A secure, compliant cloud platform for IT innovation

The need for mission-focused innovation in government has never been greater, and the promise of modern technology has never been more in reach. Yet, efficiently embracing emerging cloud technologies and developing necessary solutions at speed and scale remains a real and persistent challenge.

Too often, our clients face internal technology landscapes that, by necessity, were never holistically designed for rapid innovation. Despite ongoing modernizations, forward-leaning work can be hindered by a maze of legacy systems patched together over decades in response to ever-changing mandates. The added complexity of compliance in highly regulated environments can make “failing fast and forward” too risky to fully embrace within agency confines. These realities result in costly, time-consuming development delays that strain developer morale while keeping agencies from realizing the full benefit of modern solutions. SmartBase (Smart Booz Allen Solutioning Environment) cuts to the heart of these challenges.

SmartBase: Modern, Isolated Testing and Development Environment

As an end-to-end, off-the-shelf, isolated landing zone for pre-production development and testing, SmartBase can be precisely configured to the needs of a specific mission within days or weeks as opposed to the many months required by traditional solutions in this space.

SmartBase Features:

SmartBase is configured in AWS GovCloud—outside of agency network boundaries. Leveraging the AWS Landing Zone Accelerator and tailored by Booz Allen to unique mission needs, SmartBase provides:

NIST-compliant cloud environments
The ability to test functionality, security, and performance in a sequestered cloud environment
Configurable controls to simulate agency-specific production conditions
Access to Booz Allen’s SmartFactory pipelines, which leverage proven, accredited patterns to empower building solutions on Day One

SmartBase Benefits

Flexibilty

SmartBase provides access to a full range of AWS-native technology services and solutions with minimal friction, reducing time and extending the potential for innovation.

Speed

Pre-configured AWS CloudFormation templates allow for client environments to be spun up quickly so agencies can test concepts, develop code, and deliver mission impact faster, shaving weeks to months off traditional timelines.

Reduced Overhead

Operated as a managed service by the SmartBase operations team, our environment can remove the administrative and operational burden from vital agency projects, reducing costs, effort, and risk while accelerating innovation.

Automation

Utilizing AWS CloudFormation, CodeCommit, automated vulnerability scanning, and more, our pre-assembled catalog of features and services can be quickly deployed as infrastructure-as-code, reducing costly manual processes and bottlenecks while enabling consistency.

Security

Compliance and security baseline foundations provided by AWS can be quickly configured by Booz Allen's expert technologists to meet unique agency requirements or specific NIST standards for any mission.

Enhanced Cloud Governance

SmartBase ensures consistency of operations and complete separation of data across multiple tenants, ensuring privacy through robust access management.

Resilience

SmartBase offers multiple availability zones within and across regions for layer upon layer of failover resiliency for missions that cannot go down and cannot be compromised.

Reduce Complexity and Speed Time to Value

Whether you’re working to meet new mandates, to evolve with changing conditions, or to test innovative new approaches to achieving mission outcomes, Booz Allen’s SmartBase can help you safely reduce complexity and speed time to value.
