Acquisition StrategyProduct Manager AcqBusiness was established to acquire a centrally managed and funded suite of standard net-centric business capabilities in order to provide Armyacquisition practitioners the data visibility necessary to optimize the acquisition of supplies, services, and materiel for the Warfighter. PM AcqBusiness is using anevolutionary acquisition strategy to acquire the capabilities specified in the PM AcqBusiness requirements document in order to realize benefits early and reduce risk.The full range of PM AcqBusiness Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) services will be achieved through an evolutionary implementation of individual components,each delivered within 180 day increments of time. Each service is designed to federate cleanly with and leverage the capabilities provided by other SOA environmentsby leveraging an open-standards based approach to design. Each PM AcqBusiness SOA service will implement new functionality, and may or may not utilize otheralready published SOA services. Each service capability will be tested and then made available to consumers throughout the acquisition community and the Army.This approach minimizes the cost incurred for testing the system, as well as minimizes release transition impacts on users. PM AcqBusiness is using an evolutionaryacquisition approach, incorporating the use of commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) hardware and software, and custom developed software to meet Army requirements.In this approach, the maintenance release will be streamlined to expedite the fielding of a particular PM AcqBusiness software fix or upgrade. Maintenance releaseswill be installed on an "as needed" basis after testing and approval by PM AcqBusiness. This approach minimizes the time required to deliver new capabilities tousers. The PM AcqBusiness acquisition approach embraces the tenets of Subtitle III of Title 40, U.S.C. (Formerly the Clinger-Cohen Act of 1996). As such, the PMAcqBusiness is: (1) performing Business Process Reengineering (BPR) in advance of development of AcqBusiness capabilities. AcqBusiness is primarily aboutchanging how the acquisition business functions are done in the Army; (2) encouraging the purchase of commercial products and innovations from private industry;(3) involving potential suppliers of SOA technology early in the requirements generation process; (4) employing outsourcing wherever possible; and (5) acquiring theAcqBusiness capabilities in interoperable modules, leveraging the evolutionary acquisition approach.E.
