Scientific and Technical Research

Entering a new line of business? Need to catch up on the current state-of-the-art technology in your field? Our researchers can perform in-depth literature reviews covering content in various forms ranging from wiki pages to peer-reviewed journals. Let our team survey the topic for you and provide a comprehensive review of relevant material. Going beyond simple search engine queries, we use commercial databases with extensive technical archives. We are also able to provide research in several foreign languages so that we can help you go beyond simple English summaries and abstracts and see what researchers really have to say.

Public Profiles

Curious about what information is available publicly about your organization? Interested in doing business with a new company but need help with your due diligence? Sceptre researchers are skilled at collecting publicly-available information on companies, agencies, and key personnel. Many employers and potential business partners are surprised to learn details contained in public records and social media postings. We help you be prepared by informing you on what information is available, including corporate financial observables, previous contract and procurement observables, as well as social media profiles of organizations and personnel.

Data Analysis

Need help making sense of your Big Data problem? Need help finding the Big Data input to satisfy an existing need? Our experienced data analysts and data scientist can help you tackle the problem of making sound business decisions using large volumes of information. We can help you discover and focus on key relationships hidden within the data.

Not all large volume data problems require the full "Big Data" treatment. Not every analysis requires new enterprise-scale solutions. Many business needs can still be met with a few well crafted spreadsheet macros. Our team of skilled analysts and engineers have experience with the full life-cycle of software development. This includes the project inception and requirements gathering stages. Some problems require a solution of dedicated server clusters where others can be addressed with simple desktop software. Our team works with yours to determine what the appropriate solution is within the context of budget, schedule, and size of your data.

Software Engineering

Our experience with full life-cycle development continues after the software implementation stage as we bring our experience integrating solutions in challenging environments. This includes supporting the process of certification and accreditation for Federal IT systems. Our team knows how to design, implement, and fully document secure systems that meet the guidelines of NIST SP 800-37. Our software is designed and written from the beginning to be compliant with the risk management framework.
