQUIRED TIME
<br />The Oceanit team has executed multiple contracts involving a wide range of civil, environmental and coastal planning,
<br />engineering and field services. Our goal is to provide quality professional services for government agencies, while protecting
<br />properties, ensuring the safety of residents and conserving and enhancing the infrastructure and natural environment of
<br />Hawaii. Each of our staff is experienced in all phases of projects including planning, report preparation, permit applications,
<br />generating plans, specifications and cost estimates, field work, environmental monitoring and public outreach. Oceanit's
<br />consulting team has been steadily growing, with recently added personnel experienced in project design, construction
