MCSI is an early software and professional systems engineering company that provides enterprise command and control (EC2) solutions for medium to large enterprise customers. MCSI applies systems science - computing, communications and automatic controls - to the design and development of enterprise decision and control systems, management systems similar in function to capabilities of provided by the bridge of large ships - where captain and officers gather to interactively analyze and manage in real-time the present tactical situation and, based on evolving strategy and objectives, to plot their future course. An EC2 system is a real-time management and value production control framework, sitting atop existing corporate and plant IT resources, that provides executive management with uniform performance metrics and consistent views - vertically along the accountability hierarchy, and horizontally along the supply chain. Such uniformity provides operational transparency, and is the basis for decision and control applications. Advanced controls are provided through the design and deployment of enterprise "viable system models" (VSM) and associated simulation tools. The benefits of these measurement, simulation and advanced controls include improved agility and transparency, improved measures of status, more accurate and timely decisions, and ease of correlation of parallel enterprise behaviors. These features and benefits allow more effective management of increasingly complex business processes, processes that require continuous improvements in the face of technology, product, and capital market changes. Technology planning, divisional and business unit coordination, investment planning, capital asset utilization, resource allocation, program scheduling, and forward planning and forecasting are all processes that benefit from unified enterprise operating systems, up and down and across the corporate command structure.
