Unissant Awarded HUD Next Generation Management System Contract

Leading data firm will engineer NGMS “Data as a Service” platform using Oracle Exalogic and WebCenter

RESTON, VA, AUGUST 30th 2013 —  Unissant Inc. announced today that it has won a bid to work with the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) to develop and support the Next Generation Management System (NGMS), an initiative to integrate HUD Rental Housing Assistance programs.

The NGMS initiative seeks to transform financial and programmatic operations in support of HUD’s affordable housing mission, including risk and portfolio management, budgeting and forecasting, and portfolio and risk management.  Unissant will build the NGMS platform to initially support rental housing assistance programs within the Office of Public and Indian Housing.  HUD intends to expand NGMS to other programs in the future.

Unissant will build the NGMS platform using Oracle engineered systems, including Exalogic for high-performance data transaction processing and analytics, and a web portal based on Oracle’s WebCenter, to provide access to HUD headquarters and field offices, 2,000 public housing agencies, landlords, and 4.4 million tenant households.  Unissant will also leverage MicroStrategy software to deliver reporting and ad-hoc data analysis capabilities to HUD users.

“Unissant is excited about helping HUD turn its next-generation vision into a reality using the best technology on the market”, said Jehangir Unwalla, Executive Vice President at Unissant, “it’s a great fit; in addition to the strong enterprise data team and business process expertise we’re known for, it’s a natural for us in terms of culture, too.  We’re driven by innovation and thrive on defining the future”.

An Oracle Gold Partner and the only 8a company in the nation achieving “optimized” status by Oracle on Exadata and Exalogic, Unissant collaborated with Oracle to test and benchmark Oracle Exalytics for analytical processing utilizing a 48 billion row dataset.

Unissant is a Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) Level 3 compliant, SBA 8a, Small Disadvantaged Business (SDB) with a successful record as a government prime contractor with core capabilities in information management, data architecture, and analytics. An extensive record of performance implementing and supporting critical systems includes previous HUD projects, including the Real Estate Assessment Center (REAC).
