MITRE.• http://colab.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?FirstFEATEM

The Federal Enterprise Architecture

• Dick Burk, OMB Chief Architect and Manager, Federal Enterprise Architecture Program recently spoke about:– The Federal Transition Framework (FTF).– Beyond the Reference Models.– Solving Business Problems Using Enterprise

Architecture:• Recommended Reading – Enterprise Architecture

as Strategy by Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson, Harvard Business School Press, 2006, 234 pp. (see next slide)

9

Enterprise Architecture as Strategy

• “When it comes to successful execution of your strategy, your operating model may matter far more than your strategy itself.”

• Research shows that organizations follow a consistent pattern the authors call the “Four Stages of Architecture Maturity”:– Business Silos– Standardize Technology– Optimized Core– Business Modularity

• The Fifth Stage of Architecture Maturity:– Dynamic Venturing (partnering)

Source: Enterprise Architecture as Strategy by Jeanne Ross, Peter Weill, and David Robertson, Harvard Business School Press, 2006, 234 pp.

10

The FEA and SOA

• The FEA focuses on the OMB budget process and project management while SOA is the actual modeling of complex IT and governance environments like GSA is doing for the Financial Management Line of Business (LoB).

• Both are needed and can be complimentary and the SOA CoP is about “dynamic partnering” in support of the Lines of Business (LoB), the new Federal Transition Framework (FTF), and the new Data Reference Model 2.0 Management Strategy (see next slide).

11

MetamodelsThis metamodel for DRM 2.0 could…This “publish catalog” could lead to…

the “publish”, “find”, & “bind” of a SOA. become services layers in a SOA.

12

The SOA CoP

• A joint project of the Architecture & Infrastructure Committee (Governance and Services Subcommittees) and of the Best Practices Committee (Semantic Interoperability CoP).

• Developing a SOA Interoperability Specification and LoB Demonstration.

• Participating in an IAC-sponsored survey of the IT community on the culture, education, and technology aspects of SOA.

Why SOA is Hot in the Federal Government?

• Question from Gene Leganza, Vice President, Research, Forrester Research, October 26, 2006, and my answers:– 1. The Enterprise Architects in the Federal

Government are talking about SOA (governance) in all their meetings (Architecture & Infrastructure Committee, Chief Architects Forum, Architecture Plus Seminars, IAC EA SIG, etc.)

– 2. SOA is being "converged/equated" with EA (e.g. Sam Ceccola's keynote at the Open Group's EA Practitioners Conference, October 24th. (Breakout Session Panel, October 31st, 8:30 a.m.)

15

Why SOA is Hot in the Federal Government? • Question from Gene Leganza, Vice President,

Research, Forrester Research, October 26, 2006, and my answers (continued):– 3. Someone in the SOA CoP suggested recently the

saying "a rising tide (SOA) lifts all boats (agencies and vendors)."

– 4. It is the way to realize real EA benefits (e.g. the 5th Stage of EA Maturity: Dynamic Partnering in the Jeanne Ross, et al “Enterprise Architecture as Strategy” book (pages 182-186) (recall slide 9).

– 5. David Linthicum's recent quote: "I do think some of the more spectacular SOA successes will come from the government side.“ (Closing Keynote on October 31st).
