For your IT team:
A collaborative core focused on action not faction.

Altus experts are broadly knowledgeable across a wide array of hardware and systems spanning:
networks, software delivery, secure authentication, access, and more.
How we work:
Compliance policies and audit artifacts always included.
Our founder recently quipped: “CMMC is not a point solution, it’s a lifestyle.”
We’re here to help you acclimate to your new compliance routine as your constant coach and partner.
Whether your IT org is well-versed with frameworks for NIST, ITAR, SOX, GDPR and more, or you’re now aiming squarely at compliance as final CMMC rules bite with the new federal fiscal year, the Altus team is ready to fit wherever you need.
Ready as a flexible partner for your IT team, Altus experts incorporate your compliance requirements into every project and deliverable. We’ll help you manage your networks and IT resources to meet new regulatory mandates too.
Here are a few examples:
VPN System Selection and Install (NIST)
To keep up with an ever-escalating threat landscape, most government contractors are broadening their use of VPNs especially for project and hybrid sites. For many IT departments, this upgrade includes selecting new network hardware, installation and rollout, plus proliferating new clients, protocols, and policies for all end points.
Though VPN upgrades are not a significant technical challenge, they do require careful management for many tasks and devices, and active support for users in various locations.
The Altus team is ready to partner with IT departments month by month as important “mid-tier” projects pop, effectively expanding capacity and accelerating timelines.

Cloud Migration Project Plan for HCM Upgrade (CMS)
Finding time and focus to plan for future migrations, integrations, and deployments is a challenging balancing act in the midst of daily IT tasks and routine surprises. It's not uncommon for important strategic initiatives to fall behind urgent tactical requests.
For IT leaders feeling the squeeze, helping with delivery instead of forecasting unsticks stressed projects and personnel, but comes at the cost of preparing for key initiatives — staffing, budgeting, scheduling, test planning and more.
Thanks to the Altus team's deep experience with infrastructure builds, app delivery, cloud migrations, database optimizations and more, we're a smart choice for offloading strategic projects and planning initiatives. Typical Altus upgrade strategies feature rapid stakeholder interviews to define success and milestones, and require little supervision for the creation of planning narratives and schedules.

Deltek Costpoint System Admin (ITAR)
Due to their specialized functionality and unique database structures, GovCon EPRs like Deltek Costpoint often require dedicated system administrators hard to staff and retain.
The most effective system admins are well versed in app features, integration and reporting options, multiple cloud environments, extensibility, and database tuning. They're also readily available to field user requests and emergencies.
Leveraging 20+ years as a leading hosting provider for GovCon ERPs (plus our unique experience as a SaaS provider for SMBs), Altus resources boast a range of technical experience making us a perfect match to administer critical business applications.

Our flexible approach turns the age-old question – “Build or Buy?” – on its head.
Today, as countless GovCons scramble for RPOs to create their CMMC blueprints,
when you partner with Altus to manage your IT tasks, you get structural compliance too.
With Altus (to stretch the analogy) you’re effectively buying the building
– from the foundations of IT policy to the heights of day-to-day delivery.
