Reach of the Business Mission Area
The Business Operating Environment
"The Secretary of Defense is responsible for a half-trillion
dollar enterprise that is roughly an order of magnitude larger
than any commercial corporation that has ever existed. DoD
estimates that business support activities—the Defense
Agencies and the business support operations within the
Military Departments—comprise 53% of the DoD enterprise.”

We have proof - EIW
21
DoD EIW - Bottom Line Up-Front (BLUF)
 The DoD Enterprise Information Web (EIW) is
pioneering the adoption of Semantic Technology and
approaches that can be the way forward for enterprise
business intelligence and solution architectures in the
DoD.
Why?
Department of Defense
DWiz DoD DCMO BMA CTO & CA
22
EIW History
Problem: Personnel visibility (PV), accurate and timely pay
Alternative: Build an enterprise ERP for HR functionality across DoD
Measure
Outcome
Agility
10 year program, system did not pass Integration
Testing and Acceptance Testing
Interoperability
100+ planned point-to-point interfaces to legacy
systems; 1/3 successfully built and tested
Savings
>$$$$$$$$ spent, system not fielded
Post-DIMHRS Personnel Visibility Problem Persists
Personnel Visibility
Interoperability/Federation
DoD currently lacks the enterprise level
capability to quickly and accurately account
for personnel, manage troop strength, and
plan
Department of Defense
 Standards & transactional systems in
constant state of change
 Relationally-based architectures
expensive to change/maintain
New Approach to Personnel Visibility
DWiz DoD DCMO BMA CTO & CA
23
A New Approach to Personnel Visibility (PV)
The HR Enterprise Information Web (EIW) is a mechanism for reaching into
Authoritative Data Sources (ADS) to satisfy enterprise information needs. It
accomplishes three things:
1.
2.
3.
Reports near real-time, authoritative information on-demand
Supports enterprise information standards (Open; HRM ES)
Supports IT flexibility/agility
