"Two of the biggest challenges in Defence and Intelligence today are the need to achieve ever more effective and efficient use of resources through the transformation of defence, and to exploit new information technology to better deliver military effect through the implementation of NEC. Both challenges are similar to the key business and information management issues already addressed in many large commercial organisations.

Given current timescale and budgetary constraints, the MOD and intelligence agencies will need to use commercial management practices and technology solutions to the maximum extent possible to ensure success; integrating those solutions within a broad national and international context. By combining its considerable experience of working together with the MOD, the intelligence agencies and their industry partners with our expertise gained with commercial organisations, IBM can harness these commercial approaches for military benefit. We do this in key areas such as:

• C4 ISTAR
• Resource and asset management (e.g. Financial resources, estates, human capital, acquisition support)
• Logistics
• Communications and information services.

We integrate people, processes and technology using our expertise in business consultancy, systems integration and outsourcing. This is underpinned by our huge investment in information technology and business research and development. To these capabilities we bring a partnering approach and innovative solutions to deliver what we say we will and so ensure that your project and programme goals are met and sustained.
