Overview
Global Combat Support System – Army (GCSS-Army) is one program with two components. The first component, GCSS-Army Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Solution, is an automated information system that serves as the primary tactical logistics enabler supporting Army and Joint transformation for sustainment. The program re-engineers current business processes to achieve end-to-end logistics and integration with applicable command and control (C2) and Joint systems. The second component, Army Enterprise Systems Integration Program (AESIP), formerly known as Product Lifecycle Management Plus, integrates Army business functions by providing a single source for enterprise hub services, master data and business intelligence. GCSS-Army uses commercial off-the-shelf ERP software products to support rapid force projection in the battlefield functional areas of arming, fixing, fueling, sustaining and tactical logistics financial processes.
