The Office of the Secretary of Defense
The problem:
The Office of the Secretary of Defense (OSD) and its Comptroller Office of the Undersecretary of Defense are responsible for US defense policy, planning, resource management and program evaluation. In carrying out those duties, the OSD’s day-to-day decisions impact a wide range of operations, including human resources, weapons acquisition, research, intelligence and fiscal policy across all of the US armed forces (Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force). Steering an organization of that size means data is crucial to its decision-making processes. However, ensuring decision makers have access to the right data, can trust in its accuracy and understand its context is by no means a simple task.
The solution:
Recognizing the challenge, the Director of the CFO Data Transformation Office partnered with Collibra to launch their Advana (Advancing Analytics) Data Catalog to create a centralized platform to support data and analytics across the organization. The Advana program is still relatively nascent, but has already made significant strides in its mission, with the team tracking key performance indicators to ensure they remain on the right path and can measure their progress.
