Since 1995, GAO has designated the department's business systems modernization efforts as high risk. One key to effectively modernizing DOD's systems environment and satisfying relevant legislative requirements is ensuring that business system investments comply with an enterprisewide strategic blueprint, commonly called an enterprise architecture. For DOD's business systems modernization, it is developing and using a federated Business Enterprise Architecture (BEA), which is a coherent family of parent and subsidiary architectures. GAO was requested to determine whether key Department of the Navy business systems modernization programs comply with DOD's federated BEA. To determine this, GAO examined the BEA compliance assessments, certifications, and approvals for selected Navy programs against relevant guidance. https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-972/html/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-972.htm https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-972/pdf/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-972.pdf GAO-08-972 https://www.govinfo.gov/app/details/GAOREPORTS-GAO-08-972 Other Written Product GAO-08-972; DOD Business Systems Modernization: Key Navy Programs' Compliance with DOD's Federated Business Enterprise Architecture Needs to Be Adequately Demonstrated; Combat readiness Defense capabilities Defense contingency planning Defense economic analysis Defense procurement Employees Enterprise architecture Information resources management Management information systems Military forces Product evaluation Program evaluation Risk assessment Risk factors Risk management Standards Strategic information systems planning Systems analysis Systems conversions Systems design Systems evaluation Systems management program goals or objectives DOD Business Enterprise Architecture GAO High Risk Series Volume 118 Page 1811 118 Stat. 1811 Public Law 108-375
