Enhance decision making, increase cybersecurity, & reduce IT costs. Here’s how.
The U.S. Air Force Lifecycle Management Center (AFLCMC) selected Definitive Logic (DL) to implement a Talent and Learning Management System (LMS) to track training for one group of the Air Force’s Air Combat Command (ACC) Special Warfare Airmen. As with many Operational career fields, this group of Airmen must maintain a high number of skills and critical training standards to ensure mission readiness. ACC leadership envisioned a new LMS that would provide:
US Air Force Oracle HCM Cloud Case Study
-
- Clear, data-driven decisions for career development and mission readiness
- Real-time entry of employee training progress
- Electronic learning content delivery
- Leadership and employee visibility of training status and currency
- Cloud-based, mobile-enabled, intuitive, end-user interface
AFLCMC requested that DL utilize Oracle Fusion Human Capital Management (HCM) SaaS, Talent and Learning modules to provide a cloud-based, mobile-enabled Talent Management platform. This choice would take advantage of the reliability, accessibility, cybersecurity benefits, and lower system maintenance costs offered by commercial Software-as-a-Service (SaaS). The Special Warfare community can now use the new Talent Management and Learning Integration (TMALI) to track and log training and experience.

The effort included requirements analysis, design, configuration and development, data conversions and migrations, and test, deployment, and sustainment activities. DL also provided a communication plan to instruct ACC on the best change management industry practices for implementing new software to its end users.
The end result was a timely, accessible, efficient, and accurate LMS. The foundation of TMALI included personnel records and workforce structures with positions to support talent management as well as learning management and content delivery with built-in analytics. Benefits include:
-
- Enhanced user interface with fewer clicks and mobile accessibility
- New remote learning with local trainers uploading “readfile” content for compliance requirements and completion verification of each member
- Enhanced decision-making from dashboards with new reports and analytics; leadership can view their personnel’s training currency at a glance
- Increased cybersecurity from hosting within Oracle’s HCM Government Cloud
- Data reliability from TMALI integrating with authoritative Air Force HR sources ensuring accurate data for end user accounts and workforce structures
- Annual cost savings of $390K by replacing a legacy system with modern SaaS
The TMALI lays a foundation for ACC’s vision to strategically and deliberately develop Special Warfare Airmen to maintain a ready force, while maintaining flexibility to support other career fields across the Air Force and Air Education Training Command. Future enhancements for TMALI will enable succession planning as ACC leaders monitor in-house training progression via additional reports and analytics. This information better enables leadership to forecast career field proficiency and end strength. AFLCMC and DL now have an Air Force plan to easily expand TMALI to support additional career fields and unlimited learning content.
