With a constituency of more than 23 million veterans, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) plays an enormous role in our federal government by providing health care, financial assistance, education and training, and burial benefits to the men and women who have faithfully served in our armed forces. With offices and hospitals across the U.S., the VA faces numerous challenges in providing accurate information, adequate health care and valuable benefits to its constituents. At Aquilent, we take great pride in being able to serve our veterans by assisting the VA in using leading-edge information technology and business strategies to provide world-class services and benefits.

With more than 30 years of experience serving the federal government, we understand the unique challenges and pressures—internal and external—the VA faces in maximizing new technology investments. Aquilent has established a track record of success in the VA community by using proven strategies and best practices to conduct business process analysis and re-engineering; lead the integration of enterprise-wide systems; deploy data warehouses for business intelligence; and develop health care web portals, as well as acquisition, contracting, and finance systems.

Our solutions are designed to create efficiencies, foster collaboration, establish transparency, and provide excellent service to veterans. From creating internal business applications to building veteran-facing health care portals, we help the VA:

• Realize significant cost savings by reducing inefficiencies, establishing standards, and eliminating redundancies
• Protect and maintain critical data for uninterrupted operation in the event of disasters or system failures
• Through automation and web-based systems, improve processes for benefits registration, enrollment, and eligibility determination
