Sigma Services

"In speaking of software, one can say 'if you cannot describe it, you cannot program it.'  We can say the same of facilities.  You may have a master plan, and you may have designs, but neither plans nor designs will meet the needs of the end user unless an intimate understanding of the organization and operational requirements connects them to the end user’s needs. Sigma links the plan to the design by analyzing the organization and missions of the end user and tying those to military criteria and standards for the specific end user.  Clients usually understand what is wrong with the facilities that have, but they often have difficulty explaining what they need.  At Sigma, we translate those existing deficits into buildable requirements."

--- Dwight R. Luedtke, President
