Join us for this live webinar to learn what is missing in traditional ERP systems and how an ERP reimagined for global defense organizations is different. Register now: https://hubs.la/Q02w8cv20 Learn how this new emerging capability can: ✅ Optimize and combine logistical support across all military groups, supply classes, and organizational tiers while integrating with legacy environments. ✅ Deploy at a fraction of the cost and time of traditional ERPs while creating a “Never Legacy” environment. ✅ Support true deployed disconnected/D-DIL operations, ashore and afloat. ✅ Natively support key defense capabilities such as management of munitions and guided weapons, food service, bulk fuels, medical supplies, and sparing across supply, transportation, and maintenance functions. #supplychain #defense #erp #network #military #digitaltransformat

Force management is the backbone of Defense organizations, including the U.S. Department of Defense, and it ensures that commanders and force planners make mission-critical decisions on personnel, training and equipment.

NGC2 Request for Information is now out: The U.S. Army is seeking industry feedback as it prepares to rapidly and competitively award contracts for prototyping Next Generation Command and Control, a new approach to provide commanders and units at echelon an open and modular C2 ecosystem across hardware, software and applications with access to a common and integrated data layer. The RFI was released on sam.gov in support of the Army’s Software Acquisition Pathway Program for NGC2. The RFI states that the Army plans to competitively award contracts by May 2025 with initial prototype delivery(s) to occur within six months. The planned contract awards are structured to enable multiple iterative and competitive opportunities for industry to contribute technology to NGC2. The Army emphasizes that no one company can provide a total solution for NGC2, and that the government intends to continue to onboard vendor teams for additional components and layers available after the initial prototyping awards.

Ivalua's Stephen Carter discusses strategies for increasing visibility and accelerating innovation in #supplychains within the defense industry with John Hill on the Army Technology & Global Defence Technology. The #defense sector is faced with #supplychain disruptions caused by the Covid-19 pandemic, geopolitical uncertainty, and internal challenges such as outdated technology and limited visibility which affects collaboration with suppliers. Through digitalization, defense organizations can rediscover the innovation path that has been "almost forgotten". #Procurement

Having supported many data migrations and PLM/PDM projects at major aerospace and defense organizations, we know all too well how legacy solutions can be a barrier to resilience. In this blog post Aras shares an approach for fostering flexibility and agility within the defense industry: https://bit.ly/45zIMjp #Defense #DigitalThread #PDM

The U.S. Army is advancing its digital engineering efforts to streamline acquisition processes and enhance system sustainment. This initiative aims to transition from manual processes to a fully digital environment, significantly speeding up project timelines and reducing costs. Key aspects include creating a digital engineering environment, developing a skilled workforce, and ensuring interoperability between digital tools. The Army is also collaborating with industry to align with digital engineering standards and avoid vendor lock-in. This digital transformation is part of a broader strategy to achieve a data-centric, technologically advanced force by 2030, aligning with the Army’s Unified Data Reference Architecture and digital twin technologies. #digitalengineering #usarmy #modernization #datacentric #techinnovation #militarytechnology #defensesystems #interoperability #industrycollaboration #army2030 Source- https://lnkd.in/gtn9uTEm

Army CIO Leo Garciga emphasized the importance of aligning Army software modernization with the operational needs of our soldiers. The goal? Integrating secure, modernized tech into deployment patterns to deliver mission-critical solutions, when and where they’re needed most. It’s all about improving the user experience and ensuring our warfighters have the tools they need in real time. Catch the full discussion here: https://lnkd.in/eyDns-5x

ATTENTION Industry Partners! The Defense Information Systems Agency (DISA) Defense Information Technology Contracting Organization (DITCO) recently released the Army’s Comprehensive Modernization (COMPMOD) Request for Proposal (RFP) against the ENCORE III contract. The RFP Closing Date is June 17, 2024. The COMPMOD acquisition will provide a flexible resource to enable the Government to implement DoD unified capabilities to seamlessly integrate all forms of IT capabilities into a converged enterprise system. It will fundamentally change the Army’s approach to delivering a modernized network for voice, video, data, and command center capabilities on classified and unclassified networks. The integration of these technologies offers stakeholders flexibility, mobility, security, and efficiency. Be sure to respond by June 17!
