The Navy Convergence program's mission is to establish and standardize "To Be" Navy business processes for acquisition, financial, and logistics operations. This program consists of four pilot projects that previously introduced Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) and Advanced Planning & Scheduling (APS) to the Navy.

The program's key objectives are to build an integrated financial system that complies with financial management enterprise architecture (FMEA) requirements for all Navy commands; optimize end-to-end value chains across functional and organizational boundaries; collapse the pilot programs to produce a single product for the Navy that integrates acquisition and logistics operations ashore and afloat; create an organization that provides world-class service to the Department of the Navy; ensure the maximum deployment within budged resources; and identify additional opportunities and associated return on investment.

In the short term, the Navy, B&A, and other systems integrators staff and consultants will:

• Define and deliver a description of a proposed way of doing business,
• Provide a solution that meets the customer's requirements
• Document the detailed business processes,
• Define and document the functional specifications for integrating the current legacy Navy systems,
• Configure parameters, and
• Create test plans and scenarios

Currently, B&A provides systems integration in the Material Management planning area. B&A collaborates with the Navy consultants and employees on SAP functionality, supporting meetings where requirements are discussed and developing and testing scenarios.
