Defense Enterprise Acntng and Mgt Sys (DEAMS)

Mission — Defense Enterprise Acntng and Mgt Sys (DEAMS) source

DEAMS, an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) program built upon the commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS) solution Oracle e-Business Suite (EBS), provides a modern accounting and finance management capability with robust auditability at its core. As the Department of the Air Force's (DAF) existing core accounting and financial management solution, DEAMS represents a key component of the DAF's long-term business process improvements, addressing the Secretary of Defense's (SECDEF) priority for auditability and is the essential tool for ensuring the DAF's alignment with the SECDEF's vision for a more efficient and effective military. By providing accurate financial data, strengthening internal controls, and facilitating auditability, DEAMS empowers the DAF to meet its financial reporting obligations, maintain public trust, and ultimately contribute to a stronger national defense. Additionally, this program element uses critical financial data to enhance future program planning and execution and will provide greater transparency to defense spending, making it easier to track how funds are being used and identify potential areas for savings. This increased accountability aligns with the SECDEF's call for a clean Pentagon audit and ensures the responsible use of taxpayer dollars. FY2026 funding will support continued capability development and functionalities within the system. This includes ongoing efforts to achieve an unqualified System and Organization Controls (SOC) audit opinion, ensuring compliance with audit and transparency requirements. Funding will also enhance data integrity and automation by evolving the Treasury Direct Disburse (TDD) capability to streamline interfund transactions. System integration and interoperability will be improved by integrating Acquisition Management System (AMS) and Foreign Military Sales (FMS) accounting systems with DEAMS for improved financial visibility and reconciliation. Funding will also be used to modernize technology by upgrading the Oracle e-Business Suite (EBS) and the Oracle Analytic Server (OAS). These upgrades will enhance system performance, security, and scalability, enabling DEAMS to remain a relevant and auditable accounting system. The FY2026 funding also supports the development of the system by continuing to enhance the functionality of the logistics, payroll, asset accounting, budget distribution and personnel travel management systems creating an enterprise-wide system for seamless data flow and better tracking of resources and more accurate financial reporting. This program element replaces numerous inefficient and/or obsolete legacy systems with a single, integrated platform that standardizes financial data across the DAF. The streamlined approach ensures data consistency and accuracy, critical for reliable financial reporting and informed decision-making. This program element supports the current 17,000 users across all United States Air Force (USAF) and United States Space Force (USSF) bases worldwide, serving all Air Force and Space Force Major Commands, and Unified Commands where the DAF acts as the executive agent. The DAF will deploy DEAMS to the acquisition community to include acquisition program executive offices, laboratories, test centers, and air logistics complexes. These deployments will add an additional 4,500 users for a total of 21,500 users. DEAMS is compliant with the Clinger-Cohen Act and the DoD's Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA). This requirement supports performance of a full financial audit as required by title 10 U.S.C. Chapter 9A, Sec 240-D. This program element may include necessary civilian pay expenses required to manage, execute, and deliver weapon system capability. The use of such program's funds would be in addition to the civilian pay expenses budgeted in program element 0605827F, 0605828F, 0605829F, 0605831F, 0605832F, 0605833F, 0605898F, 0606398F. In FY24, 0.867M was expended for civilian pay expenses in this program element, and in FY25, 1.301M is forecasted for civilian pay expenses in this program element. This program is in Budget Activity 7, Operational System Development because this budget activity includes development efforts to upgrade systems that have been fielded or have received approval for full rate production and anticipate production funding in the current or subsequent fiscal year.
