Resource Planning (ERP) strategy and is a highly integrated ERP
solution for all financial, materiel acquisition and support
(including life cycle management), and partial human resource or

DRMIS is currently deployed throughout DND. DGLEPM is
responsible for the CAF implementation of the land engineering
and maintenance functionality and DLEPS 8 leads on this

and supporting business processes for DGLEPM, field maintenance
organizations and other CAF land maintenance stakeholders.

Directorate and Divisional processes. In addition, the
Contractor must provide support to DLEPS 8 to prepare a data
modelling plan and a short training course on business modelling
that is targeted at Divisional Subject Matter Experts (SMEs),

identification and elicitation process.
