Defense: Case Studies
- Armed Forces Personnel Administration Agency (AFPAA)
- The Agency wanted to reduce costs, modernise outdated IT systems and improve personnel services to the UK’s military Service members, retirees and dependents. Since the start of the relationship in 1997, and through a renegotiated contract designed to take the partnership even further, EDS, an HP company, and the Agency have worked together to achieve just that.
- Defense Finance and Accounting Service
- Overwhelmed by time-consuming, manual paper processes, the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Finance and Accounting Service (DFAS) needed a more efficient way of managing important documents. By reengineering business processes with automated workflows, EDS has virtually eliminated paper clogs and errors within the U.S. Department of Defense’s Defense Finance and Accounting Service, while arming the agency with cost savings.
- German Federal Armed Forces
- When European military doctrines required that Germany transform its military capabilities for the 21st century, the German Armed Forces enlisted EDS to deliver an automated materiel tracking solution for the logistics supply chain.
- U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Simulation, Training & Instrumentation (PEO STRI)
- To support the mission of the U.S. Army Program Executive Office Simulation, Training and Instrumentation, EDS partnered with Computer Sciences to design, deploy and maintain a collaboration-based management information system.
- U.S. Department of Defense
- The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) wanted to provide critical information assurance functions for its logical (computer) and physical assets, improve business processes and enhance quality of life for its 4 million employees worldwide via chip-based smart cards.
- U.S. Department of Defense (Command Communications Survivability Program)
- After September 11, a study found vulnerabilities in the Pentagon's IT infrastructure. As a result, the Department of Defense wanted to quickly eliminate those areas of weakness, improve security and ensure systems could survive virtually any contingency.
- United Kingdom Ministry of Defence
- To enhance the efficiency, speed and accuracy of planning air missions, the Ministry of Defence looked to information technology (IT) partner EDS. EDS developed a family of mission-planning systems that now supports almost all aircraft types in the Royal Air Force fleet.
- Veterans Health Administration
- Public and private hospitals have long dealt with the issue of ensuring patients receive the correct medicine in the correct dose at the correct time. See how the Department of Veterans Affairs hospital system partnered with EDS to eliminate this problem.
