Consulting Services for the Education Community

FMS has delivered a wide variety of systems to the education community. Here are some recent examples that are making an impact on how data is managed, shared, and optimized for decision making:

Managing Course Content

The Defense Acquisition University is the education branch of the Department of Defense charged with training and providing continuing education for all branches of the US military.

FMS has created a competency requirements management web site for their instructors, students, and managers. The system ensures the training courses continue to cover the topics necessary for developing the careers of the students.

Case Study Competition for Female Entrepreneurs

The George Washington University School of Business wanted to create a case study competition and research website for female business owners to share their life experiences. Called the Hot Mommas Project, our web site is now the largest such public collection in the world.

Managing Interviews of College Applicants

Harvard College is the oldest and most competitive university in the country. Harvard provides a personal interview to each applicant through its alumni network. FMS created a desktop and web solution to manage the complex matching of candidates to interviewers, so each candidate is interviewed in a timely manner. Assignments are emailed, and a web site created to accept assignments and upload interview write-ups, while managers can review the status throughout the admissions interview season.

Understanding Education Issues at the Local Level

FMS president Luke Chung currently serves on the Fairfax County, Virginia Information Technology Policy Advisory Committee (ITPAC) representing the local school board. Having served several years on a business and community advisory board to the superintendent of Fairfax County schools, Luke was appointed to participate on this county level group to advise the Board of Supervisors.
