Background In 2001, OSD directed DLA to develop a reengineered DODAAD system that "shall provide a single authoritative source for all activity address information support real-time query and input/update.” USA and USAF had developed input/update applications with unique workflow processes. USA/USAF applications update the DODAAD via direct database to database data transfer with DAASC. No workflow in the DAASC application. Many excellent aspects to the USA and USAF workflow applications, but many disadvantages such as: data accuracy, data timeliness, lack of important data fields (e.g. the authority code), lack of standard edits, ongoing maintenance costs, and data transmission issues. DAASC, USAF and USA update applications will be demonstrated

Goals Form a working group, to explore formation of enhancing the DAASC web update application to include workflow processes for all. Capitalize on excellent work done by USA and USAF.

Concept Enhance DAASC Web Update Application to include workflow to request DoDAAC actions for approval by CSPs. Hosted at DAASC. Route request automatically to appropriate CSP for approval. Incorporate component unique work flow requirements. CAC/PKI enabled for DoD DoDAACs. Record requestor’s information for history and follow-up. Allow for attachments, such as copies of contracts for contractor DoDAACs.

Advantages Secure. Ensures authenticity of request. Creates a permanent audit trail. Improves data accuracy and timeliness. Incorporate current DAASC edits and drop down features. No need for CSP to retype data entered correctly by requestor

Advantages Continued Near real time Incorporates all existing data fields, such as the authority code. Avoids data transmission issues with AF and Army and eliminates rejects. CSP knows instantly that the record has been accepted. $$$ Saves components money in developing and maintaining distinct update applications $$$. Complies with OSD mandate for a single DoDAAC update application

Challenges and Action Challenges Cost and complexity are unknown Requires active participation, particularly USAF and USA Action Form a working group to explore this concept.
