Process Technology People COP 21 TD Objectives • Demonstrate how Enterprise Portal Technology can improve Situation Awareness • Review organizational impacts caused by Enterprise Portal technology • Conduct Risk Mitigation of new Information Technology trends
Current COP Deficiencies • Required information originates from various stovepipe systems • Information overload • Information is not timely • Lack of tools to understand how a situation has developed and is expected to develop • Limited visualization capability • Constraints of security domains • Decisions are being made on incomplete / unreliable information • Limited decision-aid / planning tools
Portfolio Navigator Information Displays COP 21 Portal (Example)
COP 21 Main Capabilities • Single point of access to multiple information sources • Filtering and categorizing information using Portfolio views • View of several documents together • Disseminating information using Portfolios • Contextual search services • Web-Based Geographic Information System • Integration of application services in the portal
Filtering and Categorizing Information using Portfolio Views
Integration of Application Services in the Portal – Tight Coupling
Integration of Application Services in the Portal – Loose Coupling
Integration of Application Services with the Portal - Application Launcher
JWID 04 Feedback • “COP21 is ideal for loading a large amount of data from multiple sources” • “Being able to access all pertinent info from one workstation has increased my efficiency 10 fold!” • “With the 5 screens in full operation you get a better picture of what’s going on in any of the portfolios you have open” • “It’s an effective way to share, file, organize info” • “Posting to portfolios is an appropriate and effective means of info dissemination” • “Having all the apps in one place – not needing to know where documents are stored – just that they are related to a portfolio is a bonus”
Foreseen Improvements • Full C-O-P Trilogy implementation(Context-Ontology-Portfolio) • Improved Information Management • Improved Search and Classification • Data Aware Portlets • Information Visualization • Standards and Protocols
