CWBI-OPS

The Natural Resources Management (NRM) community (Recreation and Environmental Stewardship (ES) Business Lines) have been collecting annual NRM project data since the mid-70s through a series of systems.

NRM data is used for many different purposes, including decisions concerning facility development, budget development and defense, tracking performance measures, preparation of briefings and fact sheets, asset management, etc. It is used to populate information on the Gateway and numerous other internal and external web sites. Inaccurate and/or incomplete data not only reflects poorly on the Corps and renders a disservice to the public but could also jeopardize the viability of our O&M missions and budget defense.

In 2022, the NRM community began utilizing CWBI-OPS to collect annual project data. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Operations and Maintenance (O&M) Program has been modernizing and standardizing data and information related to their business processes. During recent years, changes to the program combined Operations and Maintenance Business Information Link (OMBIL) and Corps Map applications into a consolidated AIS as the Civil Works Business Intelligence (CWBI) - https://cwbi.ops.usace.army.mil/.

CWBI serves the entire USACE organization as means of inputting, accessing data and information related to O&M budgets, expenditures, activities, and performance. The CWBI-OPS Program targets monthly system operations and maintenance, user registration, user support and help activities for the modules that were previously maintained within the Legacy OMBIL data entry and reporting system, which is now modernized and standardized as the CWBI-OPS Program.
