Situation
Combat forces need collaboration tools and accessibility they can depend on. Commanders also need more security and confidence while they work in planning rooms around the globe. The alliance between the Department of Defense (DOD) and Microsoft is making the DOD secure collaboration platform a crucial resource in support of effective and timely decisions, personnel safety, and mission success.
Solution
Three solutions combine to form the DOD secure collaboration platform: Combat Collaboration, U.S. Army FusionNet, and Microsoft Groove Virtual Office. Together, they support real-time access and information sharing within the DOD, across the branches of the U.S. military, and with allied forces from other nations. Familiar Microsoft tools and capabilities allow users to tailor their access for more effective responses to unique situations.
