Digital HarborTM New Business Drivers for Government:

Immediacy – Deal with the pace of ChangeContinuous Planning, distributed executionReal-time Exception Management & SLA Monitoring50% growth in Services with 5% growth in revenue (YTY)

Accuracy – Increase AccountabilityFinancial Audit and Grant Management Operational Risk and Fraud ManagementCompliance/Information Security/Governance

Intimacy – Ensure a High Quality of Experience (QOE)Single View of the Citizen (KYC- Customer Fusion)Integrated Service to the citizen (Service Fusion)X-Agency Collaboration and process management (G2G fusion)

Network-Centric Operations based on Real-time Decisions


Digital HarborTM New Mission demands New IT Strategy

Focus on “Information” vs. Technical Infrastructure Document Information Assets using the Enterprise Architecture approach with AS-IS and TO-BE data, process, and policy (rules) modelsIdentify and Consolidate around Authoritative Data sources Layer a “Modernization Layer” on top of existing stovepipes to deliver “Systems of Systems”

Deliver New Capabilities to LOB (Convert Information into Knowledge)360 degree views at the operational level to enable Relationship Management and Case ManagementConnect-the-dots at the tactical level to enable Exception Management and Asset Management Provide Situational Awareness at the strategic level to drive focus on Risk Management and Performance Management

Digital HarborTM Top Business Requirements for Modernization

Knowledge Processes require a new Approach, new functionality

•Virtual Fusion across databases and apps

•Correlation with Unstructured data

•Ad-Hoc Analysis

•Dynamic Workflow

•Rapid Composability

Integration

• All Information Correlated in One Screen• Internal & External Data Sources• Unstructured docs & Legacy Apps

Development

• Service Oriented• Iterative• Rapid Time-to-Value

Analysis

• Train-of-Thought Investigation• Rich Visualization & Context• Live Updates

Collaboration

• Dynamic-user controlled Workflow• Knowledge-based context sharing• Full Audit Tracking

Enterprises seek to leverage their existing information assets by connecting them to one another into dynamic network-centric applications.

What are the barriers to delivery?


Digital HarborTM Barrier: Business Users are Trapped in An Applications Maze

Current approaches lack the flexibility and ‘integrated environment’ that business users need to make effective knowledge based decisions

Digital HarborTM Example: Defense Intelligence

For any suspicious event, user needs to know…

• what (type of event)• where (map)• which (sources)• when (Ops Plan) • why (target context)• who responds (assets)

Need to relate—not just copy—information from

many sources

ENABLING THE LIFECYCLE OF KNOWLEDGE WORK

• Correlation adds meaning and context to an exception alert

• Discover links and relationships across system boundaries

• Create Knowledge by composing a picture of the situation

• Collaborate and share specific insights and observations

• Take action and audit the information process

PiiE transforms enterprises from reactive exception management to real-time sense and response.
