AFEI issues awards for best technology, leadership.

• Position: NDIA NEWS

The Association for Enterprise Integration (AFEI) honored industry and government winners of its 4th annual Excellence in Enterprise Integration Awards at a recent information-sharing conference in Washington, D.C.

The top industry award went to Computer Sciences Corporation for its Logistics Modernization Program. The LMP--developed by Computer Sciences in collaboration with the Army Materiel Command and the German company, SAP--uses enterprise resource planning technology to help the Defense Department implement the kinds of supply-chain planning innovations developed by private industry.

Singled out among government projects was the Air Army Distributed Learning System, operated by the Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems. Distributed learning helps the Army maintain combat readiness and assists soldiers and civilian workers to stabilize their personal and professional lives.

Honorable mentions were awarded to McDonald Bradley Inc., for its creation of the federated search for the Defense Department's Horizontal Fusion Portfolio Program, and to the Office of Personnel Management for its Enterprise Human Resource Integration, an electronic data-management system.

AFEI received over 50 nominations for the awards, which go to those organizations demonstrating the best applications of technology and leadership to improve enterprise performance.

Nominations for the 2007 awards open in May. For more information, go to www.afei.org.
