U.S. Army Case Study

Emerging Sun developed a spend analysis database to help identify opportunities for contract rationalization and cost savings within the AMC Services Portfolio, and built a customized Army Sourcing Opportunity Database (ASOD) using Microsoft Access. Additionally, Emerging Sun was engaged to support the Category Management and Supplier Relationship Management functions for the US Army AMC who directly manages an annual spend of over $13 Billion in its Service Portfolio, and over $2 Billion in Secondary Items.

Spend Analysis Database Analysis:

  • Utilized input spend and contracting data from FPDS-NG, ETS and ACC in addition to hard-copy contract data and other information collected by Emerging Sun

  • Scalable design utilizing historical ETS spend but had the capability to scale to additional years of spend and portfolios

  • Provided a “one stop shop” for Army Services contract vehicle information

  • Enabled efficient identification of primary strategic sourcing opportunities

  • Included a user friendly “switchboard” that gave the AMC Services Portfolio the capability to produce real-time statistical analysis and reports

  • Data from disparate sources was organized to generate standard reports for executives to review and make decisions for consolidation and rationalization.
