"Jacob Francis is being recognized for the exceptional support he and his team provided in creating the automated annual Special Access Program (SAP) security training (AST) process as required by DoDM 5205.07. You enthusiastically embraced the challenge, gathered requirements, held face-to-face meetings with the stakeholders, became proficient on the manual process already in place, and brainstormed potential automation options. The end result of your efforts was a software solution that tracks the AST status, dates, and documentation for all Program Executive Office Missiles and Space (PEO MS) assigned SAP briefed personnel, while automatically sending notification emails to all stakeholders at the appropriate intervals. The level of attention, individual interaction, and professionalism displayed during the beta testing phase was a key factor in the success of this project. The outstanding effort you have made has saved PEO MS countless manhours and greatly enhanced the information protection posture of our nation's most highly guarded national security information. I commend you for a job well done!"
