After several years of successfully leading the development of the Enterprise Data Architecture for a major intelligence customer, we are currently actively involved in leading implementation efforts to operationalize the architecture.
The success criteria for any architecture is the degree to which it influences enterprise development and operations. Our leadership in Master Data Management and Enterprise Data Services is having real impact, helping customers get a grip on the data that is most vital to the enterprise.
DLA’s Integrated Data Environment (IDE) is a component of an emerging Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) enabling DLA will integrate its systems with service architectures, and implement the DoD Net-centric data strategy to make DLA data visible, accessible, understandable, and assured. This ensures data interoperability/usability with systems external to DLA, and makes that data available to applications that provide the warfighting customer with useful decision-making information.
