The CIO 700-Day plan directs the agency to continue in its good legacy and moving it to great. During the previous 700 days, USACE has been preparing and starting to transition to an enterprise-wide service model with customer-focused service levels to ensure information and systems reliable, available, and secure. It has also grown its IT capital planning and investment management process towards improving the selection, management and evaluation of IT investments. CECI is completing its implementation of a single online enterprise quality management program to measure the execution of Information Management and Information Technology services.
USACE’s global reach directly and positively impacts COCOMs, the Army, and the Nation. In addition to improving USACE’s ability to deliver mission capabilities, the CECI organization is using information technology (IT) to execute The Presidents’ directive on Transparency in Government. Some key areas from the directive addressed through IM/IT investment include:
- Government is Participatory – IM/IT Initiatives promote the distribution of information and enable all members of the USACE community to access relevant and accurate information.
- Government is Transparent – IM/IT initiatives open USACE projects, research events, and business processes so that all stakeholders con participate in all levels of USACE decisions.
- Government is Collaborative – IM/IT initiatives will promote communication and collaboration across all USACE and related agency research communities. Increased collaboration and communication will result in new and innovative technologies and approaches that USACE will use to promote a climate-friendly environment and help to modernize the public safety network.
CECI and ACE-IT are committed to providing consistent IM/IT products and service to USACE employees…anytime, anywhere. Locally based CECI or ACE-IT employees will have the full strength of both organizations to draw from in order to better support the local Commander, their mission, and thier employees.
