Abstract
The purpose of this research paper is to develop solutions for digitizing (automating) the Army's workplace using information technology (IT) enterprise management processes for the sustaining base/power projection platform in support of Force XXI and beyond. This paper explores the idea of IT enterprise management. It analyzes four major IT challenges that affect the way we develop IT enterprise management strategies and implement IT plans for the Army. This research project includes: historical perspective of workplace IT; aligning IT and organizational goals; implementing IT capital planning and investment management; measuring IT contributions to mission performance; and discusses critical technologies required to perform management functions. A review of future technology trends rounds out the research. Recommendations are presented throughout the paper to help managers better understand and effectively develop solutions for improved IT management for digitizing the workplace. This research paper provides a simple guide of ideas, suggestions and methods for Army managers in planning and implementing digitized workplaces that can meet the demands of Force XXI and beyond.
