ICS Technology Service for Secure Solutions

The Army's current push is toward Information Technology Portfolio Management (ITPfM), an effort to optimize DoD IT investment. The Army has implemented the Army Portfolio Management Solution (APf MS) to facilitate the collection and analysis of information necessary to prioritize the thousands of IT investments within its portfolio.

IT Portfolio Management is closely aligned with enterprise architectures, which have been developed within the Business Mission Area. The Army's current focus is on selecting the areas with greatest possible impact to the warfighter, greatest potential savings from elimination of duplicative and redundant systems, and executing the intensive analysis required to optimize those areas.

Operating within the economic constraints defined by our national resources, the Army must adapt to overcome future threats and develop ways to win "the long war" against a continuously changing set of threats. Therefore, Army Transformation requires services providing them with an IT infrastructure which is more agile, flexible and cost-effective. ITPfM is critical because it provides the mechanism by which the Army will achieve the agile, rapidly adaptable, and cost-effective IT infrastructure that is imperative to support our Soldiers.

At ICS, our understanding of the Army's initiatives driving a transformed, fully integrated IT infrastructure puts us in the right position to fully support the warfighter and have a direct impact on soldiers in the field.
