SMALL BUSINESS JOINT VENTURE · INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY & DoD
Two experienced firms.
One accountable team.
ICES-AP JV pairs enterprise architecture and digital engineering with agile software delivery and program governance. Federal modernization usually buys those halves separately, and the seam between them is where programs fail. We put both under one contract.

CAPABILITIES
Enterprise architecture and delivery, under one contract.
Delivering in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense means designing inside a security boundary that shapes every release. ICES-AP pairs architecture and engineering rigor with a delivery practice built for that constraint, not adapted to it.
INTELLIGENCE CONSULTING ENTERPRISE SOLUTIONS
Architecture built for the mission first.
ICES works at the front of a program: architecture, requirements, and the modeling discipline that determines if what’s being built is the right thing.
ARIEL PARTNERS
Delivery built to hold the line.
Ariel Partners works at the delivery end: agile software, DevSecOps, cloud, and the governance that keeps a large effort on schedule.
THE JOINT VENTURE
Two small businesses, complementary strengths, one contract.
ICES-AP JV is a joint venture between Intelligence Consulting Enterprise Solutions, Inc. (ICES), a Veteran-Owned Small Business, and Savant Financial Technologies, Inc. d/b/a Ariel Partners, an NWBOC-certified Woman-Owned Small Business. Ariel Partners is the managing member.
VETERAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS
Intelligence Consulting Enterprise Solutions
FOUNDED ON IC AND DOD ARCHITECTURE
Enterprise architecture, data analytics, and digital engineering for the Intelligence Community and Department of Defense, with deep grounding in tasking, processing, exploitation, and dissemination systems.
NWBOC-CERTIFIED WOMAN-OWNED SMALL BUSINESS
Ariel Partners
ISO 9001 · ISO 20000 · ISO 27001 · CMMI · NIST 800-171
Agile software delivery, DevSecOps, and cloud modernization for large-scale federal programs, with the program governance that keeps a complex, multi-year delivery effort on schedule and under control.
CAPABILITIES
Modernization inside the security boundary.
Delivering in the Intelligence Community and the Department of Defense is a different problem than delivering elsewhere. The security boundary shapes every design decision and every release. ICES-AP is built for that constraint set, not adapted to it.
Enterprise Architecture
Current-state and target-state architecture an acquisition can actually be built on, with a migration path from legacy toward open architecture.
LED BY ICES
Digital Engineering and MBSE
Model-based systems engineering with an objective way to measure whether the models are doing their job.
LED BY ICES
Systems Engineering and Integration
Full lifecycle coverage from concept definition through transition, sustainment, and disposal.
LED BY ICES
Data Analytics
Analytics tied to the architecture that produces the data, rather than bolted on after the fact.
JOINT CAPABILITY
Agile Delivery and DevSecOps
Working software on a predictable cadence, with compliance evidence produced as a byproduct of delivery.
LED BY ARIEL PARTNERS
Cloud Modernization
Replacing what sits underneath a system while the system stays in service. Continuity as a design constraint.

WHAT WE BRING
Three things that exist before the first task order.
ICES Architecture Framework
An enterprise-level framework drawing on OMB FEAF, the NIST Cloud Computing Reference Architecture, DoDAF, the Intelligence Community’s JARM extensions, TOGAF, and Zachman.
ICES Architecture Maturity Model ©
A standards-based way to assess architecture maturity across three capability areas: Completeness, Utilization, and Results, with an objective read on improvement over time.
Seatbelt for Jira
A governance tool that enforces data integrity across a Jira instance and makes program reporting something you can trust when it reaches a decision maker.
CONTRACTING
Tell us the requirement.
We’ll tell you the fastest path to award.
Federal modernization work rarely fits neatly under one contract vehicle. If you’re scoping a requirement and aren’t sure which of our positions is the right fit, that’s a conversation worth having before the solicitation goes out.
