Capability for
Data Science & AI/ML

The Defense Logistics Agency’s Information Operations (J6) is modernizing mission support by automating transactional tasks through Robotic Process Automation (RPA). Chickasaw Federal supports this effort by developing and deploying RPA solutions that enhance operational performance, reduce manual workload, and accelerate service delivery across the agency. Through Agile methods, close stakeholder collaboration, and continuous improvement, our team drives measurable results in DLA’s automation journey.

Our Approach

Chickasaw Federal applied Agile development methodologies across the entire software development lifecycle to strengthen DLA’s enterprise change management and automation strategy. Using UiPath, our team led the design, build, testing, deployment, and support of automation solutions, while also providing cloud enablement, bot monitoring, performance reporting, and risk-managed governance. We facilitated hands-on training, refined process requirements, and engaged stakeholders to ensure adoption and long-term value.

Accomplishments

Chickasaw Federal’s support helped DLA stand up an RPA Center of Excellence (CoE), delivering a scalable governance model to manage and sustain automation across the enterprise. With our leadership, DLA became the first agency in the Department of Defense to deploy a fully unattended bot into production, setting a precedent for innovation across the federal landscape.

Key achievements include:

  • Stood up an RPA Center of Excellence to govern and sustain automation initiatives
  • Positioned DLA as a DoD automation pioneer with the first unattended bot in production
  • Established an RPA Development Factory to rapidly assess, design, build, and deploy automations
  • Delivered a transparent and traceable RPA lifecycle aligned to DLA governance and audit standards
  • Fostered high levels of user adoption and stakeholder engagement through an iterative approach
By the Numbers

Automation Use Cases

  • 181 automation use cases and 42 enhancements completed across DLA HQ and Major Subordinate Commands
  • 35 additional automations in active development
  • 20 use cases in backlog, queued for development
  • 168 automations running in an unattended capacity
  • 13 automations awaiting transition to unattended execution

Mission Impact

  • 560,387+ labor hours returned to the DLA workforce
  • 297,845+ hours projected to be returned annually

Capability for
Application Development & Support

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) relies on the FDA Adverse Event Reporting System (FAERS) to monitor the safety of marketed human drug and therapeutic biologic products. As the official system of record for both the Center for Drug Evaluation and Research (CDER) and the Center for Biologic Evaluation and Research (CBER), FAERS plays a critical role in post-marketing safety surveillance. Since 2010, Chickasaw Federal has supported every phase of the FAERS lifecycle, driving modernization efforts, maintaining system integrity, and ensuring regulatory compliance.

Our Approach

Chickasaw Federal has provided strategic and technical support across all FAERS modules, including the implementation of FAERS II in AWS GovCloud. Our team collaborates closely with FDA stakeholders to translate evolving regulatory requirements into actionable IT processes and workflows. Leveraging expertise in security management, release management, regulatory COTS implementation, and Agile methodologies, we’ve led continuous improvements across system performance and user satisfaction, delivering secure, scalable, and compliant solutions for over a decade.

Accomplishments

Through expert project execution and a commitment to service excellence, Chickasaw Federal has elevated the capabilities of the FAERS platform. Our agile development team has successfully delivered high-impact enhancements, met demanding EPLC standards, and maintained best-in-class service levels. Over the last decade, several significant milestones have been accomplished.  These include:

  • Retirement of several legacy, enterprise level applications through successful partnerships with customers, vendors and stakeholders
  • Implementation of multiple data-migrations through the development of data-mappings, data-sanitization and ingestion into new systems with minimal data-loss.
  • Implementation of multiple Integrations for FDA centers through implementation of newly developed applications for efficiency in safety surveillance processes.
  • Maintained long-term partnerships with multiple vendor teams to build subject matter expertise
  • Managed full cradle-to-grave product implementations from inception to decommissioning phases.
  • Implemented on-premise to AWS hosted infrastructure migrations
  • Implemented ‘transactional’ intake systems for data with multiple integrations and customizations for COTS tools
  • Implemented complex data-warehousing capabilities to comply with COTS limitations.
  • Implemented data-mining capabilities to support US Post-market drug safety surveillance
  • Full compliance with ever changing Federal regulations for drug safety.
  • Integrated multiple, complex FDA use-cases, which were spread across multiple platforms into a single platform for post-market drugs, premarket drugs, product quality, cosmetics and biologic products.
  • Adopted to multiple worldwide changes to data-standards for case submissions. (ICH E2b R2, E2B HL7 R3).
By the Numbers
  • 85% of tickets resolved within 3 days
  • FAERS II system implemented in AWS GovCloud
  • Supported full lifecycle for all FAERS modules since 2010
  • Implemented over 450 successful production deployments
  • 100+ bi-weekly scrums and sprints completed
  • Expertise in security management, release management, and regulatory COTS implementation
  • Continuous collaboration with FDA to align IT workflows with evolving regulatory standards
