CALS ‐ a strategy for business engineering

Abstract

CALS is a strategy developed by government and industry over the past ten years to use information technology and international standards to enable improvements in business processes. The approach consists of a logical framework which has both a technical segment and a management segment. Additional components in the strategy include the development of models, defining visions, and capturing the work effort in an executable implementation plan. Part of the implementation plan should be a deployment template or guide which enables a totally successful completion of the business process improvement activity. Uses successful examples of CALS implementation activities from the US Army and US Navy to demonstrate the power of the strategy and the enabling technology.
