## Interior Enterprise Architecture Overview

*January 2005*

## IEA’s intent is to leverage its analysis to support the business’s desire to move from its current state, to a more efficient & effective target state.

- Target
- Architecture

- Blueprint & Transition
- Plan

## The IEA program provides architecture services that yield multi-dimensional business transformation: Performance, Process, Data, Systems, & Technology.

**Notes:**
Take out all reference to BLM.  Target should be to right not left.  Reverse graphic.

## The IEA has an extensive methodology for creating, implementing, and maintaining Modernization Blueprints. 

***Implement Business Transformation******(1-5 years)***

***Maintaining  Architecture***
***(continuous)***

***Create the Blueprint***
***(6-12 months)***

## FY2004 was a landmark year for IEA as results were achieved, awards were won, and the groundwork was completed for future year successes.

_**Developed a Modernization Blueprint Methodology (**__***IRB approved***__**)**_:  The methodology includes performance, business process, data, systems, and technology analysis and is intended to deliver a Blueprint for modernization.
_**Developed Four (three approved by IRB) Modernization Blueprints (Financial Management, Recreation, Wildland Fire & Law Enforcement)**_:  Each blueprint provides a detailed plan for improving internal efficiencies, minimizing security and privacy risks, and reducing Interior's total cost of ownership.  Combined, the four modernization blueprints have identified approximately 100 redundant systems that DOI will retire within the next 1-3 years.
_**Developed the Department Enterprise Architecture Repository (DEAR)**_:_** **_The repository is "mined" throughout Interior to identify cross-cutting solutions, reduce redundancies and identify reusable and sharable service components that ultimately drive down Interior's infrastructure costs.

**The IEA was recently awarded the prestigious ‘**_**Excellence in Enterprise Architecture’**_** award from the e-Gov Institute.**

## One of the cornerstones of the IEA’s success is its supporting Governance Structure.

- An Integrated Governance Structure that Supports all EA Layers
- All Teams Provide Inputs into Modernization Blueprints
- IEA Governance Structure Linked to E-Gov and CPIC Programs

- Technology

- Business

- Data

- Applications

- BRM

- PRM

- TRM

- DRM

- SRM

- IBAT

- IAWG

- Validated Business Models

- DOI
- Modernization
- Blueprints

- Consolidated recommendations
- To E-Gov, IRB & MIT

- IAWG

- IBAT & ARB

- DEAR

## The Modernization Blueprint is a valuable decision support tool for CPIC coordinators that are evaluating IT investments. 

- A DOI-wide roadmap from the current to future state for a business area.
- Business processes that should be transformed/re-engineered prior to investment
- Technologies that should be used in the target state
- Services (from other business areas) that should be used rather than re-purchased
- A schedule of all modernization investments and dependencies for the business area

- The Blueprint Supplies CPIC Coordinators With:

## Once the Modernization Blueprint is delivered and IRB approval is obtained, the Blueprint then must be implemented.

**Implementing the Blueprint Steps**
*(align with Step 7 in the Federal CIO Council architecture cycle)*

## “The method of the enterprising is to plan with audacity and execute with vigor.”

## After IRB approval of the Blueprint, there are defined tasks to move from Blueprint through planning, investment, and implementation.

## During the Blueprint implementation steps, some items will be implemented through O&M funds while others will require an investment.

## A variety of skills are necessary to successfully implement the Blueprint recommendations.

- Guidance on blueprint recommendations
- Governance on existing DOI architecture
- Guidance on DOI data standards
- Business process reengineering expertise
- Guidance on scoring criteria and CPIC support

- Executive sponsor
- Project management expertise (certified)
- Technical implementation specialists
- Business owners / decision makers
- System owners / decision makers
- Change management, organizational impact expertise
- Regulatory experts
- Acquisitions expert

## The IEA rating and ranking criteria v.1 was in place for rating and ranking Ex. 300s for FY2006 budget.

- There shouldn’t be a higher EA score to departmental/cross-cutting IT investments vs. bureau unique investments.  There are Bureau specific systems that shouldn’t be penalized.
- Some investments are not designed to produce annual performance improvements.  Measuring an annual increase in performance may not be accurate.
- There is criteria that requires adherence to the Data Reference Model which has not been fully deployed and communicated.
- The data analysis skills required to adhere to the data criteria are not within the skill set of most LOB managers.
- There needs to be published guidance on who should be performing the assessments and what process should be used.
- There needs to be published guidance on how the assessment scores will be used.

## The IEA rating and ranking criteria for grading Ex. 300s continues to evolve as Bureaus provide feedback to v1.0 of the criteria.

- Move to ensure fairness in evaluating Bureau specific systems.
- Address incremental performance improvements versus annual performance improvements.
- Increase the amount of data standards communications to the LOB Business Managers.
- Offer IEA guidance when Bureaus are performing data analysis portions of their 300s.
- Publish guidance on the process for conducting this assessment in FY2007 as well as the necessary skills of the evaluators.
- Publish a more broad process for how the assessments will be used as well as how they will impact investment decisions.
- Move to work on a more business friendly use of wording throughout the assessment criteria.

## In Conclusion...

- IEA’s mission is to provide services that help spur business transformation (performance, process, data, systems, technology)
- In FY2004, four Blueprints were created from the IEA program
- The four Blueprints were constructed under the scrutiny of the IEA governance teams.
- These four blueprints provide valuable guidance to CPIC Coordinators
- In FY2005, IEA will be supporting the implementation of the Blueprints and the associated investments
- Request feedback from CPIC community on DEAR and reports.
- IEA will also continue to work with the Bureaus to revise the rating and ranking criteria to be used for FY2007 budget.
