Our Impact upon the Military Academy

Numerous efforts have been made to determine if the Academy can function using "commercial off the shelf" products which are on the market and used by many Tier One Universities. Each time, we have found that the unique administrative needs of the United States Military Academy cannot be satisfactorily met by those products. For this reason alone, the Software Engineering Branch is a vital addition to the Military Academy and is essential to the smooth operation of the university.

SEB Highlights

The Software Engineering Branch at the United States Military Academy is one of the few organizations of its kind that can still be found on an Army Installation. During a recent Business Process Review of the SEB, BG Kaufman cited SEB as "one of the most highly regarded and responsive organizations at the Military Academy. SEB is an agent of change at the Military Academy and a success story".
