  1. Interoperability Clearinghouse & IT Acquisition Advisory Council ICH + IT-AAC = Assuring the business value of technology ….A not-for-profit research institute (501 C(6)) whose value added focus is on saving Government Dollars and Cycle Times in acquiring information technology and meeting mission needs Dr. Marv Langston, CTO 703 768 0400 www.ICHnet.org www.IT-AAC.org

  2. Wave 3 Technology vs Wave 2 DoD Architecture/Acquisition Methods

  3. Why ICHnet.org?A not-for-profit research coop Reduce COSTs/RISKs in Information Technology (IT) Acquisitions of Government by: CAPABILITY STUDIES: • Improving Integration and Alignment of Intersecting IT Activities and Stake Holders • Embracing SOA models and governance. BUSINESS CASE ANALYSIS: • Revamp requirements; link to COTS Capabilities & Measureable Outcomes that reflect stake holder agreements. • Create “bottom up” solution view of IT market capabilities (COTS/OSS) preventing over specification and acquisition risks CONFLICT FREE INDUSTRY INTERACTION: • Align IT investments decisions with Stake Holder Business Objectives and Mission Outcomes. • Mitigate potential conflicts of interest in the IT planning and architecture processes.

  4. ICH’s Trusted IT VALUE ADDEDAdvisory ServicesGovernment proven, conflict free, and on GSA Schedule 70 & MOBIS • Acquisition Assessment Method:(Chief Engineer, Bob Babiskin) • Decision analytics for rapid AoA, Business Case Analysis, Tech Assessment • Measurable, Repeatable, Sustainable needed to enable billions in cost avoidance • Solution Architecture Innovation Lab (SAIL): (CTO, Marv Langston) • Reusable solution architecture templates forE-Gov, IT Infrastructure, Cyber-Security, HealthIT • Leverages existing testing and implementation results from multiple communities • IT Acquisition Advisory Council (IT-AAC):. (Chairman, Mike Wynne) • A non-partisan think tank created to drive sustainable IT Acquisition Reform • Leverages expertise from academia, standards bodies, innovators and COIs. • “Grey Beard Peer Review” that guides agencies around mine fields and pot holes. AAM

  5. AAM Decision AnalyticsAssuring business value of IT at the speed of need ICH deconflicts and informs the IT Lifecycle (requirements, architecture, acquisition; • Requirements & Capability Gap Analysis (Value Stream Analysis) • Rapid Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and Evaluation of Alternatives (EoA) • Architecture Alignment; Business Architecture, Services Architecture, Solution Architecture, Technical Architecture, with supporting metrics and evidence • Reusable Performance Metrics and Service Level Agreements (SLAs) • Evidenced Based Technology Readiness and Maturity Assessments • Business Case Analysis and ROIs

  6. Cost/time Delta Predictable Results ICH’s AAM = Reusable Decision Analytics Sharing IT results & lessons learned reduces time, cost and risk High Acceptable Risk Level Risk Delta Confidence Level Project A Project B Project C Inconclusive findings Low Strategy / Capability Def / Tech Validation / AoA / Acqu. Strat / Source Selection ICH reduces Acquisition Time Line and cost Redundant Decision Analytics SAIL Collaborative Research and Validation

  7. Critical Success Factors for Acquisition AssuranceICH compliments existing federal resources

  8. ICH Past PerformanceMaking the Government a better buyer

  9. IN CONCLUSIONThe ounce of prevention in these lean times ICH’s Method and Knowledge Network saves DOLLARS and TIME! • Acquisition Assurance Method (AAM): A SOA based decision framework needed for establishing business driven SLAs. Defines IT Acquisition Lifecycle entry/exist criteria to better align business needs with Architectures, and EA with interoperable solution sets. AAM is derived from real world benchmarked best practices and evidenced based research. • Mentoring Services: facilitate stake holder collaboration using Value Stream Analysis (VSA) techniques to help establish stake holder agreements, measurable outcomes and provide traceability from business need to solution set. • Knowledge Sharing: a conflict free structure that taps a wide range of experts and expertise not available from traditional contracting resources. ICH’s virtual corporation models gives agencies an infinitely flexible structure to meet its changing needs. • Solution Architecture Patterns: Provide an open and inclusive structure by which both users and innovators of the market can define the Realm of the Possible validated by Evidenced Based Research. ….
