US Department of the Air Force adopts Oracle cloud apps for operations

LAS VEGAS - The United States Department of the Air Force (DAF) has implemented Oracle Fusion Cloud Applications to streamline its business processes and advance digital transformation efforts, according to a press release issued Wednesday. Oracle, with its $852.39 billion market capitalization and position as a prominent player in the software industry according to InvestingPro, has been expanding its enterprise solutions while maintaining strong revenue growth of 9.67% over the last twelve months.

The deployment includes AI-powered cloud applications for finance, human resources, and supply chain management, enabled by a new Authority to Operate at Defense Information Systems Agency Impact Level 4, which allows for secure handling of sensitive information.

A key component of the implementation is a new Boundary Cloud Access Point (BCAP), established jointly by the DAF’s Business and Enterprise Systems Directorate, the Defense Information Systems Agency, and Oracle. This secure connection enables the DAF and other Department of Defense agencies to access Oracle Fusion Applications on Oracle Cloud Infrastructure.

The cloud suite includes Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) for financial controls, Enterprise Performance Management (EPM) for decision-making, Human Capital Management (HCM) for workforce management, and Supply Chain & Manufacturing (SCM) for operations optimization.

"Oracle is committed to helping government customers achieve their modernization goals without compromising security or efficiency," said Kim Lynch, executive vice president of Government, Defense & Intelligence at Oracle, in the statement.

The implementation aligns with the Department of Defense’s software modernization strategy and supports the extension of cloud capabilities while maintaining compliance and security requirements through the Oracle US Defense Cloud.

The cloud applications provide the DAF with quarterly updates and embedded AI capabilities, which the company states will help transform personnel services and reduce administrative workload for service members.
