Global Exchange Services (GEX)

GEX provides

• Data exchange, business process re-engineering services and software securely connect existing customer systems through auditable data standards and processes.
• Supports any-to-any data translation (including Health Care, X12, xml) and is routinely used for validation to improve data quality and provide business intelligence.
• Ensures the highest level of security for data-in-motion routing between large, complex business applications
• Concurrently handling hundreds of millions of information sets in hundreds of formats across various systems and agencies — and provides a complete audit trail for each transaction and payment to ensure financial logistics.
• Thousands of commercial, Department of Defense (DoD), Federal government customers and their business systems each maintain unique, secure, configurable data flows. There is no commingling of information between organizations and their systems unless an information sharing agreement is approved.

GEX Application Services

GEX Application Services handles all backend data integration with system partners so their application developers can focus on the core mission instead of the complexity of managing data and communications across the DoD. The system also reduces labor software costs by operating as a shared service. Cost avoidance is achieved through reuse of established service buses, shared licensing, and reduction in the labor costs of system administration and engineering.

Agencies and the DoD attain critical enterprise views of their business process logic and data among hundreds of financial, logistics, human resource, and payment systems. For example, GEX processes DoD service’s military pay, vendor pay between DoD and Treasury, and all DoD contracts—over 14 million transactions daily and hundreds of millions of transactions each month at Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) hosted operations.
