SAIC and OpsHub Partner to Operationalize a Transformative, Fully Automated Digital Thread in ReadyOne
Strategic collaboration will power enterprises to build a resilient, fully automated digital thread inside ReadyOne, SAIC’s digital engineering ecosystem
The partnership enables government agencies and enterprises to create a complete digital thread across software development, product engineering, MBSE, and change management - delivering a single source of intelligence demanded by today’s rapidly changing business landscape.
Customers don’t need a full system revamp where they need to buy, learn, and completely transfer over to an additional platform. They simply use the tools they already trust, and ReadyOne stitches them together into a fully automated, resilient digital thread.
Why Now: Traditional Digital Thread Approaches Simply Don’t Cut It Anymore
Most attempts to create a digital thread have looked the same: deploy a new tool, centralize data in a proprietary environment, and ask teams to change the way they work. On paper, that sounds manageable. In practice, it creates slow adoption, fragmented execution, and limited value.
The Pentagon has made it clear in DoDI 5000.97 and MOSA that digital engineering and modular, open architectures are not optional — they are the standard. But policy only works when execution is practical.
That’s where the SAIC x OpsHub partnership changes the model. By blending forces, customers get a digital thread that is:
- Faster to adopt – Teams can stay in their existing ALM, PLM, MBSE, and DevSecOps tools. OpsHub connects 70+ of them out-of-the-box, ensuring no retraining and no disruption.
- Truly vendor-agnostic – Customers define their toolchain; ReadyOne respects it. This aligns directly with MOSA’s mandate for openness and modularity.
- Automated and gatekeeper-free – The thread builds itself. Once deployed, data flows continuously, without waiting for manual exports or admin bottlenecks.
- Resilient at scale – Designed for multi-tier, multi-contractor programs, OpsHub runs outside of tools, ensuring zero performance impact and compliance with DEE (Digital Engineering Ecosystem) principles.
- Secure and policy-aligned – Data management adheres to VALTIS standards, with full auditability to satisfy acquisition and compliance strategies.
- Digital Artifacts on Demand – Reports and views are generated dynamically from the digital thread, not stitched together manually.
- Industry 4.0 Ready – Connecting design, production, and sustainment for smarter, data-driven operations.
Shaping the New Frontier for Enterprise-Wide Digital Thread Enablement
The timing of this partnership is not coincidence — it’s a necessity. Here’s why:
- Data is no longer optional. The Pentagon’s Data Strategy (VAULTIS) and Digital Engineering Ecosystem (DEE) require programs to treat data as an asset — visible, linked, and trusted — not as documents scattered across silos.
- Industry 4.0 is here. Manufacturing, sustainment, and operations now depend on connected, model-driven data to reduce cost, shorten timelines, and ensure mission readiness.
- Programs can’t afford disruption. Traditional “digital thread in a new tool” approaches slow adoption and create risk. Teams need infrastructure that works invisibly with the systems they already use.
By combining SAIC’s mission-proven ReadyOne platform with OpsHub’s digital thread infrastructure, customers get exactly what the moment demands: a resilient, automated, and vendor-agnostic digital thread that is compliant on paper, actionable in practice, and ready to scale today.
Leadership Perspective
“This partnership with OpsHub provides our nation’s armed forces and intelligence agencies with expanded solution offerings to accelerate their adoption of SAIC’s ReadyOne digital engineering practices,” said Chris Finlay, Vice President of Innovation at SAIC. “Missions are quickly evolving and we must bring in advanced technologies that enhance transparency, improve collaboration and deliver greater impact – all while being scalable and maintainable.”
“By joining forces with SAIC, we’re giving customers the ability to build a resilient digital thread inside ReadyOne — one that works across all their tools, scales across all their programs, and aligns with mandates like DoDI 5000.97 and MOSA.
Customers don’t need another platform, another gatekeeper, or another layer of disruption. What they get is faster adoption, trusted data in every system, and a best-in-class ecosystem for leveraging digital engineering at scale." - OpsHub Executive.
