Aerospace & Defense

Aerospace and Defense Programs involve collaboration between multiple global organizations and involve the coordination of internal resources and suppliers providing parts across the supply chain. Fulfilling the A&D organization’s contractual obligations requires the management and effective administration of complex data. However, A&D programs consistently run over time and budget. These facts are supported by a recent government study which found that out of 95 programs, 40 percent were over budget and only one third were delivered on schedule. In addition, the shift in government contracts from Cost Plus to Performance Based negatively affects cash flow. Organizations are therefore incented to keep programs within schedule and budget and ensure that performance information is accurately delivered on-time.

The primary reason these programs get delayed is that the information needed to support them is difficult to access as it is contained in siloed Operational Systems. Manual processes end up being created to offset these IT deficiencies, exacerbating the problem. This causes difficulties in program scheduling, budgeting, contract management, cost control, and forecasting. Successful program managers need the capability to control the different complex resources and their dependencies while managing the program’s requirements and inherent risks.

The Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub™ integrates all program information into a single source of truth enabling the A&D program to stay within budget and on schedule. Siperian delivers maximum flexibility, interoperability and reliability. This solution gives program managers the needed visibility and control to deliver projects successfully, operate efficiently and improve profitability. It centralizes the creation and maintenance of program information in a central repository, across data entities and delivers measurable benefits.

Effective A&D programs require one system that integrates multidomain master data, providing real-time flow of information. Siperian empowers organizations to plan the work, assign resources, accurately forecast completion dates, report to stakeholders and streamline the effort of global teams. Using Siperian Multidomain MDM Hub, those challenges that have stretched schedules and increased costs can be dramatically reduced.
