  1. Project Management COE Helen Schmitz, Chief IT Architect (Acting) June 10, 2009

  2. Agenda • What Enterprise Architecture (EA) is • The components and how they are used • What we do • How to work with us Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  3. What is Enterprise Architecture? Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  4. What is Enterprise Architecture? • “Enterprise Architecture is the strategic plan & design for IT.” • “Enterprise Architecture at the NIH uses technology to extend the capability of the NIH to save lives. It creates a holistic vision or model of systems, processes and components to ensure that they interoperate like the different systems in a healthy body.” • EA elevator speeches created by members of the Office of the Chief IT Architect (OCITA),12/04/2006 Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  5. NIH Enterprise ArchitectureMission and Vision • Mission • To develop a comprehensive plan for IT support at the NIH which acknowledges the need for both conforming and diverse business processes. • Vision • The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Enterprise Architecture (EA) will enable efficient business processes and information access for all NIH Institutes and Centers (IC) by providing the necessary: • Common models • Frameworks • Standards • by which to build and plan: • Shared NIH enterprise systems • A secure and robust core IT infrastructure.

  6. Enterprise Architecture is Analogous to City Planning L’Enfant’s Plan of Washington DC (1791) - Supports the mission - Long range - Over-arching - Can be modified Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  7. What are the Benefits of EA? The overall NIH Enterprise Architecture offers many benefits to the enterprise. These desired benefits, along with Federal regulations and legislation, drive the development of the enterprise architecture program. The six most important benefits include: • Links information technology (IT) to the mission of NIH • Improves interoperability and integration • Enables agility • Reduces costs • Improves security • Reduces technical risk Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  8. NIH Enterprise ArchitectureFramework Used to structure the EA effort and to classify the EA components: • Business Architecture • Information Architecture • Technology Architecture Architecture is a process, not a one-time event Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  9. Business Architecture Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  10. Value of HPSD-12 Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Business Process Models • Provides view of end-to-end NIH Personal Identity Verification (PIV) business process • Identifies and communicates roles are responsibilities to all stakeholders • Shows integration with/linkages to existing NIH people processes • Provides functional requirements for IT PIV support system design • Establishes an agreed upon baseline from which to manage future changes • NIH HSPD-12 models used to brief Congress on the value of business process models Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  11. Information Architecture Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  12. Data ArchitectureNIH Enterprise Conceptual Data Model Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  13. Technology Architecture Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  14. How Standards are Developed Domain Team process • http://enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/About/Approach/DomainTeamProcess.htm NIH Request for Comments (NIHRFC) • http://enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/About/Approach/NRFC.htm Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  15. Technology ArchitectureArtifacts • Patterns Design ideas that can be reused and leveraged across NIH. Example: http://enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/ArchLib/AT/TA/NIHFederatedIdentityPattern.htm • Bricks NIH standards that specify products, technologies, or protocols in use or planned, as well as those earmarked to be retired or contained. Example: http://enterprisearchitecture.nih.gov/ArchLib/AT/TA/NIHFederateIdentityAuthenticationAuthorization.htm The Enterprise Architecture Program has established 61 bricks and 50 patterns to date through the NIH EA standards process. Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  16. Technology Transformations OCITA has coordinated the implementation and planning of innovative technologies and handed them off to CIT to manage for O&M. • NIH Login • Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) • Business Process Management software • Federated Authentication Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  17. Current Integration Service Center Web Services Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  18. What does OCITA do? • Defines EA Components • Standards, models, designs, plans and governance to support them • Provides a library of: Bricks/patterns, published NIHRFCs, business process models, data models, case studies, and more • Provides consultative advice • Provides advice and guidance to PMs at the concept and design stage of the project to ensure solid architectural decisions • Validates alignment to existing infrastructure • Ensures EA is available to anyone at anytime and is easy to use Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov

  19. How can OCITA help me? • What will OCITA do for me? • Communicate to project teams the EA products that will be useful to you • Provide information about similar systems or services that can be of use • Provide guidance on data and business processes that should be used • When should I contact OCITA? • If you are creating a new system or updating the current system • At the concept stage of an IT project • At the design stage of an IT project • If you have a system you are modifying which requires data from other ICs or other systems • If you are putting out an RFP/RFC Website: http://EnterpriseArchitecture.nih.gov Contact: EnterpriseArchitecture@mail.nih.gov
