Accelerated the migration schedule for SAP ERP Financial System of Record to AWS GovCloud.

Client Opportunity

The U.S. Army’s global Financial System of Record, an SAP Enterprise Resource Planning solution, required support to migrate the solution from an on-premises data warehouse to the Amazon Web Services (AWS) GovCloud.

Groundswell’s Solution

For this effort, Telesto provided all the SAP related personnel on the program team. Telesto provided professional services to the following divisions and programs within the DIBS portfolio: the Business Management Division (BMD), Operations Division, Technical Management Division (TMD), the Army Contract Writing System (ACWS) product, the General Fund Enterprise Business System (GFEBS) product, the Headquarters Army Environmental System (HQAES) product, and the Virtual Contracting Enterprise (VCE) product.

Impact Made

Due to Telesto’s thorough planning and Independent Verification and Validation (IV&V) support, this migration was completed 7 months ahead of schedule.  

  • Accelerated the schedule for successful migration. 

  • Provided robust IV&V support to ensure the integrity of GFEBS data. 

  • SAP expert personnel delivered quality professional services.


Making a Seismic Impact with SAP

  • “We will be in great shape as we continue to evolve, and I think it’s worth the energy we are putting in today to demonstrate what the art of the possible is.”

    — Hon. Robert H. McMahon
    Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment

  • “We have the ability to connect horizontally across the enterprise to create effects that otherwise we could not create.”

    — Hon. Robert H. McMahon
    Assistant Secretary of Defense for Sustainment

  • “This is a system that will facilitate and allow us to do all of the activities we need to do during all phases of transportation—it will be simple for everyone to track and coordinate movements.”

    — Luis Ramos
    Transportation Specialist, SDDC 842nd Transportation Battalion

  • “To consolidate these systems and streamline processes, Telesto Group began a journey of success and over the course of two years, Telesto TMS proved to increase visibility, reduce the need of cross system intervention for planning and execution, and enhance the auditability through integrated finance reporting and detailed charge management.”List Item

  • “This is a great thing for the DOD. It’s one system for all. We won’t be swivel chairing between systems, and it will increase visibility and lower costs.”

    Fort McCoy’s Logistics Readiness Center (LRC) Transportation Division

  • “Throughout DOD, multiple transportation systems are used, and many don’t communicate effectively with each other. Muller said the TMS prototype creates a possible “one-stop shop” where everyone can communicate in one system and improve capabilities throughout.”

  • “Telesto is a good implementation partner. When you implement a new system there’s a feeling out period between all parties involved. You go from sort of a generic capability to fine tuning it with yourself, the customer, Telesto, and Transcom to work through the process and make it more efficient. Telesto has a very good understanding of SAP’s TMS product. Connecting all the dots and adding EDI took some time, but Telesto was very responsive to getting all of that done.”
