Presentation

Realizing and Distributing an Enterprise Architecture to Support Servicemen and Veterans in UK Defence

The UK MoD has used Architectural Frameworks to drive out system requirements for logistic applications for many years.  Increasingly, a significant number of projects have used these structures to support major investment decisions whilst established projects have created architectural artefact to judge capability and coherence with other projects.

To date however, these component architectures are held in disparate repositories and operated on by several architecture tools and employing differing governance standards.  Very often they are not directly accessible by industry or other stakeholder who are then working from fragments of the architecture.  It is difficult to see the whole view. 

To overcome this, the MoD is creating and distributing an Integrated Enterprise Architecture.  It will be shared with industry and join component architectures together; a Logistics Enterprise Architecture.  It is also creating an Enterprise "flight deck" to exploit the architecture to monitor and control the business. 
This presentation will outline:

  • How the maturity assessment & roadmap for the Architecture was developed
  • How the architecture was created and distributed 
  • How the architecture is exploited in real time to realise the benefits.
