The U.S. Army’s Program Executive Office Enterprise Information Systems is in charge of a litany of tasks, including data management, IT infrastructure construction and maintenance, finance and accounting services, logistics and more. Helping to shape these mission areas is Chief Information Officer Michael Chappell.
“These are exciting times at PEO EIS,” Chappell told ExecutiveGov. Chappell spoke with us in advance of his upcoming appearance at the Potomac Officers Club’s 5th Annual CIO Summit, where he will participate in a panel discussion on using generative artificial intelligence to enable IT modernization.

“I’m looking forward to this panel discussion and highlighting a few key initiatives on how we’re approaching AI in Army business systems, including Army Data Mesh and Neighborhood Watch,” said Chappell.
The data mesh Chappell refers to is the Unified Reference Data Architecture, a new concept for the Army that aims to decentralize data product ownership.
“Instead of having a centralized data platform, a data mesh empowers teams to have control over their data products and make data-driven decisions,” according to the service branch. “It allows for self-serve analytics and democratizes data product access, empowering teams to directly access, manage and control their own data products while sharing them within the organization.”

On the panel, Chappell will be joined by U.S. Customs and Border Protection CIO Sonny Bhagowalia, among others. They will be moderated by the illustrious Robert McNamara of Guidehouse.
