Interior Enterprise Architecture IEA

Interior Enterprise Architecture (IEA)

• June 8, 2005

Items to Discuss

• Importance of Documenting What We Do
• Status of Modernization Blueprints Both Active
  and Planned.

Architecture Through Data Calls
IT Investment to E-Gov Initiative Alignment

• 19 e-Gov Initiatives Affecting DOI
• Business Gateway
• Consolidated Health Informatics
• Disaster Management
• E-Authentication
• E-Clearance
• Enterprise HR Integration
• E-Records Management
• E-Rulemaking
• E-Training
• E-Travel
• Federal Asset Sales
• Geospatial Information One-Stop
• GovBenefits
• Grants.gov
• Integrated Acquisition Environment
• Recreation One-Stop
• Recruitment One-Stop
• Safecom

• OMB issuing data calls in an effort to architect
  the DOI systems environment from afar.
• The data calls are intended to extract
  information to help OMB identify systems to be
  eliminated.
• The flaw in OMBs approach is that they are not
  relying on architects/experts, but rather key
  word searches and high level business function
  mappings.

IEA PROVIDES STRUCTURED ANALYSIS

• More detailed descriptions of What We Do Allows
  DOI to Better Defend Its Portfolio
• Systems/Investments Mapped to DOI Models (i.e.,
  BRM, PRM) improves our understanding of our
  portfolio

5
Without applying EA through blueprint development
efforts, DOI is put in a reactionary and
defensive posture.

• Without EA, DOI is put into a reactionary
  position to defend its IT Portfolio.
• By leveraging EAs modernization blueprint
  approach, DOI will be better prepared to respond
  to constant OMB challenges.

Interior Enterprise Architecture and E-Government

• Enterprise Architecture provides the means for
  achieving E-Gov Initiatives
• Determines what supporting processes need to be
  re-engineered, streamlined, modified
• Determines what systems need to be interfaced
• Determines what systems may be redundant with
  target E-Gov initiatives
• Determines what data needs to be exchanged
• Determines what services can be re-used/shared.

Status of Modernization Blueprint Efforts
8
IEA and Bureaus are leveraging the Methodology
for Business Transformation to analyze key
business areas.
Create the Blueprint (4 Business Areas Complete
9 More Planned)
Implement Business Transformation(Currently
Implementing in 4 Business Areas)
Maintain Architecture (All Published Blueprints
Must Be Maintained)
9
As these blueprints are created, the Programs,
Bureaus, and DOI are better equipped to handle
the OMB data requests.

• Blueprints Being Implemented
• Recreation
• Wildland Fire
• Law Enforcement
• Financial Management

• Blueprints Being Created
• Indian Trust
• Geospatial Services
• Human Resources
• Water Management Modernization Framework and
  Blueprints
• Minerals Royalty Management
• Public Participation Services
• Aviation Management
• Education
• Natural Resources Information Strategy (PRIDE)

IRB Designated Priority Blueprint Efforts
These blueprints are at the early stages where
CIO and program support are critical to success.

Status of Blueprints Being Implemented
12
Additional Blueprint/EA Efforts Planned/Underway
within Bureaus
13
IEA and Bureaus will continue to analyze several
business areas at a time rather than all business
areas at once.
Reviewed for Trust, not for federal lands
14
The focus on business areas with heavy systems
use has well positioned DOI to respond to
portions of OMB requests.

of DOI Systems in DEAR
Analysis Completed
Reflects systems in DEAR mapped to DOI PRM.
Analysis Scheduled
Analysis Not Scheduled
15
Although some business areas have been analyzed,
more work is required to prepare for the future
OMB requests.
Reflects systems in DEAR that have been mapped
to DOI PRM.

Furthermore, as the blueprint studies continue,
DOI will be better prepared for the PMA e-Gov
integration challenges.
