  1. United States Environmental Protection AgencyOffice of Environmental InformationEnterprise Architecture ProgramSuccess StoriesFebruary 2008

  2. Table of Contents EPA’s EA program is pleased to provide further insight into the numerous mission-oriented successes and cost savings that were achieved by the Agency in 2007 • Purpose • Mission-Oriented Successes • Geospatial Segment • Air Segment • EPA Portal • Tribal Portal • Cost Savings of Enterprise Tools and IAM

  3. Purpose The following success stories demonstrate how the EA program has generated measurable and lasting results that benefit the Agency • Demonstrates how EPA’s EA strategy has produced results: • Segment success • Reuse of services • Cost savings/cost avoidance • Performance improvements • Highlights success stories attributable to the EA program that: • Demonstrate segment progress • Have resulted in cost savings/avoidance • Demonstrate an impact on the Agency budget

  4. Mission-Oriented SuccessGeospatial Segment EPA’s National Geospatial Program: An Enterprise Geospatial Framework Supporting Inter-Agency and Intra-Agency Business

  5. Mission-Oriented SuccessGeospatial Segment EPA’s National Geospatial Program: An outline of benefits Example Cost-Savings Achieved to Date: EPA’s ESRI Enterprise License Savings • Initial Savings Estimated at ~$1.85 million • Capital Investment Savings: ~$1.5-$1.6 million • Contractual Savings (associated with annual maintenance): ~$250K • Annual Training Savings: ~$50K* • What does it provide • EPA’s primary Geospatial Information Systems (GIS) software (desktop and server) • Additional extensions and services depending on user needs • Additional user benefits • Improved access to software: 150% increase in use since the beginning of the license agreement • Reduction in management of licensing and contracts • As additional offices take advantage of the software (e.g., OAR), the savings increase: OAR was able to leverage ESRI software, and services in building their new geospatial data warehouse • Access to information for emergencies: During Katrina, EPA was provided with numerous free data services. Actual cost savings and ROI summary from use of EPA’s ESRI Enterprise License The Results: The National Geospatial Program delivers far more than just financial returns. Providing improved access to resources, streamlining metadata management processes, and improving the quality of information made available across the Agency and to external partners dramatically improves the ability for EPA personnel and partners to do their business. Because the majority of EPA business is associated with a place, improving the ability to evaluate information based on location will help the Agency meet its programmatic goals and enables managers to view environmental problems in ways and timeframes and at costs not previously possible. All of the National Geospatial Program products developed in FY 2007 are currently available for use by all to all EPA segments.

  10. Mission-Oriented SuccessAIRNow AIRNow Success: Using an Air Program’s Business Solution to Protect Public Health “I want to let you know how wonderful this service is. My husband has stage IV lung/brain cancer. It never occurred to me that the air quality could be so dangerous in the winter (I only knew about the cold and dry). Because of your e-mails we were able to plan his appointments and time outside around those bad days. Now, the other interesting part of this is that I have asthma and, truthfully, I haven't been taking very good care of myself. I haven't been taking my meds like I should. During that alert time, I should have increased my inhalers too but forgot. By this past Sunday, I was in a little trouble with my breathing--I actually thought I was coming down with a cold but then I realized your messages were meant for me also. I upped my meds (like I'm supposed to when I'm in trouble) and today I'm much better. I know this is an experimental program--I've got to tell you it worked for me. From now on I'm going to respond to your warnings, not only for my husband but for me too. Thanks for providing this service.” -- Kathy Barney Source: EPA AirNow Program: Changing Behaviors and Protecting Public Health, presented at the 2007 OEI Environmental Information Symposium.
