ERP Convergence

Abstract

The Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution is an integrated business management system that modernizes and standardizes Navy's business processes. Navy ERP utilizes best commercial practices to provide real-time information exchange, unprecedented financial and asset visibility, and improved reporting and decision-making capabilities across key acquisition, financial, and logistics operations. Navy ERP is the tool chosen to meet Congressional mandates to establish and maintain federal financially compliant management systems, federal accounting standards, and US Government General Ledger procedures at the transaction level. The Navy ERP foundation to achieve enterprise-wide business transformation is accomplished through two releases: the Financial/Acquisition Solution and the Single Supply Solution. In October 2008, ASN FM&C designated Navy ERP the Navy's Financial System of Record. The Navy has already encountered and overcome a broad range of challenges to successfully deploy financial, acquisition, and workforce management capabilities to four System Commands. These Commands include over 40,000 users and cover about $63B of the Navy's Total Obligation Authority (TOA). Navy ERP is currently in the process of deploying the Single Supply Solution, which will be complete in FY12, providing an integrated financial and supply functionality projected to result in significant inventory savings. The Program of Record future deployments include the Financial/Acquisition Solution to Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA) (Working Capital Fund) in October 2011, and the Office of Naval Research (ONR) and Strategic Systems Programs (SSP) in October 2012. The Navy has committed to implementing the Navy ERP capabilities across the full Navy enterprise in order to tie Navy business processes together in a single system, provide unprecedented financial transparency, and increase asset visibility. This will ultimately increase the percentage of Navy TOA managed within the ERP system from 50% to approximately 100% and increase the number of users from approximately 66,000 to approximately 143,000. Program development completed in FY10; no further RDTEN funding required in the outyears.
