BEYOND BEAN COUNTING
Ever since the Chief
Financial Officers Act of 1990 first called for a clean audit, the
Defense Department has been working mightily to unite its thousands of
business systems.

spent his career in the Defense Department turning around challenging
programs.

THE ERP PROBLEMS
Cryptic and often confusing
acronyms have long dominated military-speak, covering everything from
organizational structure (CENTCOM) to chilling battlefield threats
(IEDs). Now, military planners are incorporating another bit of
shorthand into their lexicon: ERP.
GAME ON
Zap! A soldier in training fires a
laser weapon simulator and wipes out a distant target. Nearby, another
adversary suddenly pops up, but this time the soldier fails to score a
kill. The target knows how to cheat the system, ducking behind a tent
flap that a real bullet would have penetrated. But the laser simulator
can’t.

engagements.

Defense Information Systems Agency officials view it as a byproduct of
fiscal integrity—a goal we work at every day.
FOR SMART PULL, DOD FACES A CHALLENGE OF SCALE
I received an excellent comment from a reader pointing out that in the
smart-pull world of data access that the Defense Department’s
network-centric model envisions, typical end users will not be satisfied
if they have to integrate all of the information themselves.
