• Digital Globe used Sequoia Combine as a force multiplier as they delivered software to the NGA over the life of a 3-year contract.
• Combine allowed Digital Globe to “build low & deliver high” which maximized labor cost savings for both Digital Globe and NGA by utilizing 25 uncleared & only 5 cleared resources, opposed to 30 fully cleared resources.
• The average difference in salary for a cleared & uncleared resource is 20%, which resulted in significant cost savings for Digital Globe.
• Building low reduced the NGA facilities and seating requirements which resulted in less people having access to classified networks and ultimately improving the NGA’s overall security posture.
