The Defence Information Vision
Agile exploitation of our information capabilities to improve effectiveness and efficiency on operations and in support areas through access to, and sharing of timely, accurate and trusted information.
MODIS 2011
ICT is Central to MOD Missions
The Current Defence ICT Environment
ICT is constraining Operational and Corporate activity
• Lack of flexibility to meet user demands.• Slow introduction and adoption of new technology.• Limited interoperability and opportunities for collaboration.
Budgets are significantly reduced
• Existing programme and project budgets have been continually and significantly reduced.• Forcing a focus on rationalisation and continuity of service.
Uncertain and changing environment
• Fractured ICT ownership with limited governance.• Transition risk resulting from the Cabinet Office direction to move from large prime to smaller multi-vendor services.• ICT suitably qualified and experienced resources, and rapid market innovation.• Increased Cyber Security threat.
Wider ICT Environment
• Social Media • Engagement• Productivity• Cloud and Crowd Sourcing• IP Telephony – Ubiquitous Connectivity• Cost Reduction• Big Data• Mobility• Consumerisation
MOD’s response - Information Operating Model
•Defence wide Information Strategy and Policy•Defence wide Information Coherence (CTO) •Defence Wide Information Risk and Assurance •Delivery Sponsorship accountability for common Defence projects (e.g. Crypto, DCNS, DII)
•Delivery Sponsorship accountability for Corporate and X Govt projects (e.g. CSSCP)

IOM - the opportunities
• Government ICT mechanisms– Enterprise scales of economy– Pan-Government solutions and frameworks– Modern policies
• Defence Authorities for C4ISR and Cyber– Advocacy and championship– Focused capability planning– Needs, priorities and beneficial outcomes identified– Information and ICT coherence driven– Assurance
• MOD Enterprise Architecture Leadership– Including SOSA
• A Defence ‘Coherence Community’
The ‘Coherence Community’ – A Virtual CTO Team

The proposed ICT Transformation plan was limited in scope to the core services provided by the current DII and DFTS contracts, plus EMBRACE. A portfolio approach across all ICT programmes and projects will drive efficiencies and greater E2E coherence.

Changes to the networking (Wan & LAN) and gateway components being contracted by the Grapevine 2 project will have a significant impact on MOD’s ability to provided C2 and ISTAR capabilities.
Defence ICT Strategy – Key Messages (1 of 2)
• User-centricity - ICT that enables rather than constrains the User in achieving their output
• This does not equate with demand for modern technology for the sake of it - investment MUST be better linked to benefits
• Need much clearer expressions of user need and expected benefit (over time), supported by consistent use of effective business and information architectures
• Cannot ignore security, given compelling evidence of the cyber threat, but better articulation of need and benefit should enable ICT providers to strike a better balance between security and utility, leveraging recent policy shifts to the full
• Need to depend less on boundary protection for our Cyber defences and invest more in 'deeper' defences such as pattern analyses
• Need to act more robustly against poor IA practices, including use of 'shadow technologies'
• Poor utilisation of current investments needs to be addressed, through up-skilling, process improvement and technology configuration
Defence ICT Strategy – Key Messages (2 of 2)
• Better visibility/awareness of the ICT landscape, to promote re-use and consistent practice and to minimise additional ICT (and its associated complexity)
• Need to adjust planned investments to spend proportionally less on networks and infrastructure and more on 'value adding' applications and services
• Need to invest in essential enablers which do not come directly from statements of user need (e.g. identity and access management, PKI, ESB)
• Need to maintain as close a match to 'vanilla COTS' as is possible, as 'bespoke investments' increase complexity and cost, and potentially limit utility and benefit realisation.
• Every subsequent refresh or update of 'bespoke investments' is less agile and more costly than 'vanilla COTS' equivalents
• Need to commoditise wherever possible, to reduce cost and to increase agility
• Need to match supply with demand, turning services on and off as required to increase efficiency and green credentials
• ICT Transformation Strategy - Consolidate Infrastructure
- Streamline Processes
- Strengthen Workforce
• Requires Partnerships Across MOD to achieve - Improved mission effectiveness and user satisfaction
- Reduced costs
- Improved Cyber security and interoperability
- Agile, faster and responsive delivery of ICT capabilities
