Acuity Systems, LLC (Acuity), a leader in delivering IT modernization
and analytics solutions to U.S. federal government organizations,
announced today that the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has awarded the
company the contract to develop an integrated cloud-based case
management, analytics, and business process management solution that
will be used by the Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs (OWCP) to
manage and administer workers’ compensation and disability programs for
workers and dependents.
The OWCP Workers’ Compensation System (OWCS) will be a mission-critical
unified platform-as-a-service that modernizes four disparate workers’
compensation systems enabling the DOL to streamline the review,
distribution, and administration of wage replacement benefits, medical
treatment, vocational rehabilitation and other benefits to American
workers or their dependents who experience work-related injury or
occupational disease. Acuity will utilize agile best practices and a
DevSecOps delivery model to deliver the OWCS based on flexible, scalable
architectures, modular design, utilizing both COTS and open-source
software components.
“Acuity is excited to leverage our expertise in delivering
transformative IT solutions to support OWCP in delivering critical
benefits and support to injured American workers and their dependents,”
said Paul Shulman, Chief Executive Officer at Acuity. “Our talented team
will work with OWCP to deliver the OWCS capabilities in months instead
of years.”
