Enterprise
Architecture
The use of Enterprise Architecture (EA) is essential for evolving systems
and developing new systems that optimize their mission value. The Office
of Management and Budget (OMB), through the e-Government initiatives, has
stated the need for government agencies to make use of an EA framework
to effectively carry out the President’s management agenda to make
government services more cost effective and responsive to citizen’s
needs. As a result, government agencies are currently facing business and
technical challenges related to the implementation and migration to target
enterprise architectures. A number of well-established Enterprise Architecture
frameworks are currently used, the basic framework components include:
- Business Architecture
- Data and Information Architecture
- Application Architecture
- Technology and Infrastructure Architecture
- Security Architecture
Our major strengths to support this effort are based on:
- Long-term Relationship with the Government: GAITS has been providing technical
support to government agencies for several years. GAITS has gained considerable “corporate
knowledge” concerning government service operations that has proved
valuable on our government work programs.
- Capabilities and Expertise: GAITS provides experienced staff with breadth
and depth of expertise, objectivity, and a specific understanding of the
government agency mission, operations, business processes, architectures,
computing environments, and standards.
Lead and manage the technology change: GAITS utilizes available information
and resources and best practices to evaluating new emerging technologies.
We work closely with the agency’s program managers and contractors/providers
and evaluate and recommend only if it is absolute necessary to incorporate
new appropriate technologies into the government EA.
