Book excerpt: DOD continues to take steps to comply with legislative requirements and related guidance pertaining to its business systems modernization highrisk area. In particular, on March 14, 2008, DOD released a new version of its BEA and issued its annual report to congressional defense committees describing steps taken and planned relative to the act's requirements, among other things. The steps address several of the missing elements that we previously identified relative to the legislative provisions and related best practices concerning the BEA, enterprise transition plan, and investment management, and continue to address the act s requirements relative to business system budgetary disclosure and certification and approval of systems costing in excess of $1 million. However, additional steps are needed to fully comply with the act and relevant guidance: The latest version of the BEA resolves several of the architecture gaps associated with the prior version, such as adding business rules and data attributes. However, like the previous version, its focus is largely on DODwide corporate policies, capabilities, rules, and standards. While these are essential to meeting the act s requirements, this version has yet to be augmented by the DOD component organizations subsidiary architectures that also are essential to meeting the act s requirements and the department s goal of having a federated family of architectures. DOD has taken some steps toward extending its architecture through its recently updated federation strategy, however the military departments architecture programs remain immature, particularly those of the Army and the Navy. To address these challenges, we have existing recommendations that DOD has agreed to implement. Once these challenges are addressed, the federated BEA should provide a more sufficient frame of reference to optimally guide and constrain DOD-wide system investments.

Book excerpt: In 1995, GAO first designated the Department of Defense's (DOD) business systems modernization program as "high risk," and GAO continues to do so today. To assist in addressing this high-risk area, the Fiscal Year 2005 National Defense Authorization Act contains provisions that are consistent with prior GAO recommendations. Further, the act requires the department to submit annual reports to its congressional committees on its compliance with these provisions and it directs GAO to review each report. In response, GAO assessed DOD's actions to address (1) requirements in the act and (2) GAO's recommendations that it reported as open in its prior annual report under the act. In doing so, GAO reviewed documentation and interviewed officials relative to the act and related guidance.

This book was released on 2007 with total page 62 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In 1995, the Government Accountability Office (GAO) first designated the Department of Defense's (DoD) business systems modernization program as "high risk," and GAO continues to do so today. To assist DoD in addressing its modernization challenges, the FY 2005 National Defense Authorization Act contained provisions that are consistent with prior GAO recommendations. More specifically, the act required the department to do the following: (1) develop a Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA), (2) develop a transition plan to implement the architecture, (3) include systems information in its annual budget submission, (4) establish a system investment approval and accountability structure, (5) establish an investment review process, and (6) approve and certify any system modernizations costing in excess of $1 million. The act further required that the Secretary of Defense submit an annual report to congressional defense committees on DoD's compliance with certain requirements of the act not later than March 15 of each year from 2005 through 2009. The act directs GAO to submit -- within 60 days of DoD's report submission -- to congressional defense committees an assessment of the actions taken to comply with these requirements. As agreed with DoD, the objectives of this review were to assess the actions taken by DoD to comply with the requirements of section 2222 of Title 10, U.S. Code, and determine the extent to which DoD has addressed GAO's prior open recommendations for institutionalizing key business system modernization management controls. In doing so, GAO reviewed documentation and interviewed officials relative to the act and related guidance. GAO is recommending that future DoD annual reports include an assessment by its independent verification and validation agent of the quality of the department's federated family of architectures, including the associated transition plan(s). In written comments, DoD agreed with GAO's recommendation.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As the top-ranking official at the U.S. Department of Defense in charge of economic rebuilding, Brinkley and his organization of hundreds of business volunteers struggled against bureaucratic policies to revolutionize foreign aid by leveraging America's strength—its private sector. In doing so, his team demonstrated success in the midst of failure, and created hundreds of thousands of jobs in areas long written off by the civilian bureaucracy as hopeless. Reporting directly to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates, Brinkley spent five years overseeing economic improvement in Iraq and Afghanistan. The lessons learned in these two nations were soon extended into the war-torn nations of Pakistan, Rwanda, and Sudan. Brinkley, who worked under both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama Administrations, reveals why American foreign policy has left these nations in the Middle East and Africa disappointed, resentful, and suspicious of American intentions. Optimistic that America can deliver on its economic promise, Brinkley outlines in War Front to Store Front the necessary changes in U.S. foreign policy if we want to rebuild and revitalize an economy under fire. This engaging account details: Fascinating insights of the inner workings of American government and its largest bureaucracy—the U.S. Department of Defense Vivid descriptions of a group of business leaders who sought to change how the Pentagon did business, and who wound up in a war zone, including a firsthand experience of a terrorist attack Detailed account of the American business model for foreign development that can improve the lives of war-ravaged citizens, at far less cost than existing military and foreign aid programs Insights into the transition of the Bush Administration to the Obama Administration, and its impact on foreign policy Inside details on the real business climate in Iraq, before and after Saddam Hussein, as well as its political landscape Detailed analysis of the future of Afghanistan, economically and politically, and how its democratic institutions struggle to gain a foothold Comprehensive map to connect Iraq, Afghanistan, and Pakistan to the global economy, creating opportunity and reducing anti-Americanism Thorough breakdown of lessons learned in the Middle East and U.S. efforts to translate them to African nations, including Rwanda and Sudan

This book was released on 2008 with total page 57 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The military departments respective enterprise architecture programs have yet to advance to a level that can be considered mature. To effectively establish and leverage enterprise architectures as instruments of organizational transformation, research by us and others show that architecture programs should be founded upon both an institutional commitment and a measured and verified organizational capability to properly develop, maintain, and use the architecture to affect operational and technological change. Our framework for managing and evaluating the status of architecture programs consists of 31 core elements related to architecture governance, content, use, and measurement that are associated with five stages of maturity. In 2006, we reported that the Departments of the Air Force, Navy, and Army were in the initial stage of our framework, and they remain so today. This means that they have not fully satisfied all the core elements associated with the framework's second stage (establishing the management foundation for developing, maintaining, and using the architecture); nor have they fully satisfied the core elements associated with Stage 3 (developing the architecture), 4 (completing the architecture), and 5 (leveraging the architecture for organizational change). As we have previously reported, an organization generally needs to have achieved Stage 5 in our framework for it to have an effective architecture program because, at this stage, the full complement of architecture products and supporting management controls and structures are in place to guide and constrain information technology (IT) investments in a way that produces institutional results.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The DoD¿s multi-billion dollar business systems modernization efforts are high risk, in part because key information tech. (IT) mgmt. controls have not been implemented on key investments, such as the Navy Cash program. Initiated in 2001, Navy Cash is a joint Dept. of the Navy (DoN) and Dept. of the Treasury Financial Mgmt. Service program to create a cashless environment on ships using smart card tech., and is estimated to cost about $320 million to fully deploy. This report analyzed whether DoN is effectively implementing IT mgmt. controls on the program, including architectural alignment, economic justification, requirements dev¿t. and mgmt., risk mgmt., security mgmt., and system quality measurement against relevant guidance.

Since 1995, GAO has designated DOD's business systems modernization program as high risk, and it continues to do so today. To assist in addressing DOD's business system modernization challenges, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2005 requires the department to take certain actions prior to obligating funds for covered systems. It also requires DOD to annually report to the congressional defense committees on these actions and for GAO to review each annual report. In response, GAO performed its annual review of DOD's actions to comply with the act and related federal guidance. To do so, GAO reviewed, for example, the latest version of DOD's business enterprise architecture, fiscal year 2013 budget submission, investment management policies and procedures, and certification actions for its business system investments.
