BRIDGING ORGANIZATIONAL AND ENTERPRISE IT DIVIDE MilTech is a mission-funded and cost-reimbursable non- acquisition category program that provides solutions connecting the acquisition community and closing the gap between organi- zational and enterprise IT. MilTech assesses shortfalls in what the Army enterprise currently provides, and what the acquisi- tion community needs, anticipating and responding to shifts in requirements and shaping the MilTech portfolio of offerings accordingly. Foremost among MilTech’s activities is aiding the acquisition community in using Army enterprise offerings such as Army 365 (A365) more efficiently.
MilTech offers key capabilities and support essential to foster- ing collaboration and enhancing information sharing. MilTech’s Team C4ISR [Command, Control, Communications, Comput- ers Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance] Acquisition Network (TCAN) delivers customer-centric services that cater to specific needs, including application development, cloud migration and hosting within the Cloud Army (cARMY) envi- ronment. MilTech’s portfolio of solutions includes business intelligence, information and document management, personnel accountability, program and project management, and workplace collaboration offerings. MilTech employs the MilTech Solutions Consortium model as its delivery mechanism for this set of core capabilities and solutions that adapt to meet customer demand.
THE COALITION OF THE WILLING Since its inception in 1998, the MilTech Consortium, dubbed the “coalition of the willing,” has been a catalyst for collective innova- tion and fiscal efficiency within the Army acquisition community. Te consortium provides a framework for member organizations to co-invest in solutions, share expertise and pool resources. It has enabled informed decision-making and application sharing, which not only fosters a united front within the Army, but also leads to substantial cost avoidance.
In a landscape where technological nimbleness and fiscal judi- ciousness are priorities, MilTech has positioned itself as a leader in delivering efficient and effective IT support services. Tis model both alleviates financial pressures on individual entities and culti- vates opportunities for technological growth and innovation.
“MilTech is a value add for my organization,” said Chris Harris, chief information officer (CIO) for PEO Combat Support and Combat Service Support (CS&CSS). “As the CIO for PEO CS&CSS, I find their support system to be an integral part of my overall IT program. Teir subject matter expertise and
SECURE SUITE
MilTech developed and delivers the milSuite plat- form, which reaches over 2.3 million users across DOD, facilitating communication and collaboration across organizations. Featured in the Fall 2023 edition of Army AL&T, the article “Enabling Network Convergence” highlights this social business tool. MilSuite is made up of a suite of secure, online tools and applications specifically designed to enhance collaboraton and information sharing. Its mission is to bridge the gap among users from all DOD branches, to foster learning, education and training, and to serve as a conduit for innovative ideas and concepts that drive positive change.
LOCATION INFORMATION
One primary example of how MilTech is respond- ing to the Army’s changing needs is the Manpower Information Retrieval and Reporting System (MIRARS). MilTech developed MIRARS in response to a critical situation that took place on an Army installation, which highlighted a lack of tools available to account for personnel quickly and accurately. MIRARS stands out as a mobile-ready personnel accountability tool that grants organiza- tions comprehensive oversight of their workforce’s current locations and enables instant communica- tion through a notification feature.
