Department of the Navy awards Navy Enterprise Resource Planning Technical Support Services Task Order
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Naval Information Warfare Systems Command (NAVWAR) awarded the Navy Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Technical Support Services (NETSS) task order Friday on behalf of the Program Executive Office for Manpower, Logistics and Business Solutions’ (PEO MLB) Navy Enterprise Business Solutions (Navy EBS) program management office, the PEO MLB said in an April 24 release.
NETSS is the lead system integrator contract for Navy ERP, the Department of the Navy’s (DON) financial system of record, managing nearly 56% of the Navy’s total obligation authority. To date, Navy ERP has been deployed to 72,000 users across six Navy systems commands.
A SeaPort-NxG Multiple Award Contract (MAC) task order, NETSS was awarded to International Business Machines (IBM) headquartered in Armonk, New York. The task order period of performance is a 12-month base and four 12-month options, as well as a single option to extend the term of the task order for six months. The total task order value is approximately $850 million.
“The award of NETSS is a major milestone in the continued maturation of Navy ERP’s capabilities,” said Edward Quick, program manager for Navy EBS. “The services provided by the NETSS task order will enable the continued migration of new commands to Navy ERP, a move that will facilitate the Navy’s ability to conduct a clean financial audit.”
In the last year, Navy EBS has consolidated and migrated seven DON commands and the Office of the Secretary of the Navy with a budget authority of $8 billion from their legacy financial systems to Navy ERP. This effort also included migrating and validating more than 4 billion transactions to Navy ERP, providing a more complete and audit-ready financial management system.
“The recent strides the Navy has made in migrating commands to Navy ERP and the award of NETSS is a testament to the strong partnership and collaboration between PEO MLB and the Assistant Secretary of the Navy for Financial Management and Comptroller [ASN(FM&C)],” said Les Hubbard, program executive officer for MLB. “Together, we are enabling the business of the Navy.”
The NETSS task order includes Information Technology (IT), Information Management (IM), large scale Systems Integration (SI) and Information Systems (IS) mission support activities. The NETSS vendor will provide services to upgrade and support Navy ERP’s capabilities including business intelligence, logistics, development, deployment and sustainment. NETSS services include data governance and analysis, business process re-engineering and management, software design and developing, and business system integration. Additionally, NETSS include process management, solution delivery and data services, which support current and future Department of Defense and DON requirements in the areas of enterprise information management services, solution engineering services, business process management services, analytics and decision support services and knowledge transfer.
The NETSS Fair Opportunity Proposal Request (FOPR) solicitation was released to all SeaPort-NxG MAC holders on Dec. 23, 2020 and proposals were due on Jan. 27, 2021.
Prior to the award of NETSS, Navy ERP’s system integrator support was provided by multiple companies via the Process Improvement, Reengineering, Management and Data Support Services (PIRMDS2) Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) MAC issued in 2016 to multiple contractors by Naval Supply Systems Command (NAVSUP) Fleet Logistics Center Norfolk.

Case Study: US Navy Enterprise Resource Planning
Business Challenge
Navy ERP’s mission is to develop and sustain a business capability that enables the Navy business enterprise to budget, account for, and audit its resources so that it can monitor and make decisions about how the resources are obtained, allocated and utilized for the benefit of the warfighter and the US taxpayer.
The vision of Navy ERP is to provide the Navy with information technology services to manage its worldwide resources: people, supply, and financials. The integration of financial and supply solutions on a single platform provides real-time data access and decision support to the Navy Enterprise.
In August 2019, Navy ERP received a technology refresh and upgraded to the SAP HANA (high performance analytic appliance) cloud-based platform resulting in more efficient operations with increased memory, additional data storage and faster processing, making it the Navy’s largest IT system to migrate to the cloud. Subsequently, in April 2020 Navy ERP transitioned from a sustainment posture to a scalable, agile development program to better support Navy auditability requirements and began migrating Navy Working Capital and General Fund commands into Navy ERP.
How We Helped
At the Department of Navy, IT Partners (ITP) provides sustainment and enhancement software development support to the Navy ERP Program Manager. As one of the largest business systems to gain DoD approval to implement a scalable agile development approach
IT Partners has been instrumental in bringing best practice agile development and release techniques based on industry best practices to the sustainment and the enhancement of Navy ERP. This approach has enabled the Navy to incremental enhance and resolve audit findings in a systematic and consistent approach.
IT Partners supported the migration of the Navy ERP infrastructure to Hana, a cloud-based operating system and database solution. The Hana platform significantly improved the efficiency of the platform and improved cyber security risk by centralizing data and infrastructure into a single solution.
IT Partners supports the site deployment to new sites that have transitioned from legacy financial management systems to Navy ERP. Transition support includes process mapping and definition, migration of reporting and visualization capabilities and end user support.
As of August 2021, IT Partners is a subcontractor to IBM for Navy ERP Technical Service Support
Project Goals
- Provide accurate, timely, and reliable financial information to decision makers
- Provide an automated environment to support the efficient production of auditable financial statements
- Support business process standardization
- Support the use of a “common language” through standardized general ledgers
- Reduce disparate IT systems
- Enhance enterprise integration
- Reduce long term IT cost
- +20% NIST Cyber Risk Scoring Improvement
- -35% Financial Management Systems Portfolio
- x30,000 Improvement in Database Response Time w/ HANA
The Results
The Navy has centralized business systems to a central authority providing opportunities to further expand the benefits of Navy ERP as an authoritative business system for the Department of Navy. The results of Navy ERP has improved the Navy’s ability to execute funds and losing the ability to expend budgeted funding. Navy ERP will be critical system to get to a clean audit opinion for the Department of the Navy, currently planned for 2027.

The 7 Best Enterprise Resource Planning Tools for Your Team in 2023
- Michaela Rollings
- May 23, 2023
Enterprise project management allows organizations and teams to deliver projects on time and on budget. Resource planning is one of the most important components of EPM, as it enables users to maximize the utilization of resources for overall project success.
Enterprise resource planning is defined as the ways in which teams, managers, or organizations identify, estimate and allocate the resources needed for a specific project. Resource planning uses data from previous projects to determine the availability of resources, so as to maximize utilization. Key elements of resource planning include capacity planning , resource allocation , and forecasting .
Capacity planning is the process of planning, scheduling, and tracking the capacity of resources within an organization. It is an essential part of resource management, as it enables users to identify the resources needed for a specific project and determine the capacity and quantity of the resources. This helps to ensure that the project is completed within the allocated time and budget.
Resource allocation is the process of allocating resources to a particular project or task. This involves assigning tasks to the appropriate resources and ensuring that the resources are deployed efficiently and effectively. By using resource management, an organization can ensure that the resources are used in an optimal manner, thus maximizing the utilization of resources.
Lastly, forecasting is another key element of resource management. Forecasting uses historical data as inputs to make informed estimates that predict the future needs of a project. This helps teams anticipate future costs, time, and even unexpected expenses that may be associated with the project, enabling them to anticipate what resources are needed to for success.
There are various enterprise resource planning systems on the market that can help your team work through capacity planning, allocation, and forecasting. Here are our top recommendations.
Hive is an enterprise project management tool that helps teams manage their projects, tasks and resources. Hive was created to improve project and task management for teams of all sizes, ranging from small start-ups to large corporations.
Resourcing is simple in Hive , because tasks and projects are an innate part of the Hive project management process. In Hive, you can easily assign tasks to team members, track progress, and identify any potential issues. It also provides automated reminders when tasks are due and real-time notifications to inform everyone of upcoming deadlines.
Hive also allows teams to break down their projects into smaller tasks, enabling them to better manage deadlines, budget and resources. Tasks can be grouped under projects, making it easier to track progress and make adjustments. To reduce miscommunication, Hive allows you to leave comments on tasks, which can be seen by all team members, allowing questions to be answered quickly and keeping everyone on the same page.
There are also dedicated Resourcing, Time tracking, and timesheet apps in Hive, which do the following:
- Track time on individual tasks (manual and automated)
- Allocate resources (team members) per project
- Set team utilization percentages
- Assign placeholders for actions and projects
- Report on all tasks and projects completed
- Adjust budgets accordingly
2. Microsoft Planner
Microsoft Planner is a resource planning tool designed for businesses and teams. It features overviews and boards that enable users to easily organize tasks, assign tasks to team members, track progress, set deadlines, and collaborate with other users in the same project.

By providing visibility into all resource needs and capacities, it makes it easier to estimate resource utilization and plan for optimal capacity utilization.
With Workday Resource Planning, organizations can better match employees to open positions quickly. It guides organizations in aligning resources with goals and for identifying opportunities to deploy resources more efficiently.
The software can help determine the number of employees required to meet current and projected workloads. It also provides organizations with historical data that helps to improve resource planning decisions. Workday Resource Planning includes workforce optimization and capacity planning tools. With these tools, healthcare organizations can ensure that they are deploying the right resources to meet each patient’s needs, instead of relying on “gut instinct.”
In conclusion, resource management plays a key role in Enterprise Project Management, as it enables users to manage, optimize, and track the utilization of resources to maximize project success. By using this tool, organizations and teams can ensure that their projects are completed within the allocated time and budget.
