STRATEGIC SOURCING SIA NOW LIVE!
The Defense Acquisition University and the Department of Defense Strategic Sourcing Office are pleased to open a new Special Interest Area (SIA) on Strategic Sourcing. Strategic Sourcing is a collaborative and structured process of analyzing an organization's spend and using the information to make business decisions about acquiring commodities and services more efficiently and effectively. This SIA provides best practices and resource links throughout DoD and the federal government, access to free on-line training, DoD and other annual strategic sourcing reports and fact sheets, and information on other integral topics such as market research and spend analysis. We encourage the sharing of strategic sourcing success stories/information and hope you will send us material and links for posting on this site. [27 Apr 2009]

ACQUIPEDIA IS NOW LIVE
On 31 Mar, DAU deployed the ACQuipedia website, the online encyclopedia of common defense acquisition topics that was developed to create content around acquisition-related topics. ACQuipedia articles, which will be maintained as a collaborative effort of subject matter experts throughout DAU, aggregate the most relevant references and learning assets to narrowly focus users and quickly provide high value content on a subject. The website features both search and browse features, as well as links from the Integrated Lifecycle Chart (formerly Integrated Framework Chart), the Defense Acquisition Guidebook, and other Web-enabled documents and tools.
