What is EA?
• Enterprise Architecture (EA) is a system that many business agencies use to• improve their overall organization and
effectiveness• help manage their technological
assets• help them use their technological
assets to meet organizational objectives and goals
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
What is EA (cont.)?
• EA is not limited to technological information. It is applied in all business areas as a way of managing and improving the effectiveness of an organization as a whole.
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
What does EA do?
• Helps leaders view complex information in a simple way
• Helps executives make decisions to improve efficiency
• Provides the information needed by decision-makers to identify both redundancies and gaps in capability among organizational units
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
EA Defines…
• The Mission• Information and/or technologies
necessary to perform the mission• Transitional processes for
implementing new practices and/or technologies in response to the changing needs of the mission
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
EA Defined
• As defined by OMB (Circular A-130)• An EA is the explicit description and documentation of the
current and desired relationships among business and management processes and information technology
• As defined by the CIO Council, 2003• EA establishes an organization-wide vision to achieve the
mission through optimal performance of the core business processes with an efficient IT environment
Methodology for Developing SystemRequirements in Context with Customer
Processes and Mission Operations
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
EA Links CG Objectives to Missions, Governance, Funding, Initiatives, Standards,
Information &Technology Wikipedia says “Knowledge Management (KM) comprises a range of practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute and enable adoption of insights and experiences… efforts typically focus on organizational objectives such as improved performance, competitive advantage, innovation, the sharing of lessons learned, and continuous improvement of the organization. KM efforts overlap with Organizational Learning, and may be distinguished from by a greater focus on the management of knowledge as a strategic asset and a focus on encouraging the exchange of knowledge.”

What does Coast Guard Enterprise Architecture look
like today?
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
Today’s EA: Urban Sprawl
• Bottom Up development of the systems & the business
• Overlapping and/or incongruent delivery
• Not aligned with corporate strategy
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
Three Parts of EA
As-Is Transition Target
As-Is EA
• Describes the current state of the environment
Transition Plan
• Mission and business improvement efforts
• Technology migration strategies
• Project development initiatives
• Deployment plans
Target
• Presents a “to-be” picture
• Several targets developed to phase planning horizons over several time periods (i.e. – 5 years, 10 years)
Where we are today…
Where we want to be…
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
Business Area Example
• CG Modernization• As-Is: LANTAREA, PACAREA
• Functional statements/lines of business are identical, yet executed differently with multiple redundancies
• Transition: CG Transformation Teams• Using EA to define goals, lines of business, and
performance measurement areas
• Target: FORCECOM + OPCOM• Organizational goals defined, unique lines of
business/functional areas, eliminated redundancy, clear areas of measurement
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
Technology Example
• Logistics Transformation• As-Is: ALMIS, AOPS
• Two IT systems performing the same function for aviation and boat force communities
• Transition: Sector Baltimore Pilot• Test pilot for use of ALMIS
• Target: ALMIS/LIMS only• All communities unified to input data into one
IT system; unified performance reporting, training, minimized redundancy

EA Applications
• Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA)
• Department of Homeland Security Enterprise Architecture (DHS EA)
• U.S. Coast Guard Enterprise Architecture (CGEA)
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA
• A strategic information asset base that defines• the business• information necessary to operate the
business• technologies necessary to support the
business operations• transitional processes for implementing
new technologies in response to the changing needs of the business
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA History
• In 2001, President George W. Bush created the President’s Management Agenda (PMA), a plan to make the federal government more results-oriented, efficient, and effective.
• FEA development commenced on February 6, 2002, lead by the Office of Management and Budget (OMB).
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
EA Mandates and Drivers
• Clinger-Cohen Act says all Departments must have an enterprise architecture
• Office of Management and Budget (OMB) Circular A-130 says
•you must use a Framework to guide your description of your architecture
•you must include specific items in your architecture description
• OMB Criteria: a self-assessment
• OMB Circular A-11 says capital planning must be related to the [enterprise] architecture
• General Accounting Office (GAO) will withhold $$ if you don’t have an adequate architecture
• DoD policies require architecture products
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
EA Mandates and Drivers
• GAO Reports• GAO-01-190 “Coast Guard Practices
can be Improved”• GAO-04-40 “Leadership Remains Key
to Agencies Making Progress on Enterprise Architecture Efforts”
• GAO EA Maturity Model Framework• OMB EA Assessment Framework• Contemporary Case Study:• “FBI Needs an EA to Guide Its
Modernization Activities”
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA History (cont.)
• Purpose of this initiative:• to identify opportunities to simplify processes• to unify work across the agencies and within
the lines of business of the Federal government
• All Federal agencies must relate their architectures through linkages to the Business Reference Model (BRM), Performance Reference Model (PRM), Service Component Reference Model (SRM), Data Reference Model (DRM), and Technical Reference Model (TRM).
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA History (cont.)
We are concerned primarily with the BRM and the PRM.
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA BRM
• The BRM provides an organized, hierarchical construct for describing the day-to-day business operations of the Federal government.
• The BRM is the first layer of the FEA, and it is the main viewpoint for the analysis of data, service components, and technology.
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA BRM (cont.)
Business Areas
Lines of Business
Sub-functions
The BRM provides a framework facilitating a functional (rather than operational) view of thefederal government’s operations, independent of the agencies, bureaus and offices performing them.
The BRMdescribes the federal government around common business areas instead of through anagency-by-agency view. It thus promotes agency collaboration.
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
FEA PRM
• The PRM has three main purposes: • help produce enhanced performance
information to improve strategic and daily decision-making
• improve the alignment and better articulate the contribution of inputs to outputs and outcomes, thereby creating a clear “line of sight” to desired results
• identify performance improvement opportunities that span traditional organizational structures and boundaries

Without EA
• Inability to map technology to CG mission
• Fragmented and redundant systems/data
• Unnecessary movement of data
• Missing integrative views• Excessive number of
technologies deployed• Poor data quality• Less effective/efficient security• Lose $$! (DOL Case Study)
One Source One Answer One Coast Guard
Benefits of EA
• Alignment with the “business” (i.e., ELA/UPLM)• Better understanding of the current “state of
affairs”• Reduce redundancy & fragmentation• Eliminate unnecessary movement of data• Develop integrative views• Reduce number of technologies deployed• Improve data quality• Improve security• Justify budget
