"The concept for the Global Information Network Architecture (GINA) evolved from a realization that the current technologies provided an unprecedented opportunity to create a useful Global Information Grid that could transform the possibilities for Net-Centric Operations. The Global Information Network Architecture (GINA) Team was created in 2004 to address this possibility. Originally developed under Cooperative Research and Development Agreement with The US Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey CA, the projects initial title was Network Aware Business Data Management System (NABDMS)."

At Guarantee Glass we leverage the power of GINA to expose data and information from all operations data sources to our team. By combining the information in multiple systems across the organization we have up to the minute information at our fingertips. Once information is captured in any system it can be available to all. For instance, Project Managers and Glaziers on the shop floor have access to the same information about purchasing and inventory - the notes from the last call to the vendor ("Purchase Order X is en route and will arrive in 3 days") are available on demand.
