Indirect Rates - What Strategy is Right for your OrganizationUnanet
Managing Projects with Ever Changing Rates:
Government Contractors struggle to forecast the impact costs will have when you bid a multi-year project. We will discuss how to carefully manage the ebbs and flows of the costs in the organization and stay vigilant and be ready for unexpected expenses during the execution of your project.
What should be included in the Fringe pool?
FAR 31.205-6(m) outlines what should be in a fringe pool. The question is should you have a separate fringe and overhead pool or just put fringe in overhead? In the session we will discuss the pros and cons of each methodology. What are the effects of rates on winning new business and executing projects?
Have you selected the right General and Administrative (G&A) base for your company?
You may be struggling with how to pick the right G&A base for your organization or considering making a change. The discussion will be around the finer points of Total Cost Base, Value Added Base and Single Element Base. You will learn about the components of G&A and the base, the rules and where to locate them, and the pros and cons of base selection. In addition, topics related to the FAR, CAS, and DCAA will be discussed.
Other Topics:
Other discussion topics will be Actual vs Provisional vs Target/Planning rates, calculating rates from GL budgets, and even for an organization with no cost plus work, why they should look at using indirect rates to understand profitability on T&M and FP projects.

Winning the Budget Game: How to Get the Money You Need for IT Every TimeNicole Forsgren
Getting the resources your team needs is a matter of knowing just enough about finances to communicate what you want, and explaining how it will benefit the company. The trick is to speak their language. Learn the basics of budgeting, benchmarking, resource allocation, cost-benefit analysis, and communicating costs using tools like net present value. Understand the importance of your business cycle and the difference between cap-ex and op-ex. These are slides from a half-day course that also covers spreadsheet magic, like pivot tables and pivot charts.

SBC 2020-Left Brain Professionals: Developing Your First Cost & Price Proposal Robert E Jones
Contracts subject to the submission of cost or pricing data, (flexibly-priced contracts), require an acceptable basis of estimate including hours and dollars by line item, time-phased to match the project schedule, and sufficient detail to support the effort proposed. This course will dive into the complexity of those details and show you how to maximize profit and ensure regulatory compliance by preparing an adequate basis of estimate for every contract, regardless of type, when developing your cost and price proposal.
Complex organizations, those with more than one product or service offering, require advanced indirect rates to align related costs with their appropriate drivers. Creating advanced indirect rates requires a significant amount of planning and implementation. In this webinar we’ll discuss the common reasons for, and the mechanics of, creating multiple rates. A basic understanding of indirect rates either from work experience or by watching our previous webinar, Fundamentals of Indirect Rates, is recommended before joining this session.
Learning Objectives
1. Identify the need for advanced indirect rates
2. List the advantages of multiple indirect rates
3. Describe how multiple indirect rates are structured
4. List the requirements for multiple indirect rates

The Cybersecurity Maturity Model Certification (CMMC) continues to take shape, with the formation of the Accreditation Body (AB) and continued release of framework and contract guidance. The CMMC will be used as a unified standard for defense contractors to demonstrate cybersecurity program maturity and protection of CUI, and will ultimately require a third party assessment to achieve required certification. The DoD acknowledges that contractors of varying sizes struggle to maintain an appropriate cybersecurity posture and believes this new framework will help contractors implement effective cybersecurity controls tailored to the size and nature of their business and meet the DoD’s requirements.
In this webinar, Tom Tollerton, Managing Director of Cybersecurity & Privacy at DHG will discuss the latest developments around the framework, expectations in contracts in the coming months, and offer actionable recommendations for steps to prepare for potential requirements.

Project Forecasting from the Perspective of an EVMA and EIA-748Unanet
EIA-748 guidelines, as interpreted for major U.S. Government projects, require that project managers develop and maintain bottoms-up estimates of the cost and schedule outcomes of their projects. There is a requirement for a comprehensive bottoms-up forecast to be done at least annually. That is supported by a requirement for a monthly update to the forecast, including best-case, worst-case, and most-likely outcomes for the project estimated final total cost.
This webinar covers these requirements and common associated processes and methods for developing the forecasts.
Included in the discussion are the topics of risk and opportunities management and their relationship to the EVMS; especially focused on the development of the risk/opportunities informed forecasts.
Rather than the development of three potential outcomes for the project timeline, the schedule portion of the discussion focuses on building and maintaining an Integrated Master Schedule (IMS) that meets the Generally Accepted Scheduling Principles (GASP) and the use of that IMS in establishing the probability of meeting the end date based on Schedule Risk Analysis (SRA) techniques.
The discussion ends with the topic of independent evaluations of the forecast using the Independent Estimate-at-Complete (IEAC) analysis process.

Improve Your Outcomes on Cost Type ContractsUnanet
Join Unanet and Aronson LLC for an educational webinar as we look at the complex world of cost type government contracts.
Many government service contractors successfully enter the government market with relatively straightforward T&M (Labor Hour) contracts. Eventually, an opportunity to bid and perform larger and more complex cost reimbursement contracts will present itself. The skills required to manage T&M contracts differ markedly from the skills required to manage a cost type contract. While the statements of work may be very similar, the administrative requirements associated with managing a cost type contract greatly exceed those required for T&M work.
Managing cost type contracts is a sophisticated undertaking. The contractor must understand what a “cost” is, have an adequate accounting system, establish both direct and indirect budgets (and actively manage them), and with actual (not billing) rates.
Failure to comply with these requirements can have serious ramifications, including incurring a loss, a poor cash flow, inaccurate cost reporting and an inadequate accounting system, An understanding of your obligations is essential to mitigating your risks, maximizing your cost recovery and maintaining your bottom line — essentially the difference between recovering your costs making a profit or losing your shirt.
Learning Objectives:
• What an "adequate" accounting system must include
• Which costs can — and can't — be reimbursed
• How direct costs are reimbursed
• How indirect costs are reimbursed
• How to handle invoicing on cost-type contracts
• The "Paid-to Cost" rule
• The limitation of Cost-and-Funds clauses
• How to facilitate a cost type contract in an accounting system
In this webinar you will learn to improve your outcomes on cost type contracts.

Providing Globus Services to Users of JASMIN for Environmental Data AnalysisGlobus
JASMIN is the UK’s high-performance data analysis platform for environmental science, operated by STFC on behalf of the UK Natural Environment Research Council (NERC). In addition to its role in hosting the CEDA Archive (NERC’s long-term repository for climate, atmospheric science & Earth observation data in the UK), JASMIN provides a collaborative platform to a community of around 2,000 scientists in the UK and beyond, providing nearly 400 environmental science projects with working space, compute resources and tools to facilitate their work. High-performance data transfer into and out of JASMIN has always been a key feature, with many scientists bringing model outputs from supercomputers elsewhere in the UK, to analyse against observational or other model data in the CEDA Archive. A growing number of JASMIN users are now realising the benefits of using the Globus service to provide reliable and efficient data movement and other tasks in this and other contexts. Further use cases involve long-distance (intercontinental) transfers to and from JASMIN, and collecting results from a mobile atmospheric radar system, pushing data to JASMIN via a lightweight Globus deployment. We provide details of how Globus fits into our current infrastructure, our experience of the recent migration to GCSv5.4, and of our interest in developing use of the wider ecosystem of Globus services for the benefit of our user community.
Understanding Globus Data Transfers with NetSageGlobus
NetSage is an open privacy-aware network measurement, analysis, and visualization service designed to help end-users visualize and reason about large data transfers. NetSage traditionally has used a combination of passive measurements, including SNMP and flow data, as well as active measurements, mainly perfSONAR, to provide longitudinal network performance data visualization. It has been deployed by dozens of networks world wide, and is supported domestically by the Engagement and Performance Operations Center (EPOC), NSF #2328479. We have recently expanded the NetSage data sources to include logs for Globus data transfers, following the same privacy-preserving approach as for Flow data. Using the logs for the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC) as an example, this talk will walk through several different example use cases that NetSage can answer, including: Who is using Globus to share data with my institution, and what kind of performance are they able to achieve? How many transfers has Globus supported for us? Which sites are we sharing the most data with, and how is that changing over time? How is my site using Globus to move data internally, and what kind of performance do we see for those transfers? What percentage of data transfers at my institution used Globus, and how did the overall data transfer performance compare to the Globus users?
Listen to the keynote address and hear about the latest developments from Rachana Ananthakrishnan and Ian Foster who review the updates to the Globus Platform and Service, and the relevance of Globus to the scientific community as an automation platform to accelerate scientific discovery.

Enhancing Research Orchestration Capabilities at ORNL.pdfGlobus
Cross-facility research orchestration comes with ever-changing constraints regarding the availability and suitability of various compute and data resources. In short, a flexible data and processing fabric is needed to enable the dynamic redirection of data and compute tasks throughout the lifecycle of an experiment. In this talk, we illustrate how we easily leveraged Globus services to instrument the ACE research testbed at the Oak Ridge Leadership Computing Facility with flexible data and task orchestration capabilities.
In software engineering, the right architecture is essential for robust, scalable platforms. Wix has undergone a pivotal shift from event sourcing to a CRUD-based model for its microservices. This talk will chart the course of this pivotal journey.
Event sourcing, which records state changes as immutable events, provided robust auditing and "time travel" debugging for Wix Stores' microservices. Despite its benefits, the complexity it introduced in state management slowed development. Wix responded by adopting a simpler, unified CRUD model. This talk will explore the challenges of event sourcing and the advantages of Wix's new "CRUD on steroids" approach, which streamlines API integration and domain event management while preserving data integrity and system resilience.
Participants will gain valuable insights into Wix's strategies for ensuring atomicity in database updates and event production, as well as caching, materialization, and performance optimization techniques within a distributed system.
Join us to discover how Wix has mastered the art of balancing simplicity and extensibility, and learn how the re-adoption of the modest CRUD has turbocharged their development velocity, resilience, and scalability in a high-growth environment.

Climate Science Flows: Enabling Petabyte-Scale Climate Analysis with the Eart...Globus
The Earth System Grid Federation (ESGF) is a global network of data servers that archives and distributes the planet’s largest collection of Earth system model output for thousands of climate and environmental scientists worldwide. Many of these petabyte-scale data archives are located in proximity to large high-performance computing (HPC) or cloud computing resources, but the primary workflow for data users consists of transferring data, and applying computations on a different system. As a part of the ESGF 2.0 US project (funded by the United States Department of Energy Office of Science), we developed pre-defined data workflows, which can be run on-demand, capable of applying many data reduction and data analysis to the large ESGF data archives, transferring only the resultant analysis (ex. visualizations, smaller data files). In this talk, we will showcase a few of these workflows, highlighting how Globus Flows can be used for petabyte-scale climate analysis.
How to Position Your Globus Data Portal for Success Ten Good PracticesGlobus
Science gateways allow science and engineering communities to access shared data, software, computing services, and instruments. Science gateways have gained a lot of traction in the last twenty years, as evidenced by projects such as the Science Gateways Community Institute (SGCI) and the Center of Excellence on Science Gateways (SGX3) in the US, The Australian Research Data Commons (ARDC) and its platforms in Australia, and the projects around Virtual Research Environments in Europe. A few mature frameworks have evolved with their different strengths and foci and have been taken up by a larger community such as the Globus Data Portal, Hubzero, Tapis, and Galaxy. However, even when gateways are built on successful frameworks, they continue to face the challenges of ongoing maintenance costs and how to meet the ever-expanding needs of the community they serve with enhanced features. It is not uncommon that gateways with compelling use cases are nonetheless unable to get past the prototype phase and become a full production service, or if they do, they don't survive more than a couple of years. While there is no guaranteed pathway to success, it seems likely that for any gateway there is a need for a strong community and/or solid funding streams to create and sustain its success. With over twenty years of examples to draw from, this presentation goes into detail for ten factors common to successful and enduring gateways that effectively serve as best practices for any new or developing gateway.

Why React Native as a Strategic Advantage for Startup Innovation.pdfayushiqss
Do you know that React Native is being increasingly adopted by startups as well as big companies in the mobile app development industry? Big names like Facebook, Instagram, and Pinterest have already integrated this robust open-source framework.
In fact, according to a report by Statista, the number of React Native developers has been steadily increasing over the years, reaching an estimated 1.9 million by the end of 2024. This means that the demand for this framework in the job market has been growing making it a valuable skill.
But what makes React Native so popular for mobile application development? It offers excellent cross-platform capabilities among other benefits. This way, with React Native, developers can write code once and run it on both iOS and Android devices thus saving time and resources leading to shorter development cycles hence faster time-to-market for your app.
Let’s take the example of a startup, which wanted to release their app on both iOS and Android at once. Through the use of React Native they managed to create an app and bring it into the market within a very short period. This helped them gain an advantage over their competitors because they had access to a large user base who were able to generate revenue quickly for them.
