Summer has just begun, and it's already been a busy season filled with transitioning leaders here at PEO EIS.

ACC-Rock Island released a DRAFT Prototype Project Opportunity Notice (PPON) and Statement of Need to receive industry comment and feedback on the Army's approach for an Enterprise Business Systems - Convergence (EBS-C) Prototype Project.

PEO EIS' Cyber Directorate — responsible for supporting the acquisition organization’s cybersecurity needs — recently collaborated with PEO Soldier on a professional development exercise designed to provide the PEO Soldier workforce with insight into the U.S. Army Network Enterprise Technology Command (NETCOM) Risk Management Framework/Authority to Operate assessment criteria.

Lt. Col. LJ Freeland is tenacious. “I won't give up,” Freeland, the Army Data Platform’s new product manager, said. “I was the worst possible West Point cadet you could probably imagine. I was young and immature, but I still made it because I did not give up. And that's how things have worked throughout my career. If there is a big project or something that has to be done, I will be there until the bitter end to make sure it gets done. I will stick around and push to get a product as perfect as possible before it leaves my hands.”

PEO EIS’ Army Data and Analytics Platforms (ARDAP) project management office hosted a relinquishment of charter ceremony June 2 for its Automated Movement and Identification Solutions (AMIS) product office, whose two major programs are now integrated with ARDAP’s Logistics Information Systems (LIS) product office.

On June 14 — the day the Army celebrated its 247th birthday — PEO EIS held a change of charter ceremony for its Defense Integrated Business Systems (DIBS) project management office (PMO).
