Unfortunately, many agencies are still working with a mix of incompatible legacy applications that have taken years to develop, require intense maintenance, and are not keeping up with the growth of technology. Further, these applications sometimes fail to integrate relevant and up-to-date data from multiple sources.

DefenseReady, a fully integrated suite of business solutions tailored specifically for U.S. Department of Defense agencies, brings your information and operational applications together to help you manage critical business disciplines, such as:

• Personnel and force structure.
• Mission command and control.
• Training and learning management.
• Funds, assets, service, and public affairs.

With DefenseReady, you can:

• Boost productivity. Full integration with Microsoft Office applications, such as Microsoft Office Outlook, means your personnel can do their work in the same applications they currently use. If they can use Microsoft Office and the Internet, they can use DefenseReady.
• Make better decisions. By developing a rich store of historical organizational information, you can put accurate information at the fingertips of those who need it, and you can easily run specific queries and reports. You will have the information you need to help you make more informed decisions.
• Work from anywhere. Offline data access and mobility options help your users stay up to date and keep projects moving forward—even when the users are away from their workstations.
• Improve security. Role-based security makes it easier for you to keep your data secure by defining which parts of the software each user can access.
• Leverage existing investments. A service-oriented architecture (SOA) and tight integration with Microsoft products offer you a way to integrate your legacy applications and build on investments you’ve already made in technologies such as Microsoft Office, Microsoft SQL Server, Windows Server, and Microsoft Exchange Server.

DefenseReady solutions can help you align your organizational data with your operational needs to help your agency drive mission success.

If it’s vital to government, it’s mission critical to Microsoft.
