WEBVTT 00:12.100 --> 00:14.750 More than $48 billion in goods and 00:14.760 --> 00:17.299 services . This is how much the defense 00:17.309 --> 00:19.531 logistics agency provides its customers 00:19.531 --> 00:22.399 in any given year ? Impressive . Right . 00:22.819 --> 00:25.440 DL A is the nation's combat logistics 00:25.450 --> 00:27.700 support agency . And the mission is to 00:27.709 --> 00:29.876 deliver readiness and lethality to the 00:29.876 --> 00:32.220 war fighter always and support the 00:32.229 --> 00:34.979 nation through quality proactive global 00:34.990 --> 00:37.240 logistics . To meet the mission takes 00:37.250 --> 00:40.979 data . A lot of data . What is 00:40.990 --> 00:44.040 data ? It's information such as facts 00:44.049 --> 00:46.040 and numbers that we use to analyze 00:46.049 --> 00:48.759 something or make decisions to meet the 00:48.770 --> 00:51.669 demand for information . DL A is going 00:51.680 --> 00:53.624 through a digital transformation , 00:53.770 --> 00:57.090 rethinking old operating models and 00:57.099 --> 00:59.220 embracing new digital technology to 00:59.229 --> 01:01.470 become more agile and responsive to 01:01.479 --> 01:04.269 customers . The rapidly changing 01:04.279 --> 01:06.949 demands on DL A call for innovative 01:06.959 --> 01:09.709 ideas and solutions . This is where DB 01:09.769 --> 01:13.389 X comes in . DVX is not a technology 01:13.400 --> 01:15.720 implementation budget or development 01:15.730 --> 01:18.220 plan . It's aligning business and the 01:18.230 --> 01:20.099 technology process is to drive 01:20.110 --> 01:22.400 continued success at delivering value 01:22.410 --> 01:26.220 to DLAS customers . Still unsure what 01:26.230 --> 01:29.080 DVX is . Take a look at this . You want 01:29.089 --> 01:30.970 to build a house , this requires 01:30.980 --> 01:32.758 relationships with a variety of 01:32.758 --> 01:35.650 contractors . You decide if you want to 01:35.660 --> 01:38.569 be a customer or a partner . If you're 01:38.580 --> 01:40.636 a customer , you get the keys to the 01:40.636 --> 01:42.691 house after it's built . If you're a 01:42.691 --> 01:44.747 partner , you get the opportunity to 01:44.747 --> 01:47.699 say I want my kitchen here . I want my 01:47.709 --> 01:51.010 bedroom this big , I want a pool and I 01:51.019 --> 01:54.139 want my house painted pink . So for DB 01:54.160 --> 01:56.639 X , we're looking for partners , not 01:56.650 --> 02:00.190 just customers through DB XDL A 02:00.199 --> 02:02.366 employees now have access to data that 02:02.366 --> 02:04.120 drives deliberate decisions as 02:04.129 --> 02:07.379 situations occur . Real time . Data is 02:07.389 --> 02:09.779 golden for logistics . Remember when 02:09.789 --> 02:12.011 you couldn't find basic supplies in the 02:12.011 --> 02:13.900 grocery store during the COVID-19 02:13.900 --> 02:16.122 pandemic , this is a perfect example of 02:16.122 --> 02:18.429 how data planners needed data to meet 02:18.440 --> 02:20.551 the needs of the nation . In the same 02:20.551 --> 02:23.119 way . DL A needs access to real time 02:23.130 --> 02:25.330 data so we can meet the critical needs 02:25.339 --> 02:29.300 of our war fighters . Remember DB 02:29.309 --> 02:31.759 X is not an actual it product with a 02:31.770 --> 02:34.179 projected delivery date . It's a 02:34.190 --> 02:37.160 mindset . It's about giving all of team 02:37.169 --> 02:39.470 DL A the opportunity to leverage new 02:39.479 --> 02:41.789 technology to make better data driven 02:41.800 --> 02:44.750 decisions . Innovation in logistics is 02:44.759 --> 02:46.815 key to the nation's ability to deter 02:46.820 --> 02:49.470 aggression as it meets new and growing 02:49.479 --> 02:52.110 threats . In the end , it's all about 02:52.119 --> 02:53.360 powering the mission .
