T-Rex Assists on Development of ERA System for NARA 

Reston, VA (August 2006) - In January 2006, T-Rex was asked to join the Lockheed Martin team to develop a winning bid to build the Electronic Records Archive (ERA) for the National Archives and Records Association (NARA).  T-Rex software engineers worked tirelessly with Lockheed Martin team to successfully win the 6 year, $308 million contract.  T-Rex is currently working on the production phase of the program, assisting with development, testing and providing critical database architecture support.  System development will occur over the next 6 years with the Initial Operation Capability slated for delivery in fall 2007.  Each year approximately 20% of the functionality will be added until Full Operating Capability is delivered in 2011. The first Critical Design Review will occur in late September. T-Rex will continue to support the ERA program throughout its entire system lifecycle.
