ARES' PRISM/PRISM(G2) is an award-winning commercial project management system providing complete integration of cost, schedule, and technical data through the project life-cycle.  PRISM(G2) meets all government agency requirements for Earned Value Management and is used extensively on projects for DOE, DoD, NASA, and many Fortune 500 companies to manage multi-billion dollar projects in diverse industries around the globe.

ARES' AVERT and BluTrain products have revolutionized the quantitative security optimization field.  AVERT delivers comprehensive security evaluations and optimizes security improvements for the most cost-effective solutions.  AVERT is used to protect some of the most strategic assets in the U.S. and is SAFETY ACT certified by the Department of Homeland Security.  BluTrain, an innovative force protection training solution, expands on the AVERT engine to cost-effectively train security forces through virtual, targeted Blue-on-Red exercises.  

SYRIS, a public health surveillance, real-time communication program, is used to successfully detect, track and respond to epidemics and other public health concerns including bioterrorism and emerging infectious diseases.  SYRIS prevents ineffective use of valuable community resources by quickly determining if outbreaks are valid through geographic syndrome mapping.
