Our Mission
The Center for Enterprise Modernization (CEM) helps federal agencies transform how they serve the American public—driving national prosperity, economic security, and improved citizen outcomes. We advance technology, streamline operations, and strengthen enterprise systems to deliver cost-effective, mission-critical solutions used by millions daily.
In partnership with the Department of Treasury and Internal Revenue Service—and co-sponsoring efforts with the Department of Veterans Affairs, the Department of Commerce, and the Social Security Administration—CEM applies a whole-of-government approach to modernize federal operations.
In addition to our valued federal sponsors, CEM can support all civil federal agencies, extending MITRE’s capabilities to those without an established FFRDC, delivering rapid, tangible impact across the federal enterprise.
Our Impact
CEM’s deep expertise in technology and government missions powers a better, faster, more efficient government. We work with our sponsors and co-sponsors to:
- Simplify and improve access to veterans' benefits
- Optimize VA resources and eliminate redundancies
- Support taxpayers with timely, accessible assistance
- Detect fraud and reduce improper payments across federal programs
- Protect U.S. intellectual property from adversaries
- Strengthen and secure U.S. currency
- Use economic statecraft to grow American jobs and influence
- Support space traffic management for industry
- Safeguard financial market stability and resilience
- Enhance citizen experiences and outcomes
Our Work

Developing Technical Solutions for the Digital Asset Community
CEM plays a key role in navigating emerging trends like cryptocurrency development and adoption by bolstering digital asset security. The MITRE AADAPT™ (Adversarial Actions in Digital Asset Payment Technologies) provides a comprehensive knowledge base that outlines adversary tactics and techniques against digital asset platforms, derived from real-world attacks, observations, and vulnerabilities.

Providing Insights to Enhance US Economic Security and Prosperity
CEM’s unique access to sensitive data and engagement across federal agencies enables us to provide distinct insights on foreign threats enabled by state-influenced companies and solutions. We help to foster a strong national economy by analyzing the economic impact of tariffs by industry, enhancing financial stability, and developing AI-driven analytical capabilities to assess trade and other economic policies.

Enhancing Financial Stability through Technical Innovation
MITRE’s expert engineering teams develop data-driven insights to create actionable recommendations for strengthening the economy and expanding our nation’s competitive edge. We enable advanced technologies to protect our currency from counterfeiting, apply AI to combat financial crimes, and conduct research to bolster digital asset security.

Helping Qualified Citizens and Veterans Get the Benefits They Deserve
We helped to reduce red tape for veterans by streamlining Medical Disability Exam evaluations by 30%. Recent recommendations and a demand forecasting proof of concept helped increase output of veteran disability claims appeals reviews by 20%, while also reducing the average days to complete by nearly 20%.

Improving Healthcare for Our Veterans
MITRE enabled VA to expand personalized Whole Health models to 2.75 million Veterans, improving outcomes and reducing opioid use, pharmacy utilization, and healthcare costs.

Enabling Industry Through Space Traffic Management
MITRE’s deep engineering expertise is supporting the Office of Space Commerce in developing the Traffic Coordination System for Space (TraCSS), a critical platform for managing space situational awareness and collision avoidance, so that US industry can innovate in space and lead the world in space-based business while we protect and enable US national security interests in space.

Efficiency Through Modernization
MITRE’s systems engineering and data analytics expertise enabled VA’s Office of Suicide Prevention to deploy a secure cloud platform for health data, eliminating 65,000+ hours of manual effort, reducing data entry, and saving $1.7M—all while improving transparency and meeting Congressional mandates.
