+ FROM MANY, ONE
Stovepiped ERPs, such as those depicted on the left, have led to inflated and suboptimal sustainment expenditures, such as for “break-fix” IT services, whereby support is made available only when the customer needs repairs and upgrades, as opposed to proactive “managed” IT services. However, the authors noted, technology advances have enabled modern ERP implementations to combine enter- prise-wide functions and business intelligence in the cloud, and cloud-based applications will empower systems to respond more rapidly to changes in requirements.

With a few bold decisions, the Army can take advantage of proven technologies, transform its logistics enterprise, improve effective- ness, generate significant savings and liberate resources that can be used to ensure that our Army remains the most feared and respected force on the planet.
