On 6 October 2000, the NMCI contract was awarded to Electronic Data Systems (EDS), now HP Enterprise Services (HP). Secretary of the Navy Gordon England summed up the Navy's IT Environment prior to the commencement of NMCI: “We basically had 28 separate commands budgeting, developing, licensing, and operating IT autonomously.
Electronic Data Systems (EDS) was founded in 1962 by H. Ross Perot, a graduate of the United States Naval Academy and a successful IBM salesman who first-hand observed how inefficiently IBM's customers typically were using their expensive systems. Somewhat to IBM's chagrin, since the company wanted to sell as many computers as possible, Perot ...
v. t. e. The Software Engineering Body of Knowledge ( SWEBOK ( / ˈswiːˌbɒk / SWEE-bok )) refers to the collective knowledge, skills, techniques, methodologies, best practices, and experiences accumulated within the field of software engineering over time. A baseline for this body of knowledge is presented in the Guide to the Software ...
Software engineering is an engineering approach to software development. [1] [2] [3] A practitioner, a software engineer, applies the engineering design process to develop software. The terms programmer and coder overlap software engineer, but they imply only the construction aspect of typical software engineer workload.
A software design description (a.k.a. software design document or SDD; just design document; also Software Design Specification) is a representation of a software design that is to be used for recording design information, addressing various design concerns, and communicating that information to the design’s stakeholders.

Requirements traceability is a sub-discipline of requirements management within software development and systems engineering.Traceability as a general term is defined by the IEEE Systems and Software Engineering Vocabulary as (1) the degree to which a relationship can be established between two or more products of the development process, especially products having a predecessor-successor or ...
SADT basis element. Structured analysis and design technique ( SADT) is a systems engineering and software engineering methodology for describing systems as a hierarchy of functions. SADT is a structured analysis modelling language, which uses two types of diagrams: activity models and data models. It was developed in the late 1960s by Douglas ...
Software development. In software engineering, software configuration management ( SCM or S/W CM; also expanded as source configuration management process and software change and configuration management [1]) is the task of tracking and controlling changes in the software, part of the larger cross-disciplinary field of configuration management.
