TODAY'S FOCUS
U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information Systems

U.S. Army Program Executive Office for Enterprise Information  
Systems, headquartered at Fort Belvoir, VA, is responsible for a  
variety of Information Technology hardware and software needs which  
support the Army and DOD, primarily in Combat Service Support arenas.  
Today we highlight Project Managers in PEO EIS Finance and Logistics.

Logistics Information Systems are leading the charge to transform and  
provide robust and accurate logistics data throughout the supply  
chain. A part of LIS, the Movement Tracking System facilitates real  
time communications between vehicles and their command centers. Click  
to learn more about LIS.

Transportation Information Systems is designed for movement planning,  
mobility and transportation of DOD passengers and cargo as Unit Motor  
Officers have an array of vehicles to assemble before deployment.

And, the Army has never had a single source for property inventory  
and financial management – that is until now. General Fund Enterprise  
Business Systems, by presidential mandate, is designed to provide the  
Army with the industry’s best financial business practices. Click to

The Logistics Modernization Program has just been transferred to PEO  
EIS. LMP along with LIS projects will make up the SALE (Single Army  
Logistics Enterprise). The SALE enhances Warfighter operations and  
supports the Army supply chain. The DPEO for Finance & Logistics is  
also the (Acting) Program Manager for the SALE.

PEO EIS is making a difference. Our 3,000 government and contractor  
personnel are committed and involved. PEO EIS systems are shaping the  
technological battlefield 24/7. We are the largest PEO in the Army  
and have the most personnel of any PEO support Operations Iraqi and  
Enduring Freedom. The I.T. community understands that PEO EIS is  
taking knowledge across the information spectrum and turning it into  
action. But most importantly is how we provide the bottom line. Tell  
us what you think about PEO EIS products and services. Tell us how we  
can support the Warfighter even more effectively.
