Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) |
The Office of Deputy Chief Management Officer (ODCMO) annually delivers the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) for the Department of Defense (DoD) Business Mission Area (BMA) to help defense business system owners and program managers make informed decisions. The ODCMO published the latest official BEA 9.0 release, March 16, 2012. OverviewThe BEA is the enterprise architecture for the DoD BMA and reflects the DoD business transformation priorities; the business capabilities required to support those priorities; and the combinations of enterprise systems and initiatives that enable those capabilities. It also supports use of this information within an End-to-End (E2E) framework. The Strategic Management Plan (SMP) is a key driver of BEA content. The SMP sets the strategic direction for the Department's business operations. The transformation effort guiding BEA development continues to focus on SMP alignment, providing tangible outcomes for a limited set of priorities, and developing architecture that is integrated, understandable and actionable.
The Department’s focus will impact the BEA in the following areas:
BackgroundIn addition to the BEA, the NDAA of 2005 established requirements for a DoD Enterprise Transition Plan (ETP), an annual Congressional Report, and a senior governance body. The governance body comprises an Investment Review Board (IRB) for the BMA and the Defense Business Systems Management Committee (DBSMC) chaired by the Deputy Secretary of Defense. The IRB and DBSMC provide effective business capability oversight and decision-making by certifying and approving business system modernizations more than $1 million as BEA compliant. Major Automated Information Systems (MAIS) and Major Defense Acquisition Programs (MDAP) also require BEA compliance before they can issue milestone approval decisions. BEA ContentBEA 9.0 is a culmination of the BEA 8.1 informational release, ongoing BEA content updates and new visualizations. It includes content that enriches the quality of the CBM requirements captured as part of the BMA End-to-End (E2E) processes.
