ARLINGTON, Va.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–#Agile–Excella, a pioneer in Agile technology solutions, announced it has been awarded a contract by the Department of Justice Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives to provide Agile Support Services for the Spartan Case Management System. Excella will be providing agile coaching and comprehensive testing to support the continued development and maintenance of Spartan, a case management system that supports industry operations and criminal enforcement programs.
