Center for Government Interoperability

1. Center for Government Interoperability CFGIO Gov-ideas.com

2. Mission CFGIO is designed to save governments from tough economic times • Shared • Low cost • Integrated software applications

3. Non-technical description for business people

4. Economics of duplicative software purchases Business software can be thought of as a set of instructions that any computer programmer can create

5. The city of Beverly Hills purchases instructions from lawn experts on how to take care of its municipal lawns • water the lawn • mow the lawn The above instructions represent computer instructions

6. Los Angeles duplicate purchase • water the lawn • mow the lawn

7. All cities, counties, states and federal lawn managers make duplicative purchases • water the lawn • mow the lawn

8. This type duplication is what government actually does when purchasing business software Beverly Hills Los Angeles All US cities

9. Price goes down, quality goes up CFGIO allows for government to collectively purchase the instructions by paying for a • Beverly Hills • Los Angeles • All US cities share a single version 1. License-free copy2. Only one time3. Sharing copies of it amongst paying government agencies

10. Services beyond watering and mowing CFGIO creates a nationwide marketplace like eBay

11. New instructions are only paid for once • Continually provide new instructions • Become partners in improving government

12. Collective purchasing power

13. Private industry will have a better chance of selling a much larger variety of projects including large new projects because the cost is now acceptable to government through its group purchasing power

14. New products = More citizen services

15. Private industry/government interoperability planning in action

16. Vendors are moved out of duplicative products to new or enhancing products This further improves the innovation and planning partnership between lawn experts and government

17. CFGIO creates national forums to spur interoperability

18. Redesigning incentives improves the business model

19. Door 2. Stable target; which property database? THE only property database Key concepts Private industry will not have intellectual property rights Only one production version of a government function will be allowed: • Channels private sector innovation to new development, enhancements or interoperability • Other developers can count on integrating with only one specific subject area system for planning purposes

20. Enables nationwide planning CFGIO stabilizes current and future, state and federal connectivity allowing interoperability planning

21. (1) Police vacation schedule (2) This enhancement is put out to bid in the marketplace like all other products New services CFGIO transforms into Duplicateeffort

22. High school connect inventory system connects to their fiscal system Interoperability CFGIO transforms into Stovepiped systems

23. 1. DoD handoff 2. Soldiers falling into cracks Government-wide planning CFGIO transforms into Individual product planning

24. What is missing in today's environment is that government is not set up to give private industry incentives to consolidate and integrate government

25. 1. Property records cannot rollup standards 2. Vendor wastes energy going 3. Incentivizing silos 4. CFGIO designs incentives The incentive is actually the reverse 

26. Enterprise-wide system integration is key Bidding systems already exist such as GSA Advantage, DoD EMALL and FedBid A missing key component is interoperability with other products

27. CFGIO emphasizes enterprise-wide interoperability • Cross-agency coordination • Business process reengineering • Innovation • Efficiency Many of government's largest problems are related to business software systems that are not integrated

28. CFGIO was designed at the outset to build interoperability Without continually updated interoperability, you cannot re-engineer your business processes

29. Open source on the cloud

30. We don’t want to design lack of scalability Scope A single CFGIO is recommended for all states and federal government • Each system will be 50 times more expensive if CFGIO does not handle all states and federal government. • Each state running its own CFGIO will create 50 new silo systems. Nationwide planning will be balkanized. • Planning and discussion forums will be severely impoverished due to lack of participation. Only the depth of a national audience is enough to bring out the best analysts willing to join discussions. • Starting small should not be confused with limiting scalability.

31. Broker 2. Put yourself into shoes 3. Click eBay-like bidding system

32. Subject areas are only for new or enhancement products 2. Notice forums

33. Video tour 2. Florida attorney general 3. Not working hard to save the world like DOIT. If the numbers aren’t there; TIME D 4. Tendency for vendor to build out 21st Century 5. Requirements management

38. Developer demos • Demos showcase integration • Improved requirements management

39. One version lets them plan with other systems others are developing 2. Police working on a fresh crime CFGIO Laboratory Developers’ integrated testing area Interoperability testing with all currently existing systems

40. Improves requirements management CFGIO Lab for government clients Mirror of the production version Allows clients to collectively test, compare and comment upon software from many vendors

41. Private industry is allowed to demo integrated systems not yet requested by government

42. Much larger community of analysts plan government's "to be" vision

43. Business functionality is missing because it lies in between the cracks of silo systems

44. Developers given a framework to build functionality in previously neglected areas

45. With permission to pre-build integrated solutions, vendors will strive to fill in missing interoperability throughout government so that the whole web of government is rapidly improved

46. Clients need to test drive the demos

47. One hand of government knows what the other CFGIO Lab creates working demos that vendor and government developers have built

48. From an integration perspective, current incentives drive government to self destruct 2. CFGIO creates framework for efficient nationwide planning 3. CFGIO incentives quickly fill gaps with quality systems CFGIO breakthrough concepts • Group software purchases • Integration of all business software purchases • New government/private-industry partnership model

49. Perspectives

50. CFGIO gives agencies someone to go to; helps them discover opportunities; “Too busy to join committee” Organizational Structure Perspective Organizations are not designed to make group purchases
