21 C P.O. Box 1068 Huntsville, Alabama (256) FAX (256) DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES with headquarters in Huntsville, Alabama, was founded in November 1981 by Francisco J. Collazo its Chief Executive Officer. COLSA provides engineering, information technology and technical services to the Federal government primarily the Department of Defense and the public sector. Our success, characterized by extraordinary business growth, reflects our ability to provide quality services on time and within budget. It also stems from a clear vision of our mission statement. COLSA is a systems developer and integrator, providing a range of analytic, development, and integration services. Systems Integration: Focuses on interface engineering of complex legacy systems with new generation systems. The interface allows the legacy systems to operate in the open graphical interface systems. Training and operations are both enhances through the interface. We specialize in reengineering legacy systems to optimize their efficiency and to allow them to work in harmony with leading generation technology. Software Integration: Uses defined repeatable processes and provides complete life cycle software development including complex modeling and simulation software. We include a full range of capabilities for independent verification and validation of software. Operations Support: Spans the areas of systems scheduling, accounting, cataloging, archival, and retrieval services. Hotline support and media tracking are available for all systems. Maintenance Support: Encompasses expertise in preventive and corrective maintenance; system, WAN and LAN troubleshooting and isolation; system installation and integration. Management activities including tracking, response, and resolution of actions. Systems Administration: Experience includes advanced systems administration of multiple operating systems and software, integration and interoperability of complex systems and components within a heterogeneous environment, and full network management and integration.
