“The DoD Acquisition Problem”
• Wave 3 technology decouples network and computing infrastructure from application services:
• Powers Amazon and Ebay to allow “mash-up” (shared pictures, videos)
• We use Wave 2 acquisition & budget processes, trying to build Wave 3 capability; results:
• Under investment in infrastructure; don’t corporately understand the need
• Forces programs to contract to a pre-defined price and schedule (the standard “hump” curve)
