Demand Driven Solutions for Public Sector

Solutions for Public Sector and Defense (click to enlarge)

The Department of Defense (DoD) is made up of many service arms and agencies that must work seamlessly together in order to achieve optimal performance.

The service arms are supported in both deployment and sustainment activities by the DLA, USTRANSCOM, OSD and many private sector contractors, outsourced manufacturers, service suppliers, product suppliers, etc.  Whether it is forward fulfillment of goods in theatre to support the warfighter, reverse logistics of repairables and retrograde or deployment during time of war, a demand driven multi-party network service is required to truly solve the problems of the military supply chain.

The DoD’s current operations operate in “siloes”, which results in the buildup of oversized inventories, extremely long lead times, limited service levels and cost inefficiencies.

Traditional commercial off the shelf software (COTS) will not work for the service arms of the DoD. Its single enterprise architecture and single enterprise process approach – by definition – will never work given the multi-enterprise, multi-echelon, requirements of the DoD.

In order to modernize the systems and processes of the DoD, the solution set must support the following capabilities:

Many-to-Many, Multi-Party, Multi-Echelon Supply Network

Each service arm, whether it be the United States Air Force, Army, Navy or Marine Corps, needs to be able to integrate closely with each other, the DLA, USTRANSCOM and many civilian companies. In order to accomplish this, a network of trading partners must be connected and have the ability to transact, execute and plan together.

One Network provides this government network offering thousands of companies already working together.

What does this mean for you? Essentially, higher service levels, lower costs and greater success for all parties in the network.

Continuous, Incremental Planning & Execution Across the Value Network

Our many-to-many, multi-echelon network enables real-time collaboration among all of your value chain participants.  So, whether you’re a Service Arm, DLA, USTRANSCOM or a supplier to the government, One Network instantly updates you and your systems with demand or supply changes and instantly flows the new plans across the entire supply network.

Traditional planning tools only optimize their own operations and are limited to planning at best once a day. For planning to be effective in a fast moving supply chain, it must move at the speed of the execution system, which moves continuously, not once a day. One Network offers the only technology that plans continuously and incrementally to drive effective plans and adjusts them in near real time for maximum results.

Real-Time Sense and Respond

Our optimization engines use real time execution data and actual lead times.  This means no more service level problems for the warfighter or overstocks.  No more missed shipments or misuse of capacity.

The systems sense potential problems throughout the supply chain and execute the resolution engines to resolve these problems before they occur.

Scalable and Extensible with Accelerated Time to Value

Our government-certified cloud-based solution is scalable and extensible, so you can choose to embrace or replace your existing systems. The government can choose to run this network or allow One Network or its partners to manage the network on behalf of the government. Our network service in the cloud immediately leverages all trading partners, significantly lowering implementation costs and sharing them across the network. This means that the service arms and agencies can finally share capabilities instead of building common capabilities many times for each organization

So, implementation is quick and painless.  And, our secure cloud platform equals no expensive hardware to procure and maintain.

Another unique offering is that we can configure your solution any way you’d like:  With our industry-first Developer Network, you can extend the One Network suite of applications to include your own intellectual property or build new solutions from scratch. All solutions are built using this robust set of developer tools. No longer do you need to try to adapt unique government processes into generic, unusable commercial systems.

Proven Technology

Our technology helped the United States Marine Corps win the prestigious DON IM/IT Excellence Award for the AMMO project.  This honorable award recognizes the superior quality of Information Management/Information Technology projects. This validates our efforts at transforming the Navy.
