CommerceBasix is a management consultancy that provides its federal government and commercial clients
- decision support services
- technology search and assessment services
CommerceBasix brings a unique mix of analytical talent to these assignments, people that have deep experience in specific business, technical, and defense areas. The firm also uses its proprietary visualization tool, LinkSight Analyst™, to present the results of its analysis in a manner that allows the client to dynamically drill-down on the research results, visually see relationships that may have been previously invisible, and make sense of what is often a complex field of inquiry.
CommerceBasix works with clients to identify, collect, organize, and relate this information to enable the manager and senior decision maker to find technology and financial points of leverage for the optimization of resources that are otherwise lost due to the amount of data, the number of resulting relationships and the complexity of these relationships. This process can be employed to find new opportunities to leverage existing investments, find opportunities for savings, or provide greater clarity regarding the current expenditure of funds and their relationship to pressing problems.
When supporting clients who are working with complex budget issues, CommerceBasix uses LinkSight Analyst™, a capability-based, program analysis and visualization tool to:
- find new opportunities for technical or financial leverage,
- identify cost savings
- provide greater clarity to stakeholders about the current expenditure of funds in relationship to pressing needs

- Trace Program transitions and Critical Paths
- Perform “what” “if” analysis to immediately see the operational impacts of program adjustments.
