FEA Reference Models Sample Clauses

FEA Reference Models. The FEA “reference models” align IT investments with agencies’ mission requirements. The component-based architecture enables a structural understanding of agencies’ operations and integrated support systems used to accomplish business goals. The FEA reference models provide a framework for managing and leveraging IT investments across the Federal government. The FEA framework promotes the sharing, consolidation, and reuse of business processes and systems to facilitate inter-government collaboration and information resource management. The FEA will facilitate agencies’ efforts to migrate toward a more unified government-wide IT infrastructure, by standardizing on technologies and systems that support mission needs. The FEA is designed to improve government operations and reduce overall costs associated with developing, implementing, and managing IT systems. The FEA consists of five interrelated reference models: - Performance Reference Model (PRM) - Business Reference Model (BRM) - Service Component Reference Model (SRM) - Technical Reference Model (TRM) - Data Reference Model (DRM) The Alliant GWAC service offerings are defined broadly relative to the expected relationship (“mapping”) with the FEA architecture components. The services support the development and use of EA work products to manage current and future needs of federal government business operations (i.e., “baseline” and “target” architectures). The Alliant GWAC includes transition planning and migration support for all EA components (e.g., business, information, application, and technology architectures), to advance the development and implementation of “core EA capabilities.” An overview of each of the FEA reference models is provided below.
