Accomplishments:

Successfully implemented the first stage of EA Data Management integration with the establishment and creation of the first Army Corps of Engineers Enterprise Architecture Data Management Artifact Portal. This portal/repository for the data consists in utilizing the Knowledge Management Environment being established by the Corps utilizing Microsoft Sharepoint . By integrating the various framework components of the Federal Enterprise Architecture, Metadata standards and object mapping of the components were merged into a single theme that within the various Office of Management and Budget audit and validation criteria

Upon successfull creating the repositories, the Enterprise Architecture repository was then published with HTML outputs available for the first time of the Federal Enterprise Architecture, and the Army Corps of Engineers alignment to the Framework utilizing terminology that is consistent. This thereby produced a rating of "Green" and the Corps went from a scoring of less than 2.0 to 4.8 within a one year period, and was highly commended by the Chief Architect of OMB. Presently, assisting in expanding the capability of the Enterprise from the 62 Enterprise systems to include 3,600 other Corps IT systems running over 1,200 diverse applications. This effort involves the merging of Corps IT Portfolio Management Systems, CPIC processes to ISO 12207 standards.
