The LMP stands at the center of the Army's business transformation initiatives
and delivers real-time situational awareness and decision-making capabilities.
With the LMP, the Army is able to supply and provide service to warfighters
more quickly and cost effectively.

"The LMP reduces the logistics footprint needed to sustain the warfighter and
improves supply chain effectiveness throughout the Army," said James W.
Sheaffer, president of CSC's North American Public Sector line of business.
"With the LMP, the Army has increased asset visibility, enhanced data accuracy
and integrity, improved reporting and integrated financial management
capabilities that enable supply planners and leadership to make strategic
decisions about logistics operations in real time." 

CSC won the LMP contract in 1999 to provide a fully integrated suite of
software and business processes. As prime contractor, CSC is the program
manager, systems integrator, applications service provider and full partner
working in collaboration with the AMC. The LMP interfaces with more than 70
Department of Defense systems, manages a multi-billion dollar inventory with
tens of thousands of vendors and handles 2.5 million transactions daily. 

In 2006, the LMP received the Excellence in Enterprise Integration Award from
the Association for Enterprise Integration and an honorable mention for
Military Logistics Program of the Year from the Institute for Defense and
Government Advancement. In 2007, CSC was named a winner of the InfoWorld 100
Award for the LMP. The annual awards honor information technology projects
that demonstrate the most creative use of cutting-edge technologies to serve
well-defined business goals.
