The BLM's architecture provides an integrated view of business
processes, data, applications, and technology.
The architecture is described using the Federal
Enterprise Architecture (FEA) reference models which provides
a common taxonomy for use in Capital
Planning & Investment Control (CPIC), security and architecture.
Within the Applications architecture task of
the BEA, the team is focused on the use of the Conceptual
Target Application Architecture (CTAA) and current systems
architecture within the Bureau portfolios to create Modernization
Blueprints.
The CTAA is a guidance document that represents
the Bureau's vision of how systems should be designed and architected
for the future.
The BEA team has used the
BLM Enterprise Architecture Repository (BEAR) (on the BEA
intranet website) to extensively document the existing systems'
Information Technology (IT) and business architectures.
The Modernization
Blueprints are findings and recommendations resulting from
the analysis of the BEAR and the roadmap for short-term and long-term
improvements to IT capabilities; all recommendations will move
the BLM towards the vision state defined by the CTAA.
The BEA Application Architecture is currently in the process
of creating blueprints for WO-700, Human Resource Management and
WO-800, Business and Fiscal Resources. |
