Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995, the DoD business systems modernization program was designated as a high-risk program, and the program remains on the high-risk list today. A key to successful systems modernization is having and using an enterprise architecture as an authoritative frame of reference, or blueprint, for system investment decisions. To assist DoD in modernizing its business systems, Congress passed legislation consistent with prior recommendations for DoD to develop and implement a business enterprise architecture (BEA). In response, DoD developed a corporate BEA that it intends to federate, or extend, to the military depts. and defense agencies. This report evaluates the status of the Air Force, Navy, and Army architecture programs. Illus.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DoD) is the largest organization in the world, with operations that span a broad range of agencies, activities, and commands. With an annual budget over $500 billion, DoD employs millions of people that operate worldwide and maintains an inventory system that is an order of magnitude larger than any other in the world. However, the business systems used to manage these resources are outdated and inefficient. DoD relies on several thousand, non-integrated, and non-interoperable legacy systems, that are error prone, redundant, and do not provide the enterprise visibility necessary to make sound management decisions. In order to meet current and future challenges, DoD needs business systems that enable it to be flexible, adaptive, and accountable. Transformation of business systems and process will not only reduce costs and improve performance, it is critical for improving warfighter support. Recognizing this, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld began a business transformation initiative in July 2001. This report is divided into two parts. Part I evaluates DoD's business systems transformation effort, identifies lessons learned, and make recommendations to improve the prospects for success of the current business transformation effort. Part II includes several cases studies of business systems transformation in the federal public sector, at the Business Transformation Agency (BTA), and in the Military Services. Each case describes a specific transformation initiative and identifies lessons learned from the experience.

Book excerpt: Since 1995, the Dept. of Defense's (DoD) multibillion dollar business systems modernization program has been designated as high risk, and it continues to do so today. To assist in addressing DoD's modernization challenges, the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2005 requires the DoD to, among other things, report specific information about business system investments, including: (1) milestones and actual performance against specified measures and any revisions; and (2) actions taken to certify that a modernization investment involving more than $1 million meets defined conditions before obligating funds. This report focused on the FY 2010 report's compliance with, these provisions of the act. Illus. This is a print-on-demand publication; it is not an original.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 93 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Department of Defense (DOD) is in the midst of a transformation effort under the leadership of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld. A large portion of military transformation is focused on DOD business practices. It has been estimated that up to five percent of the annual DOD budget could be saved by improving and streamlining defense business operations. This initiative is critical given the large numbers of legacy business systems and the steady increases in annual maintenance costs associated with these outdated systems. This report explores the legislative history leading to the development of the Business Management Modernization Program (BMMP). The current state of DOD business systems is examined, as well as case studies on specific system modernization initiatives conducted proceeding and immediately following the implementation of BMMP. Our recommendations for successful business systems modernization efforts include senior leadership supporting the need for change, understanding the implications of using commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) products, properly structuring the acquisition process and emphasizing the importance of systems integration.

This book was released on 2017-09-16 with total page 44 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995, we first designated the Department of Defense's (DOD) business systems modernization program as "high risk," and we continue to designate it as such today. To assist in addressing this high-risk area, Congress passed legislation consistent with prior GAO recommendations for Defense to develop a business enterprise architecture (BEA). In September 2006, DOD released version 4.0 of its BEA, which despite improvements over prior versions, was not aligned with component architectures. Subsequently, Defense issued a strategy for extending its BEA to the component military services and defense agencies. To support GAO's legislative mandate to review DOD's BEA, GAO assessed DOD's progress in defining this strategy by comparing it with prior findings and recommendations relevant to the strategy's content.

Download or read book Defense Business Transformation Achieving Success Requires a Chief Management Officer to Provide Focus and Sustained Leadership written by and published by DIANE Publishing. This book was released on 2007 with total page 38 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although DOD has made progress toward establishing a management framework for overall business transformation, the framework currently focuses on business systems modernization and does not fully address broader business transformation efforts. In 2005, DOD set up the Defense Business Systems Management Committee to review and approve the business enterprise architecture a transformation blueprint and new business systems modernization investments. It also established the Business Transformation Agency, which currently reports to the Vice Chair of the Defense Business Systems Management Committee, to coordinate and lead business transformation across the department. Despite these steps, DOD has not clearly defined or institutionalized interrelationships, roles and responsibilities, or accountability for establishing a management framework for overall business transformation. For example, differences of opinion exist within DOD about the roles of various senior leadership committees. Until DOD's business transformation management framework is institutionalized and encompasses broad responsibilities for all aspects of business transformation, it will be challenging for DOD to integrate related initiatives into a sustainable, enterprise-wide approach to successfully resolve weaknesses in business operations that GAO has shown are at high risk of waste, fraud, and abuse.

Book excerpt: For decades, the Department of Defense (DOD) has not been successful in repeated attempts to modernize its business systems and operations. To assist DOD, Congress included provisions in the Fiscal Year 2005 Ronald W. Reagan National Defense Authorization Act that were consistent with GAO's recommendations for developing a business enterprise architecture and associated enterprise transition plan and establishing and implementing effective information technology (IT) business system investment management structures and processes. The Act further requires that the Secretary of Defense submit an annual report to congressional defense committees on its compliance with certain requirements of the Act not later than March 15 of each year from 2005 through 2009. In response to the Act's mandate, GAO assessed the actions by DOD to comply with the requirements of the Act and determined the extent to which DOD has addressed GAO's prior recommendations.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD has had long-standing, serious problems with its numerous military component-unique personnel and pay systems. To address these problems, in 1998, DoD initiated a program to design and implement the Defense Integrated Military Human Resources System, which will provide a joint, integrated, standardized personnel and pay system for all acting and reserve military components. However, some Army Reserve and National Guard troops continued to receive inaccurate pay. Furthermore, problems have been exacerbated by military personnel deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, whose families depend on receiving accurate and timely pay. This review focuses on DoD¿s plans to deliver the system to the Army for deployment. Charts and tables.
