The Army Materiel Command Logistics Support Activity (LOGSA) has made significant progress toward creating a single, authoritative source of logistics information for the Army. In January, LOGSA fielded the Logistics Information Warehouse (LIW) Initial Operational Capability (IOC), which provides a common point of entry to the existing Web capabilities of the Logistics Integrated Data Base (LIDB), the Integrated Logistics Analysis Program (ILAP), and other LOGSA tools. The LIW IOC is the first step in the Army-directed merger of all LIDB and ILAP capabilities. The merger began in early 2005 with transfer of ILAP program management authority to the LOGSA commander.

The LIW main Web page, which replaced the WebLOG Web page, simplifies access to former WebLOG tools, restructures the LOGSA System Access Request (SAR) process, and provides single-sign-on access to the full capabilities of both WebLIDB and ILAR With the fielding of the LIW IOC, WebLIDB and ILAP are accessible only through the LIW Web site. Forward ILAP sites will be converted to "LIW Forward" sites.

A one-time user name conversion process transfers all existing EIDB and ILAP access privileges to the LIW. A single login based on the user's Army Knowledge Online (AKO) account provides access to the LIW Web page (https://liw.logsa.army.mil). Army-affiliated LIW users are required to use their AKO login to continue current access or obtain new access. Non-Army affiliated users can obtain a local non-AKO login.
