A HUMAN-CENTERED APPROACH FOR SOLDIERS This week's Teammate Tuesday is Tony Daddario, UI/UX Designer for PEO Enterprise's CIO team. Tony leaves the organization this week after a short time supporting the CIO, but having made a lasting impression with the knowledge and vision he shared. His message to our community: "I truly enjoyed the kindness and openness of everyone at PEO Enterprise, as well as the organization's aspirations, and the mission commitment to crafting Soldier-centric products. It's a family-like environment. My time was short so I didn’t get a chance to really dive in, but I did get a chance to talk to a lot of the programs and understand their goals and passion for improving the Soldier experience for the products they are crafting. My plans are to continue to network and connect, and to work in environments that are passionate about user-centered products." Thank you, Tony, for choosing PEO Enterprise and the U.S. Army. All the best in your new ventures! #USArmy | #PEOEnterprise | #PEOEnterpriseTeammateTuesday | #TeammateTuesday | #ArmyTeam | #uiuxdesign Bill Hepworth, Michael Chappell

At PEO Enterprise, which is now over two years into its Agile transformation, several enterprise software programs are already in the execution phase of the DOD’s Software Acquisition Pathway (SWP), which is designed to facilitate rapid and iterative delivery of software capability to users. This year, two additional programs within PEO Enterprise’s Integrated Personnel and Pay System – Army portfolio are bound for the pathway. The sister programs have vastly different missions and SWP approaches but are looking to each other and other PEO Enterprise programs for best practices and lessons learned as they approach the critical execution phase. #usarmy #peoenterprise #AgileArmy #ArmyAcquisition ASA(ALT)

SOURCES SOUGHT/RFI ANNOUNCEMENT: Your feedback is requested! The Army Contracting Command – Rock Island has officially released a Sources Sought/Request for Information (RFI) for Next Generation Transponders II on behalf of our Product Lead Logistics Information Systems (LIS).

LIS TEAM HELPS IMPROVE READINESS, EFFICIENCY OF ARMY’S ORGANIC INDUSTRIAL BASE Our Logistics Information Systems (LIS) team recently installed permanent mesh radio frequency identification (RFID) tags on assets at Sierra Army Depot (SIAD) in Herlong, California to improve asset visibility and reduce manhours to conduct inventory. SIAD, part of the Organic Industrial Base overseen by Army Materiel Command’s Tank-Automotive and Armaments Command, is critical to Army readiness, performing a wide variety of long-term logistics and sustainment missions ranging from equipment receipt and asset visibility to long-term care, storage and sustainment, to repair/reset all Army fuel and water systems. ? LIS implemented the permanent RFID tags following an assessment of prototype tags at a small section of the yard last summer. The assessment was funded by the Office of the Secretary of Defense’s Rapid Sustainment Improvement Program,?which aims to improve the readiness and capabilities of the U.S. defense industrial base by addressing supply chain vulnerabilities and promoting innovative solutions for sustainment.?Through this?program, the department can prioritize and resource commercially available?sustainment?technologies that demonstrate positive returns on investment and can be scaled quickly to improve availability and lower operations and?sustainment?costs. ? LIS, part of U.S. Army PEO Enterprise’s Army Data and Analytics Platforms portfolio, was selected to conduct the assessment because of its expertise in RFID tags as part of its In-Transit Visibility Management Service capability. ? #USArmy #PEOEnterprise #ArmyReadiness #ArmyLogistics ??
