What is APMS?

The Army Portfolio Management Solution (APMS) is a web-based application used to manage the inventory of Army systems. ​A system must be assigned an APMS number before it can be accepted into the A&A process (RMF). An APMS number is also required to create an eMASS entry (however, for a system that is under development or being tested, using "0000" works!). For Army systems, the APMS number is used in the DITPR field.
Army systems must be registered in APMS and assigned a Mission Area:  Business Mission Area (BMA), Enterprise Information Environment Mission Area (EIEMA), or Warfighting Mission Area (WMA). Within each Mision Area, a Domain must also be selected. The Mission Areas and Domains are: 

BMA (Business Mission Area):
  • Aquisition
  • Financial Management
  • Human Resources Management
  • Installations, Energy & Environment
  • Logistics
  • Training & Readiness
DIMA (Defense Intelligence Mission Area)
  • Analysis & Production
  • Collection
  • Dissemination
  • Enterprise Information Technology
  • Enterprise Management Support
  • Exploitation
  • Mission Management
EIMA (Enterprise Information Environment Mission Area)
  • Communications
  • Computing Infrastructure
  • Core Enterprise Services
  • Information Assurance
WMA (Warfighter Mission Area)
  • Battlespace Awareness
  • Command and Control
  • Corporate Management and Support
  • Focused Logistics
  • Force Application
  • Force Management
  • Mission Command
  • Net Centric
  • Protection
  • Training
See DoD Instruction (DoDI) 8115.02, "Information Technology Portfolio Management Implementation," 30 October, 2006 and Department of the Army Pamphlet 25-1-1, Information Management, Army Information Technology Implementation Instructions, 25 JUN 2013 for further information concerning Mission Areas and Domains.
A system's APMS record contains several other details concerning the system including:  POCs, FISMA compliance, PIA, and hosting environment.
The DoD repository for IT assets is the Department of Defense Information Technology Portfolio Repository (DITPR).
