As a part of the data system, she developed online analytical processing (OLAP) to analyze data collected over several years and wrote a tri-weekly bulletin, alert reports, and issue papers dealing with corporate threat. Ms. Ericson consulted with the Army Materiel Command (AMC) as a threat assessment subject matter expert where she worked with the Year 2000 Technical Advisory Group Response Planning Workgroup responsible for the analysis of Year 2000 threat scenarios that could impact or disrupt the Command’s mission. I designed and developed a scenario tool portraying the impacts of the identified threats. Prior to working with AMC, Ms Ericson consulted at the IRS where performed analysis of domestic and international Year 2000 threat scenarios, renovation practices, contingency and crisis management preparedness. While there, she developed a database and threat randomizer to evaluate and prioritize scenarios, and participated in the development of a software application to assess threat scenarios and conduct associative system analysis.
