The Information System Integration ES bundle seamlessly integrates third-party geospatial information systems (GIS), such as ESRI ArcGIS, command and control information systems (CCIS), and SAP ERP on a single collaborative platform. Consequently, public security and defense organizations can see the real-time locations of various people, units, and equipment in their GIS system, thanks to Global Positioning System (GPS) technology, while getting updates from SAP ERP with details about the current status and capabilities of those units, also updated in real-time as needed using enterprise services. With this bundle, users can create, maintain, and edit the relationships of organizational units (referred to in enterprise SOA terms as Functional Units) in public security and defense organizations (such as, for instance, brigades, companies, and platoons), deployed or otherwise. In addition, they can read, change, and update the attributes of positions, personnel, and materials within these units. Three main processes are enabled with the deployment of this ES bundle. They include: Executing an initial data load for geospatial and command and control information systems Displaying status information about available resources on demand or on regular basis Allocating resources to consumers. Information System Integration (click to enlarge) The Information System Integration ES bundle can greatly enhance the day-to-day operations of national and international public services, defense, and security organizations, as well as emergency management organizations that must deal with natural disasters, terrorist attacks, and other civil crises. Any industry striving to increase the efficiency of their resource management, particularly those deploying Functional Units, such as military organizations and police, fire, and medical departments, for instance, will benefit from the services in this bundle. The needs of defense organizations and public services organizations overlap to a great extent. While the examples given in this wiki may describe one or the other, bear in mind that this ES bundle is designed to support both the types of organizational structures that exists in public services organizations (police forces, fire departments, SWAT teams, medical personnel such EMTs, and so forth) as well as those of defense organizations. Examples from one or the other industry may be given, but the services can be deployed effectively in either environment. Some of the roles that may benefit from the system integration offered by this bundle include: Commanding officers Interaction center agents GIS and CCIS users Military leaders of operational tasks. The System Landscape. The Information System Integration ES bundle leverages enterprise SOA through communications between SAP ERP 6.0, SAP Defense Forces and Public Security (DFPS) 6.0, and third-party GIS and CCIS such as ESRI ArcGIS and others. SAP DFPS component enhances the standard SAP functions by providing functions for the following business tasks and processes: Organizational Flexibility (mapping organizational structures and material and personnel resource planning) The different business processes of armed forces, police, and aid organizations (organization, Human Resources Management, Materials Management, Maintenance, and so on) run along organizational structures. Each organizational element (department or unit, for example): Has certain properties, responsibilities, tasks, and missions Requires personnel, material, and financial resources in order to perform its tasks Is included in different organizational structures (organizational structure, command and support relationships, and so on) and works in conjunction with other organizational elements in accordance with the relationships thereby defined You can use the functions in the Organizational Flexibility area of the Defense Forces & Public Security component to map these organizational bases and to carry out your resource planning. This complete and integrated mapping provides you with the required basis in the system to: Control processes in Human Resources, Logistics, Accounting, and Funds Management Enable organizational changes to take effect automatically in the relevant processes Enable you to plan and execute operations and exercises from the domestic base Accounting and Funds Management The Defense Forces & Public Security component provides armed forces, police, and aid organizations with the functions they need to carry out account assignment and budgeting for objects in the domestic base and operations in a distributed system landscape. Materials Management In the Defense Forces & Public Security component, Materials Management (MM) supports you when supplying armed forces, police, and aid organizations with non-consumable, individual consumable, and bulk consumable goods. Material planners and MRP controllers can plan and carry out initial supplies and other supplies for the domestic base as well as for operations and exercises. All tasks relating to supplies can be carried out in a distributed system landscape. Support for Flight Operations The Support for Flight Operations area supports processes carried out by airborne units in the domestic base, operations, and exercises. This includes the planning, control, and coordination of flight operations, the execution and control of maintenance, and administration. As a result, you can execute flights, from planning through to technical debriefing. Maintenance The Maintenance area of the Defense Forces & Public Security (DFPS) component supports armed forces, police, and aid agencies in performing maintenance tasks in the domestic base, operations, and exercises and enables the consistent distribution of maintenance data in a multi-system landscape. Terminology in the Information System Integration ES Bundle. Since this bundle may be deployed by users working in any number of organizations or industries where terminology describing objects that are common to all occasionally varies, some terminology has been standardized to promote simplicity and clarity. The Functional Unit business object is used by services that reference solution-specific data. In contrast, the Organisational Centre business object is used by services that reference solution-unspecific data. Within the industry solution SAP for Defense & Security the Functional Unit business object represents an organizational element of armed forces, police, and aid organizations. Within this industry solution you use the Functional Unit business object to map the business characteristics of organizational elements, mainly human resources management, accounting, materials management, plant maintenance, and flight operations. You map the relationships between Functional Units to represent the hierarchical or functional structures of your organization. The term Force Element is a specialization of Functional Unit in SAP Module 'EA-DFPS'.
