PORTFOLIO

Through NMCI, the Navy and Marine Corps will gain secure, universal access to integrated voice,video and data communications. The common environment will improve security across the enterprise, periodically integrate the most up-to-date commercial technologies and centralize information technology budgeting and expenditures for the department.

Overview
NMCI provides the Department of the Navy with a full range of network-based information services on a single, enterprise-wide intranet. The Navy Marine Corps Intranet (NMCI) will apply the speed and might of world-class Internet technology to everything from performing routine administrative tasks to facilitating global communications and logistics during wartime. This program of unprecedented scale ensures the secure and reliable transmission of voice, video and data information worldwide.

Eventually, the massive NMCI network will link more than 400,000 workstations and laptops for Navy, Marine Corps and civilian users across the continental United States, Hawaii, Cuba, Guam, Japan and Puerto Rico.

NMCI is a key component of FORCEnet, the Department of the Navy's strategy for implementing network-centric warfare, and it supports the Department of Defense’s goals for information technology superiority. In addition to moving the department to an e-business model, with common corporate applications and databases, NMCI will support new processes and technologies, such as knowledge management, distance learning and telemedicine to improve the quality of life for sailors, Marines and the department’s civilian employees and support personnel.
