Enterprise IT planning is an immensely valuable process. It helps organizations create technically viable, cost effective projects which are easy to execute. It also capitalizes on existing technology investments, allowing enterprises scale their infrastructure to accommodate future upgrades and enhancements. This process can be particularly helpful in government, where systems often cut across agency boundaries and highly varied technologies.
But developing government IT plans is a big job. It requires in-depth technical knowledge, deep expertise in enterprise architecture design and enterprise application Integration, and extensive domain exposure to come up with a comprehensive enterprise IT implementation plan.
That’s what Netspective brings to the table – technical know-how, domain expertise, demonstrable experience in government enterprise architecture design and application integration -- and the determination to deliver the best.
While commercial establishments have depended on sophisticated IT installations for decades, government departments and agencies at the federal, state and local levels have been slower to catch on.
However, since September 1999, when the Federal CIO Council published the Federal Enterprise Archtiecture Framework (FEAF), federal IT leaders have had an increasingly rich set of standardized practices and designs from which to draw, including approaches for creating compatible business, data, applications and technology architectures. Since then, state and local governments have followed suit, with many states developing enterprise architecture plans similar to FEAF.
Therein, however, lies a problem. While the development of sophisticated EIP strategies is valuable, it imposes new burdens on public IT managers. Finding the resources to create these plans can be a headache – especially given today’s tight governmental budgets -- and executing them can stress your staff, particularly if unfamiliar technologies or new standards are involved.
