Schafer’s contributions are focused in three major thrust areas:
Our Heritage
Created in 1972, Schafer Corporation began as a specialist in challenging and advanced technology development for
government and industry, focusing on directed energy and electro-optics. The strength of our reputation was built on
the technical excellence, dedication and teamwork of our personnel. These traits have been just as important as we have
grown and expanded into a more technologically diverse company.
Today, we also provide innovative engineering and technology to the military, intelligence, DHS, NASA, new commercial
space companies and other industries. We’re engaged in complex, high-level missions and programs, guiding efforts such
as development, modeling, simulation, communication and technology management.
Our personnel frequently lead assessment teams and studies for government clients because of their in-depth expertise
and independence of thought. They are known for providing effective and actionable recommendations to sponsors.
Schafer became an employee owned company in 1996, building to over 500 employees through organic growth and select
acquisitions. Today, it is a subsidiary of Metalmark Capital Partners. We continue to grow and expand our capabilities,
including information technology, cyber, robotics, network communication and emerging technologies.

is comprised of highly-motivated experts focused on
developing well-designed, usable software backed by hard-
core tech and engineering whose mission is to create high-
impact software solutions.
MOBILITY SOLUTIONS
Mobility
The main challenge for enterprises is to simply figure out how to
integrate mobile devices into their current business processes
and IT systems. Asynchrony helps companies define and create
the building blocks of their corporate mobile strategy. We then
develop custom apps that securely integrate with legacy systems
and business processes.
Software Development
Today’s technology and business environments change so fast that
solutions created by software projects can be obsolete by the time
they’re delivered. Asynchrony’s software development capabilities
are driven through ongoing customer involvement that spans
the entire project lifecycle. Utilizing agile software development
techniques, we continuously deliver working software throughout
the entire life of a project.
Architecture & Integration
Asynchrony takes an iterative approach to Enterprise Architecture,
prioritized by evolving business needs and technical requirements.
Instead of year-long project plans, weekly iterations allow
architecture to emerge through a series of small increments. This
approach results in usable architectural artifacts that are delivered
rapidly and frequently.

MOBILITY SOLUTIONS
Agile Transformation & Training
Asynchrony offers a comprehensive agile transformation program
that provides technical training, coaching and mentoring, and
supports the integration of the new methodology into the entire
Enterprise. Our program is based on over a decade of successful
agile software delivery supporting Enterprise (portfolio) level and
program (multi-team) level transformations in commercial, non-profit
and government organizations.
UX & Design
Asynchrony has a dedicated team of designers and front-end
engineers to ensure all delivered applications exceed customer
expectations. The team’s focus is to deliver a user experience (UX)
at a high-level of excellence to each and every project. In order
to accomplish this, the Asynchrony UX Team focuses primarily in
the areas of core competencies, human factors, agile process and
brand + marketing.
Tactical Collaboration
On-demand communication and access to pertinent information
is essential to both warfighters and civilian response teams,
even when at the network edge or off-grid. Asynchrony has been
architecting and developing tactical collaboration tools that meet
the Warfighters’ challenging networking and security requirements
for more than a decade.
