Civica : Helping the Army strengthen its Digital Backbone
A trusted partner across the MOD , Civica has helped Army HQ implement data governance , quality , architecture and digital upskilling .
Over the past 12 months , Civica has implemented production of the Army Command Standing Order ( ACSO ) 18 / 08 for Data Governance & Coherence Directive . This drew heavily on Civica ’ s understanding of the MOD ’ s Data Strategy produced within Defence Digital , and its subsequent implementation and policing across the Deliver Teams . By operationalising and standardising this ACSO , Civica and Army HQ can deliver a central and cohesive data governance framework across the Army ’ s Directorates , plus deliver an associated , extensive digital upskilling programme .

Digital Backbone - the foundation to a strong defence
The commitment to an “ enduring data pandefence capability ,” according to Director Chief Data Officer MOD , Caroline Bellamy , requires partners like Civica to effectively deliver the data mandate .
Mark Humphries is the Consultancy Director at Civica and Chairman of DAMA UK , the leading professional membership body for data management professionals in the UK . Humphries adds :
“ The Army is implementing ACSO 18 / 08 to establish effective data governance and data management across all directorates and capabilities . They need to do this so that when they are making evidence-based decisions in the future they are confident that the data they are using is reliable , fit for purpose , timely and readily available ; in short they need to know they can trust the data that they are using .”
