What is “Unified Capabilities?” A secure suite of communications and collaboration services available to the Soldier and Army business user on any trusted device, anywhere in the world. HTTPS://WEST.ESPS.DISA.MIL/ECS
A suite of services? OK. So, what’s in and what’s out? HTTPS://WEST.ESPS.DISA.MIL/ECS
Service Areas 10 Service Areas with over 50 Primary Capabilities Globally Accessible to all CAC Holders Utilizes same tools as tactical / deployed environments Standardizes enabling management capabilities Integrated services using single identity HTTPS://WEST.ESPS.DISA.MIL/ECS
What does UC do for me? • Today: Where do I find that document? • UC: Robust Content Management. Email, documents, voicemails, chat logs, and more are collected, categorized and searchable in the DoD Private Cloud. • Today: Why can’t I collaborate with my mission partners from Army, DoD, and other Services? • UC: Globally accessible by all CAC holders. Soldiers can connect with all 3.9 million DoD personnel. • Today: These tools are different from when I was deployed. • UC: Train as you fight. Soldiers use the same tools in garrison as deployed. • Today: Is this an official record? • UC: Built-In, Policy-Compliant Records Management. All records are automatically collected, sorted, and scheduled for disposition. • Today: My connection won’t support all these enterprise services! • UC: Infrastructure Modernization. The Army is funding infrastructure improvements at bases worldwide to support UC requirements. HTTPS://WEST.ESPS.DISA.MIL/ECS
