Army Business System Modernization Initiatives

Abstract

Global Force Information Management (GFIM): GFIM is a Global Force Management Data Initiative (GFM DI) compliant, integrated, and interoperable digital environment that enables, thru automation, the Deploy to Redeploy/Retrograde (D2RR) end-to-end business processes in support of Dynamic Force Employment (DFE). Today, over 85% of this core Army Business Process is done manually and the tools that are available are on outdated technology platforms. GFIM will provide the tools necessary to dynamically develop, design, and document the Army's force structure at rest and in motion. GFIM will evolve both long-term and immediate bridging solutions that integrate and automate Army operational business processes, using an interoperable, collaborative environment, to enable the seamless exchange of authoritative data across the operational community of practice to provide rapid, accurate, and auditable outcomes to support risk informed senior leader decisions. GFIM will provide the core data necessary for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems, other Business Mission Area (BMA) systems and Warfighting Mission Area (WMA) systems to efficiently and effectively execute business processes in support of Army Title 10 responsibilities and war fighting operations. The Student Information Repository (SIR) Application will replace several independent applications and business processes used to track student data including, but not limited to, personal information, grades, attendance, official records, transcripts, teaching teams, student assignments, and surveys. It is a customized information system that is comprised of separate modules that are tied in together as one system. The Program Planning Budget (PPB)- Business Operating System (BOS) will standardize and better integrate the transactional automated information systems used in the HQDA level programming and budgeting processes. These systems are core to the PPBE business processes of the HQ for gathering programmatic requirements, balancing resources and delivering the Army's program budget to OSD. This project is streamlining programming and budgeting processes and significantly improving strategic analysis capabilities. The project is architecting, reengineering, streamlining and consolidating HQDA systems, feeder data base systems, and streamlining the associated processes. These improvements will improve capability, eliminate redundancies and reduce overall cost of operations. The PPB BOS project is complementary to the Army's General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) program. It includes a new effort in FY 2014, the Army Contract Writing System, a replacement for the DoD Standard Procurement System (SPS).
