Department of the Army
 The Army’s Business Mission Area Vision is a transformed Business Mission Area (BMA), which supports the Army Warfighter through world-class, network-centric access to knowledge, systems and services enabling confident and timely decision making across the Enterprise.
Important tools for Army business transformation are Lean Six Sigma (LSS), providing forcing functions for transformation, which has now been adopted by the Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD); capabilities-based IT PfM, an Army-wide process provided by the Chief Information Officer/G-6; and Organizational Analysis and Design (OA&D), which realigns organizations to better perform core functions.
The Army's four transformational goals are:
- Increasing situational awareness by establishing an enterprise-wide operating picture and data framework for optimal decision making;
- Improving asset accountability by creating an integrated financial environment and deployable financial management system;
- Enhancing and leveraging Army enterprise-wide synchronization by coordinating DoD, Joint, and Army initiatives to align people, processes and technologies; and
- Improving the IT investment strategy and outcomes through the Defense Business Systems Management Committee/Investment Review Board (DBSMC/IRB) investment certification process.
The Army's business transformation priorities are supported by business transformation programs and Doctrine, Organization, Training, Materiel, Leadership and Education, Personnel, and Facilities (DOTMLPF) activities that are products of the Army Vision and Mission and contribute to the achievement of the Army's business transformation goals.
The Army's business transformation priorities are the following:
- Support the warfighter by accelerating business systems modernization and the transition to net-centric data environment.
- Provide access to more reliable and accurate personnel information for Warfighting mission planning.
- Improve the accuracy and timeliness of information provided to Army decision makers.
- Provide ERP systems for asset accountability, budget execution, and accounting.
- Improve business practices through continuous process improvement to decrease operational cost and cycle times, and reduce unnecessary work and rework.
- Strengthen Army IT governance and IT portfolio management, including enterprise-wide, cross-domain synchronization.
