Origin
The Secretary of Defense established the Business Management Modernization Program (BMMP) in order to develop a DoD-wide enterprise architecture and transition plan to transform Defense business operations and technical infrastructure.

BMMP Executive Committee Co-Chair
· The Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller) and the DoD CIO

BMMP Steering Committee Co-Chair
· The Principal Deputy Undersecretary of Defense (Comptroller) and the Deputy DoD CIO

BMMP Domain Owners Integration Team (DO/IT)
· The BMMP team completed a high-level to-be Business Enterprise Architecture
· Each Domain will refine the portion of the BEA architecture within their purview
· DASN (Acq) is working with the Director of Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP), to ensure that DON Acquisition requirements are met by this refined architecture.

Current Scope
The BMMP was derived from the need for integrated business transformation. As quoted from the BMMP Program Overview:

"Our current business processes, practices, and systems are expensive to maintain and operate, poorly integrated, and are stove-piped. They do not provide the warfighter and key decision makers with the information they need when they need it."

The BMMP is the DoD's commitment to improve the state of business and financial problems that currently affect business transformation efforts across all DoD agencies. Business transformation is one of the DoD's top ten priorities, as stated by The Secretary of Defense, Donald Rumsfeld.

Future Impact
The BMMP's implementation is intended to be implemented through an incremental approach that will help to achieve the future state of a modern, integrated, net-centric Business environment.

Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP), as the Acquisition Domain owner, has begun gathering requirements for the refined architecture, with completion scheduled for the second quarter of fiscal year 2005.
