Appian Secures Subcontract with Forge Group, LLC to Modernize US Army's Foreign Military Sales Case Management System
MCLEAN, Va., Oct. 30, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Appian (Nasdaq: APPN) is proud to announce an expansion of its ongoing partnership with the US Army as part of the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) Army Case Execution System (ACES) production delivery contract. The FMS-ACES contract has been awarded to Forge Group, LLC (Forge) with Appian as the platform provider. The solution combines the Appian Platform with AWS services available on cArmy. Horizon Industries, Limited and 540.co join the implementation team.
The FMS-ACES application will replace the Army's over 30-year-old Case Information System (CISIL). The Appian Platform will modernize and streamline the Army's FMS process, managing everything from case initiation and lifecycle management to case closeout, logistics, and financials. The application will provide Army users with automated workflow and process features, comprehensive data analysis and visualization capabilities, real-time connections to over 20 government data source systems, and detailed reporting capability.
The new system will support approximately 1,000 users with about 600 concurrent users, including case managers, logisticians, financial personnel, and audit staff. This modernization effort will not only enhance efficiency and accuracy but also provide the Army with real-time data analysis and visualization capabilities, empowering better decision-making to more efficiently respond to essential tasks for national security objectives.
"The modernization of our Foreign Military Sales case management system is a critical step in ensuring the efficiency and effectiveness of our operations. Appian's platform provides the robust, flexible, and data-driven capabilities we need to manage the complexities of the FMS process," said Kelly Rutherford, Product Lead, FMS-ACES, United States Army. "This new system will not only streamline our workflows but also enhance our ability to make informed decisions in real time, ultimately supporting our mission to deliver superior service to our global partners."
Forge, the technology and security cooperation-focused global consulting, brings a deep understanding of the nuanced FMS Case Lifecycle, and complex expertise in delivering rapid, intelligent digital solutions. As the delivery partner, Horizon Industries will use its 15 years of Appian experience and agile methodologies to support implementation.
