DOD E-Business: A Revolution Within A Revolution

Abstract

In most of the literature associated with the Revolution in Business Affairs, most activity has focused on becoming paperless as a method to saving money and improving efficiency. To that end, the initiatives begun by the Joint Electronic Commerce Program Office (JECPO) and the Standard Procurement System (SPS) Program Office have taken great strides in developing a business framework for business as it was envisioned in the late 1990s. The incorporation of new technologies and languages in the business world since the charter of these two institutions has provided opportunities and challenges for DOD in order to remain among the institutions employing best business practices. This paper addresses the history of the initiatives under the JEOPO, the SPS program and some new technologies and challenges at the dawn of the 21 century. The paper concludes with some recommendations for DOD on Business communication.
