ARLINGTON, VA. - The Business Transformation Agency's (BTA's) Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) approach to Enterprise services and systems-data integration was recognized with the Best Industry SOA Application award at the 2007 SOA E-Government conference.
The award was presented to Will Mancuso of Team IBM under the direction of Dennis E. Wisnosky, DoD Business Mission Area Chief Technical Officer, supporting BTA's SOA effort. The conference was held October 1-2, 2007 in McLean, Va., and brought together government and industry leaders to share information on enterprise architecture, service-oriented architecture, data and information architecture, semantic interoperability and service systems.
"It's a real honor to be recognized as one of the best in an SOA competition across government and industry, and to be recognized for our top down/bottom up approach to Enterprise Architecture (EA) and common interfaces for Enterprise Resource Planning systems," noted Mancuso.
The essential role of data architecture in the SOA is to achieve interoperability through a common data model and integration. The SOA approach analyzes defense business systems and Business Mission Area ERP systems against a Conceptual Data Model within the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA).
