Customer Profile

As a forward based land component, USAREUR demonstrates national resolve and strategic leadership by assuring stability and security, and leading joint and combined forces in support of the Combatant Commander.

 Business Situation

USAREUR needed a way to manage change and keep leaders informed in a fluid environment.  The solution they were using consisted of historical data via PowerPoint slides.  They were limited to one active user per Strategic Objective.  They had no way to query or track change.  They had no way to ensure updates were completed.  They needed tools to enhance collaboration.

Solution

USMS leverages the investment USAREUR has made in the Microsoft Windows platform and .NET technologies.  The heart of the system is a database that provides collaborative data management, including presentation of the information vital to the goals of the customer.  The net-centric web interface allows for data editing.  Multiple users can work on the same Strategic Objective sub items concurrently.  The web-based presentation tool allows navigation throughout the 250+ slides with ease.  It provides a method for the staff to collaborate and share information.

Benefits

USAREUR staff are able to manage their information in a geographically dispersed work environment.  The data is available through a database, and the brief is kept up to date in real time.  Staff can create custom briefs in a matter of minutes.
