1: Enterprise Architecture (EA) Leverage EA to improve DOI’s mission performance and realize its strategic goals and objectives. Other Information: The Interior Enterprise Architecture (IEA) Program aligns IT with the Department’s major program concerns, including Trust management, Facilities and Maintenance, and Financial Management. The IEA Program has led the development and implementation of modernization blueprints that are aimed at improving processes and information sharing; reducing redundant IT systems; and serving as a key enabler of business transformation. Interior’s mission performance is being improved with effective alignment of the underlying IT investment portfolio. This IT Strategic Plan supports the Department’s IT Program’s continued adherence to the DOI Transition Strategy for closing the gap between Interior’s current or “as-is” architecture and its conceptual target architecture. In support of the PMA, the IEA has developed a detailed Interior Enterprise Transition Plan (ETP) to highlight DOI’s existing and planned projects that are affecting changes; integration with the Federal E-Government initiatives; technology infrastructure modernization initiatives; and recurring cycles that influence and support the IEA. The goal of Enterprise Architecture (EA) is to improve DOI’s mission performance and realize its strategic goals and objectives. EA seeks to achieve this goal by: Providing strategic business and architecture consulting services to program areas, improving the connection between stakeholders and investments, streamlining the processes and business rules in the program areas, minimizing system redundancies, improving data integration and data sharing, increasing the re-use of IT assets; and reducing the Total Cost of Ownership of Interior’s IT Portfolio. Interior’s integrated approach to EA reduces redundancies that result from separate Department and bureau-level approaches. To ensure the result is comprehensive, bureaus will concentrate their architecture efforts on strategically significant and bureau-unique business areas outside the common business areas being defined at the Departmental level. The end outcome for this process is to identify opportunities for integration, to eliminate or reduce redundancies, and to more effectively apply resources. Interior has established the Methodology for Business Transformation (MBT) that is used to develop “Modernization Blueprints”. The methodology and resulting blueprints provide for the analysis of business processes and information systems that support a program or mission area. The blueprint identifies opportunities for improving mission performance and internal efficiencies and allows for the development of action plans for implementing these opportunities for improvement. A fundamental component supporting EA activities at DOI is the Department Enterprise Architecture Repository (DEAR). This system is used to maintain the official inventory of all systems across the Department and Bureaus in support of modernization efforts. This system also supports the DOI architects in their analysis of program areas as they leverage the MBT to work with program resources in the development of the Modernization Blueprints.OMB’s Enterprise Architecture (EA) Maturity Framework v2.0 is used to measure Interior’s progress in this strategic goal.Each Agency receives an average score in three capability areas: EA Completion, Use, and Results. The average is calculated by summing the score for all criterion within that capability area and then dividing by the number or criteria. Scores are rounded up to the nearest tenth. The results of the annual assessment process will be reflected in the Status score for E-Government within the President’s Management Agenda. Agencies receive an overall score of Green for EA if the capability area score is equal to or greater than 3 in both the “Completion” and “Use” capability areas OR a score equal to 3 or greater in the “Results” capability area.
