Service Oriented Architecture Introduction |
A key aspect of the BMA Federation Strategy is the
establishment and utilization of service-oriented architecture (SOA) at the
Enterprise level. SOA is a mechanism by which business capabilities can be
aligned with the technical infrastructure in support of an agile business
strategy. GAO describes SOA as an “approach for sharing functions and
applications across an organization by designing them as discrete, reusable,
business-oriented services”. The Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Chief
Architect (CA) in the Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO)
collaborated with the Chief Information Officers (CIOs) representing the
Military Services, Defense Agencies, Combatant Commands, Mission Areas and the
DoD enterprise to develop a SOA strategy and the supporting Service-oriented
environment, termed the Business Operating Environment (BOE). The BOE leverages
industry best practices to federate architectures, develop capability
requirements and support the delivery of portfolios of business capabilities
based on collections of “services” orchestrated across the Department. In this
construct, over time existing DoD systems become deployed as discreet business
services within the BOE.

Federation Strategy & Roadmap |
The BMA Federation Strategy and Roadmap v2.4 describes
the means to achieve the Department of Defense (DoD) vision for business
transformation – capabilities that support interoperability, data sharing and
discovery and delivery of business services. It describes the authority and
responsibility of the Chief Technical Officer (CTO) and Chief Architect (CA) in
the Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer (DCMO) to facilitate and guide
the execution within existing technical and business investment governance
structures, in compliance with the Ronald W. Reagan National Defense
Authorization Act (NDAA) for Fiscal Year 2005.
The BMA Federation Strategy and Roadmap v2.4 expands upon the DoD Global
Information Grid (GIG) Architecture Federation Strategy by describing the BMA
strategy for linking Component/Service/Agency (C/S/A) and Program architectures
to the Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA) to form the BMA portion of the
GIG1. In addition, it describes the infrastructure, products, services,
capabilities and actions to implement architecture federation and deliver
business services across the BMA and from tier to tier within the DoD.

Implementation Strategy Presentation |
The DBSAE SOA Integrated Product Team (IPT) will create a
Service Oriented Architecture Implementation Strategy that will allow the
Defense Business System Acquisition Executive (DBSAE) to extrapolate additional
value from the existing portfolio of business systems. The DBSAE SOA
Implementation strategy has two fundamental objectives. The first objective
involves outlining an operational strategy for implementing a Service Oriented
Architecture (SOA) within the DBSAE. The second objective involves establishing
a way ahead for building out a DBSAE SOA Infrastructure. The DBSAE SOA
Infrastructure will be used to support the internal SOA efforts within the
DBSAE.

Symposium – April 2-3, 2009 |
The 2009 SOA Symposium was a great success!
To view the presentations and agenda click here... 
The SOA Symposium brings together SOA experts and practitioners to cover the
most important topics pertaining to the wide-spread adoption of SOA in both
government and industry sectors. This event is sponsored out of the US
Department of Defense (DoD). The DoD has embarked on a path to implementation of
SOA as a primary means to deliver increased capability by improving the
efficiency and effectiveness of business operations. Headlined by SOA thought
leaders Dennis Wisnosky (Chief Technical Officer and Chief Architect of the
Business Mission Area in the Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer, U.S.
Department of Defense) and Thomas Erl (Author and Founder of SOASchool.com),
more than 30 speakers will come together to share the latest insights,
practices, patterns, and technology innovations as they pertain to all lifecycle
phases of SOA projects. This special event is directed at both business and
technology professionals, as well as IT decision makers.
"Industry around the world has demonstrated that SOA can substantially reduce
the cost of IT infrastructure while greatly improving business agility. The road
to SOA must be traveled with a proven inclusive architecture that is jointly
owned and managed by both the IT and the business communities in any
organization. To be successful, SOA must be considered to be a team sport that
involves all elements of people, process, technology and especially trust."
- Dennis Wisnosky, Chief Technical Officer and Chief Architect of the Business
Mission Area in the Office of the Deputy Chief Management Officer, U.S.
