WEBVTT 00:01.980 --> 00:04.789 More than $48 billion in goods and 00:04.800 --> 00:07.329 services . This is how much the defense 00:07.340 --> 00:09.562 logistics agency provides our customers 00:09.562 --> 00:12.279 in any given year ? Impressive . Right . 00:12.779 --> 00:15.520 DL A is the nation's Combat logistics 00:15.529 --> 00:17.920 Support agency . And our mission is to 00:17.930 --> 00:20.097 deliver readiness and lethality to the 00:20.097 --> 00:22.379 war fighter always and support our 00:22.389 --> 00:24.860 nation through quality proactive global 00:24.870 --> 00:27.200 logistics . To meet our mission takes 00:27.209 --> 00:30.950 data . A lot of data . What is 00:30.959 --> 00:33.969 data ? It's information such as facts 00:33.979 --> 00:36.258 and numbers that we use to analyze 00:36.269 --> 00:38.918 something or make decisions to meet the 00:38.929 --> 00:41.638 demand for information . DL A is going 00:41.648 --> 00:43.918 through a digital transformation . We 00:43.929 --> 00:46.569 are rethinking old operating models and 00:46.578 --> 00:49.148 embracing new digital technology to 00:49.159 --> 00:51.388 become more agile and responsive to 00:51.398 --> 00:54.500 customers . We cannot be complacent , 00:54.979 --> 00:57.290 we cannot depend on processes and the 00:57.299 --> 00:59.410 ways we've always operated because it 00:59.410 --> 01:02.209 is not fast enough . The rapidly 01:02.220 --> 01:04.419 changing demands on DL A call for 01:04.430 --> 01:07.059 innovative ideas and solutions . This 01:07.069 --> 01:10.250 is where DVX comes in in spring of 01:10.260 --> 01:13.180 2020 . The idea of DL A digital 01:13.190 --> 01:16.059 business transformation or DB X was 01:16.069 --> 01:19.279 born as a strategy to modernize DL A SI 01:19.290 --> 01:22.650 T infrastructure . It is also important 01:22.660 --> 01:24.882 to note this transformation is business 01:24.882 --> 01:27.470 driven and that every employee in DL A 01:27.480 --> 01:29.529 has a vested interest in successful 01:29.540 --> 01:33.129 modernization . DVX is not a 01:33.139 --> 01:35.529 technology implementation budget or 01:35.540 --> 01:37.480 development plan . It's aligning 01:37.489 --> 01:39.730 business and the technology processes 01:39.739 --> 01:41.459 to drive continued success at 01:41.470 --> 01:43.910 delivering value to our customers . It 01:43.919 --> 01:46.150 is also a culture shift that requires 01:46.160 --> 01:49.949 your buy in and involvement . So 01:49.970 --> 01:52.620 what's in it for you ? DB X is about 01:52.629 --> 01:54.849 making jobs easier through innovative 01:54.860 --> 01:57.269 technology . It enables you to gain new 01:57.279 --> 01:59.168 abilities so you can grow in your 01:59.168 --> 02:01.550 career . DVX improves business 02:01.559 --> 02:03.910 processes , makes jobs efficient , 02:04.199 --> 02:06.532 allows you to use your time efficiently . 02:06.532 --> 02:08.643 So you can focus on critical issues . 02:08.759 --> 02:11.820 And most importantly , DVX will improve 02:11.830 --> 02:14.960 our support of the war fighter . This 02:14.970 --> 02:17.026 is an opportunity . Think about your 02:17.026 --> 02:19.300 cell phone . Did you initially resist 02:19.309 --> 02:22.729 it or embrace it ? And now look at us , 02:23.139 --> 02:24.806 it's all how you look at it . 02:28.100 --> 02:30.949 Still unsure what DVX is . Take a look 02:30.960 --> 02:33.350 at this . You want to build a house , 02:33.509 --> 02:35.550 this requires relationships with a 02:35.559 --> 02:38.740 variety of contractors . You decide if 02:38.750 --> 02:41.028 you want to be a customer or a partner . 02:41.419 --> 02:43.641 If you're a customer , you get the keys 02:43.641 --> 02:45.586 to the house after it's built . If 02:45.589 --> 02:47.311 you're a partner , you get the 02:47.311 --> 02:49.440 opportunity to say I want my kitchen 02:49.449 --> 02:51.929 here . I want my master bedroom , this 02:51.940 --> 02:55.199 big , I want a pool and I want my house 02:55.210 --> 02:58.860 painted pink . So for DB X , we're 02:58.869 --> 03:00.669 looking for partners , not just 03:00.679 --> 03:03.059 customers , we want your input and 03:03.070 --> 03:05.126 needs to be taken into consideration 03:05.479 --> 03:07.970 every member of team DL A counts 03:08.190 --> 03:10.270 whatever you do in DL A , you're a 03:10.279 --> 03:13.130 partner in the whole effort . Sounds 03:13.139 --> 03:15.589 cool . Right . You get to be a part of 03:15.600 --> 03:17.822 the decision making process and have it 03:17.822 --> 03:21.080 your way . Are you getting excited 03:21.330 --> 03:24.229 through DVXDL A employees now have 03:24.240 --> 03:26.351 access to data that drives deliberate 03:26.351 --> 03:29.399 decisions as situations occur . Real 03:29.410 --> 03:31.759 time . Data is golden for logistics . 03:32.119 --> 03:34.230 Remember when you couldn't find basic 03:34.230 --> 03:36.286 supplies in the grocery store during 03:36.286 --> 03:38.175 the COVID-19 pandemic , this is a 03:38.175 --> 03:40.230 perfect example of how data planners 03:40.230 --> 03:42.397 needed data to meet the demands of the 03:42.397 --> 03:44.830 nation . In the same way . DL A needs 03:44.839 --> 03:47.539 access to real time data so we can meet 03:47.550 --> 03:49.828 the critical needs of our war fighters . 03:51.070 --> 03:54.089 Remember DVX is not an actual it 03:54.100 --> 03:56.399 product with a projected delivery date . 03:56.789 --> 03:59.580 It's a mindset . It's about giving all 03:59.589 --> 04:01.720 of team DL A the opportunity to 04:01.729 --> 04:04.270 leverage new technology to make better 04:04.279 --> 04:06.929 data driven decisions . Innovation and 04:06.940 --> 04:08.820 logistics is key to the nation's 04:08.830 --> 04:11.160 ability to deter aggression as it meets 04:11.169 --> 04:14.000 new and growing threats . In the end , 04:14.250 --> 04:16.480 it's all about powering the mission .
