Conclusions

Enables effective military operations

We live in a digital information age where the speed and scale of information sharing

continues to accelerate

Transforms business processes

e.g., Travelocity.com

Allows more agile sharing across Federal agency boundaries

Spawns Innovation

e.g., Amazon.com

More on the DoD to Amazon.com Analogy

DoD partnering on a global scale could lead to more effective mission and business operations

• Standard service interface used• Data shared using well defined vocabulary• Services used by known & unanticipated users• Free core enterprise services

• Low cost of entry (Services are free or very low cost)• No special access permissions needed

• Amazon drove data standards (COI of 1)• Usage directly translates to financial rewards for Amazon and

its affiliates

We are Net-Centric Information Sharing Pioneers

• Together we are pioneering agile information sharing in the DoD and Intelligence Community (IC)

• Some of it we know how to do– Model after successes on the World Wide Web– Use open standards

• Some of it is HARD– Cultural change– DoD and IC specific needs– Streamline capability delivery for responsive operations

• We’ve had some successes– DoD & IC Net-Centric Strategies– Net-Centric Core Enterprise Services – Increasing Partnerships (e.g., DoD & IC)

8

We are Net-Centric Information Sharing Pioneers (concluded)

• But some challenges remain, e.g.,

• To pioneer net-centric information sharing transformation we need your help to:– Implement the things we know how to do– Address the remaining challenges– Continue to innovate as technology changes and needs evolve

Progress is being made but your help is needed to achieve effective military and government operations
