WORKFORCE

The DefenseReady Workforce discipline is a consolidated system for managing personnel information, plus staff action tasks. The most important resource in any organization is the intellect of the people who work there. The key to success is realizing the potential of this resource. Empower your people with role-based information and actionable knowledge through data that is uniquely configured for your workforce. DefenseReady makes it easy for everyone to focus their daily efforts on highest-value tasks and allows managers to map user tasks and work needs for an individualized experience.

STAFF ACTIONS

For many DoD organizations, staff action management is a complex challenge that involves the routing, tracking, and facilitating of cross- organizational tasks. The DefenseReady staff action management solution is a generic framework for managing the core activities of initiating and receiving staff actions, acknowledgement, execution, review, and response delivery. With DefenseReady, staff can generate actions directly from DefenseReady, Microsoft Outlook or SharePoint sites. And there are dramatic time savings through the use of templates, which provide an 80% solution for staffing and suspenses, yielding consistent expectations for results. Finally, leaders have overall visibility of each stage via statistics, metrics, and scorecards.

MISSION

The mission is broadly defined as the specific mandate of the organization as a whole and the particular activities that differentiate the organization from most others. Thus, a mission for one organization could differ greatly from the mission of a separate organization. An example of a mission could be to provide all facets of communication for a high-level government official. To meet differing needs, the DefenseReady suite can be highly customized to meet the mission requirements of each organization.

TRAINING

The DefenseReady training discipline provides a complete learning management system for members of government organizations, who require on-the-job training. Organizations are able to manage courses, whether they are instructor-led or SCORM-compliant web-based classes, launched via a web-player. Along with managing courses, users can assign and upload courses into the training application.

FUNDS

While the financial portion of an application can be multi-faceted, there are often two central aspects which apply to all organizations: budget and acquisition. The budget facet of DefenseReady is an internal tracking tool, not a ledger or accounting system. In this way, the budget helps account for the overall financial plan by managing the allocation of funds within each business unit. The acquisition facet stresses automation of the internal business processes and workflows associated with requesting and allocating funds for asset needs.

ASSETS

A common thread across most organizations is having an inventory of equipment, whether the items are as simple as pencils, or as massive and intricate as tanks. The DefenseReady asset management discipline provides end-to-end asset accountability and equipment visibility tied to users. With streamlined workflows, digital signature capability, audit histories, parallel inventories, and many other features, it serves as a basis for configuration management and supplies answers to questions about assets.

SERVICES

Microsoft Dynamics CRM already provides a solid foundation for service management and scheduling. Our DefenseReady service discipline builds upon these elements and it tailors them to meet the needs of government organizations. The DefenseReady service discipline standardizes and manages requests and their fulfillment, monitors the workflow for all of the services, and provides a single point of entry for all needs in the organization. In addition, it tracks facility and compound access, which allows a full overview of visitor access requests.

PUBLIC AFFAIRS

Government organizations are responsible for certain public affairs items and are required to respond to private and public citizen inquiries. There are other types of communication that also fall within the public affairs realm. The area of public affairs consists of three main functions: public information, command and internal information, and community relations. To assist with these functions, DefenseReady's platform includes workflow and metrics, so an organization can learn from past mistakes and improve future processes.
