# Navy and Army Modernize Business Systems

Navy and Army leaders are pursuing business-system modernization to reduce legacy IT costs and cyber risk, automate administrative workflows, and accelerate software delivery. The effort includes retiring standalone and duplicative systems and consolidating cloud and data environments, but the report identifies no solicitation, contract value, or procurement contact.

- Contractors may find future work in legacy-system decommissioning, workflow automation, cloud and data consolidation, and DevSecOps testing; these are potential areas of demand, not announced procurements.
- The modernization priorities point to opportunities for firms with experience integrating enterprise systems while maintaining cybersecurity and operational readiness.
- Businesses should map their relevant capabilities to the Navy’s and Army’s stated modernization needs; the signal provides no specific bid timeline or contracting vehicle.
