Information Technology Development

Abstract

The DCMA is engaged in several major Information Technology (IT) initiatives to improve and modernize the information technology environment. IT is the primary enabling capability the acquisition workforce relies upon to communicate with contractors, the DoD acquisition community and other customers. The National Defense Strategy business reform line of effort drives these initiatives. The Defense Contract Management Agency (DCMA) continues to execute an IT modernization strategy established in FY 2020 to improve visibility, insight, and collaboration between DCMA, the military services, other defense agencies, and contractors in the Defense Industrial Base (DIB). Core to this strategy is the Modernization and Analytics Initiative (MAI) program to modernize and integrate the entire DCMA portfolio of aging Contract Administration Services (CAS) capabilities and supporting infrastructure, leveraging Platform and Software as a Service (PaaS/SaaS) cloud environment, the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE), the Department of the Navy (DoN) Product Data Reporting and Evaluation Program (PDREP) and OUSD(C) ADVANA Business Intelligence and Data Analytics platform to enable department-wide CAS capabilities. These efforts support the Director’s strategic objective to modernize CAS tools to improve DCMA processes, enhance DOD Acquisition insights, and standardize contract administration actions and data accessibility across the Department.enterprise. Development and research initiatives are a core component in the DCMA ability to align efforts appropriately to the DoD CIO IT Reform Initiative. In order to meet the needs of the DoD community, the DCMA current efforts are focused on investing in the development of investments in two core areas: 1) the Modernization and Analytics Initiative Strategy and 2) the Procurement Integrated Enterprise Environment (PIEE) (hosts Wide Area WorkFlow (WAWF)). These core initiatives will empower mobile and fixed users' ability to utilize DoD enterprise capabilities with the same level or improved efficiency and effectiveness. The DCMA is also mandated to align with the DoD strategy for digital modernization of enterprise capabilities. This involves migrating the DCMA application infrastructure to an enterprise hosting environments and modern technology platforms, rationalizing existing applications to ensure capabilities align with mission requirements, and adopting new DoD strategies for modern software development methodologies. These solutions will improve process gaps to streamline/simplify automated contract administration, provide real-time data visibility, reduce manual intervention and provide effective, regulatory based tools for use across the Department.
