Summary:

This case study describes how the Army Materiel Command (AMC) consolidated the acquisition of standards-related information into a single contract managed by a single office. Not only are quality, access, and oversight greatly improved, but the cost savings are substantial--more than $1 million per year, or about a third lower than the costs under the old business model.
