3.2: Data, Services & Network Assurance

Improve Assured Data, Services, and Network Interoperability

Other Information:

While the shared service model offers significant enhancements, it does not guarantee interoperability or improved information sharing. Departments and agencies continue to wrestle with the challenge of using legacy data, services and systems that have varying degrees of connectivity across and among various classified and unclassified networks. IT development often fails to accord sufficient priority to interoperability. By planning and prioritizing during the design phase of IT solutions, departments and agencies can enjoy community-wide benefits of interoperability while meeting individual mission mandates. Increasing interoperability and access to shared services and information improves mission success, minimizes complexity, and reduces duplication as well as ongoing sustainment requirements.
