If it were a business, the U.S. Army would rank near the top of the Fortune Global 500, with an annual budget of more than $100 billion, a personnel roster of more than 1.5 million and a mission that's all about high performance. Soon, the Army will take financial accountability to the next level and enable total cost management, thanks to a streamlined financial solution implemented by Accenture. The new solution—powered by SAP software—will be among the largest systems of its kind, with more than 79,000 users, and will replace the capabilities of more than 80 Army legacy systems. By managing financial assets with greater accuracy and visibility, it will help support the Army's most important assets: the soldiers in the field.
