The Cyber Statesman’s Post

Delivering information to the decision-makers who need it -- from the DoD to the battlefield -- reliably, securely, and at the speed of relevance is crucial. Let's talk at TEM. At the upcoming US Army Technical Exchange Meeting (TEM) 12, “The network is the Army’s number one transformation priority.” That means getting information where and when it’s needed, in a simple and intuitive way for users. Kinetic Data’s Digital Experience Platform (DXP) separates the front-end user interface from complex back-end IT infrastructure, integrating with virtually any system or data source in place today—as well as what will be in place tomorrow. It enables process owners to rapidly develop built-for-purpose user-facing applications using a backend-as-a-service (#BaaS) approach while future-proofing the Army’s network of the future. This isn’t our first mission. Over the past decade, we’ve implemented solutions for the US Army JLTV, US Army EITaaS, US Army CHS, Army National Guard, the Defense Information Systems Agency, the Defense Innovation Unit (DIU), and more. Connect with us at the US Army’s TEM 12 event, May 28-30 at the Marriott City Center in Philadelphia, PA.

Sector Focus - Defence: What Fulcrum IT Strategy Means for Warfighters and the Future of Defence What can we learn from the US Department of Defence's new IT strategy. "The Department of Defense’s new Fulcrum IT Strategy marks a pivotal shift in modernising its technological approach, prioritising user experience and interoperability for enhanced warfighter support." “Success is defined by the user experience — ensuring that decisions are made with the warfighter in mind.” This strategy exemplifies a forward-thinking approach, focusing on agility and the strategic use of emerging technology. Broadly, the Fulcrum strategy is structured around four lines of effort that the document states represent “a strategic shift that embraces technology as a mission enabler.” They include: LOE 1: Provide Joint Warfighting IT capabilities to expand strategic dominance of U.S. Forces and mission partners. LOE 2: Modernise information networks and compute to rapidly meet mission and business needs. LOE 3: Optimise IT governance to gain efficiencies in capability delivery and enable cost savings. LOE 4: Cultivate a premier digital workforce ready to deploy emerging technology to the warfighter. 123.EXPERT’S TAKE: Clearly the Fulcrum strategy could easily provide a framework for any organisation. Sales and/or marketing are warfighters to some extent, in the battle for market dominance.
