'''Net-Centric Enterprise Services''' ('''NCES''') is a [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]]  program, managed by the [[Defense Information Systems Agency]], to develop [[information technology]] infrastructure services for future systems used by the United States military.

Technically, the program is based on the concept of '[[enterprise integration]]' from the sub discipline [[enterprise engineering]] of [[systems engineering]], which enables the transmission of right information at the right place and at the right time and thereby enable communication between people, machines and computers and their efficient co-operation and co-ordination.

There are nine core [[enterprise services]] defined in the [[NCOW|Network Centric Operations and Warfare - Reference Model]] (NCOW-RM):
# storage
# [[data mediation|mediation]]
# user assist
# IA ([[Information Assurance]])
# ESM (Enterprise Service Management)
# messaging
# discovery & delivery
# application
# collaboration

NCES maps these nine services to four product areas:
# Enterprise [[service-oriented architecture]] (SOA) foundation
# [[Content discovery]] and delivery
# [[Enterprise collaboration]]
# Defense on-line portal
