What does UC do for me?
 Today: Where do I find that document?
• UC: Robust Content Management. Email, documents, voicemails,
chat logs, and more are collected, categorized and searchable in the
DoD Private Cloud.
 Today: Why can’t I collaborate with my mission partners from
Army, DoD, and other Services?
• UC: Globally accessible by all CAC holders. Soldiers can connect
with all 3.9 million DoD personnel.
 Today: These tools are different from when I was deployed.
• UC: Train as you fight. Soldiers use the same tools in garrison as
deployed.
 Today: Is this an official record?
• UC: Built-In, Policy-Compliant Records Management. All records
are automatically collected, sorted, and scheduled for disposition.
 Today: My connection won’t support all these enterprise services!
