Office of Asset Enterprise Management Home

Welcome to the Office of Asset Enterprise Management (OAEM) web site. OAEM's mission is to ensure efficient and effective corporate-level management of VA capital assets in order to better serve veterans and their families. We strive to be the leader in innovative capital asset management practices. We strive to accomplish these goals through our core values of integrity, innovation, flexibility, leadership, and respect.

OAEM deploys four services (Capital Asset Policy, Planning, and Strategy Service (CAPPS), Investment & Enterprise Development Service (IEDS), Capital Asset Management Service (CAMS) and Capital Operations and Programs Service (COPPS)), which work collaboratively with all areas of the Department to ensure capital investments are based on sound business practices and principles and - most importantly - meet our veterans' health care, benefits and burial needs. More specifically, OAEM works in partnership with the Administrations and staff offices to facilitate processes that:

Recommend effective capital asset polices;
Demonstrate improved capital planning and identification of needs;
Ensure all investments undergo an appropriate level of analysis required for a sound investment decision;
Manage "Departmental Asset Initiatives" that are precedent setting in the manner by which VA acquires and manages its capital holdings, or other initiatives identified as high visibility or significance within the Department;
Oversee the analysis and monitoring of VA's capital asset performance management system, (CAMS); and
Evaluate the effectiveness of VA's implementation of capital asset management policies, principles, standards and guidelines.
