Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) Tutorial

The Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) tutorial is designed for anyone who wishes to gain a better understanding of Enterprise Architecture and how the Department of Defense uses it to describe the structure of the organization’s processes, systems, personnel, strategy, and core goals. This lesson will discuss why it has become necessary for the DoD to develop an Enterprise Architecture and explain the components of the architecture. The tutorial will illustrate the various architecture framework views and explain what those views support. The trainee will also be shown the BEA development strategy along with the governance structure, and BEA partners and drivers that are critical components of the development process. The lesson also discusses where the BEA exists within the larger DoD architecture Federation. The tutorial concludes with some examples of how the BEA has been successfully used by various business transformation efforts.

ACART™ Tutorial

The ACART™ tutorial is designed for managers and subject matter experts who work with DoD modernization programs and is intended for users familiar with the DoD Architecture Framework.  It covers basic registration logistics, navigation features, the assessment process to determine system compliance, and reporting features.  The ACART™ tutorial facilitates the understanding of ACART, which is an automated tool for assessing systems compliance against the data standards, business rules, laws, regulations, and policies defined in the DoD's BEA.  The BEA contains requirements that a program must adhere to in order to comply with the Department of Defense’s business transformation efforts.

The ACART™ on-line help module offers "just-in-time" access to information about the ACART™ tool and  help on navigating through system assessments. It contains a searchable database, a glossary of business transformation related terms, user instructions, and other references.
