Creating New Civil Engineering Tools for the U.S. Air Force Civil Engineer Information Technology Transformation System

Overview

SAIC developed an automated system to replace the paper forms associated with the U.S. Air Force’s Work Request, Work Clearance, and Environmental Impact Analysis Process requests, coined civil engineering (CE) Tools. The CE Tools application allowed U.S. Air Force base Civil Engineer and Asset Management offices to transition from a time-consuming, staff-dependent, paper-driven process to a web-based, automated process with a transparent system.

"The application makes U.S. Air Force jobs easier and will provide efficiencies in how the U.S. Air Force identifies and approves work requirements at its bases."
- Karen Pearson, SAIC project manager

CE Tools allows for 100 percent visibility for all users, providing live status updates. Data is t standardized, seamless, authoritative, real time, and available 24/7/365, providing accurate and timely information to make decisions for strategic planning. In addition, CE Tools can be tailored to most business processes. By simply understanding the needs and roles of the users involved, SAIC developed an application to accommodate the process, business rules, and flexibilities the U.S. Air Force needed and provided increased efficiency and capacity to the U.S. Air Force’s internal requests.
