Information Technology OpportunityDilemma Internet - Cloud • Virtualized compute; global network enabled • Software decoupled from hardware • Work from anywhere Information Driven Capability Networked - Decentralized • PC enabled and network enabled • Software distributed in both server and client computers • Work from the user location Centralized - Mainframe • Central computer center • Software in computer center only • Work brought to the computer center Information Technology Adoption 1950 1960 1970 1980 1990 2000 2010 2020 DoD is using Wave 2 processes; to acquire Wave 3 capability
“The DoD Acquisition Problem” • Wave 3 technology decouples network and computing infrastructure from application services: • Powers Amazon and Ebay to allow “mash-up” (shared pictures, videos) • We use Wave 2 acquisition & budget processes, trying to build Wave 3 capability; results: • Under investment in infrastructure; don’t corporately understand the need • Forces programs to contract to a pre-defined price and schedule (the standard “hump” curve) Our enemies are not constrained by Wave 2 processes
