Conclusions DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy (DS) and Community of Interest (COI) Training Executive Overview Conclusions Version 1.2

Purpose Summarize key conclusions from the DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy and Community of Interest Training Provide references to key resources available Suggest next steps

Conclusions Agile information sharing is a critical to effective and responsive military and government operations

Agile Information Sharing Conclusions We live in a digital information age where the speed and scale of information sharing continues to accelerate Agile Information Sharing Enables effective military operations Transforms business processes e.g., Travelocity.com Recall this example Spawns Innovation e.g., Amazon.com Allows more agile sharing across Federal agency boundaries

DoD Net-Centric Concept It is Analogous … DoD Net-Centric Concept Core Enterprise Services Unanticipated user Authoritative data provider Known user Amazon.com Corollary Authentication & other e-commerce services HikingOutpost.com & other affiliates Direct Amazon.com purchasers

More on the DoD to Amazon.com Analogy Possible DoD Application Catalog of goods from Defense Logistics Agency Analogous Standard service interface used Data shared using well defined vocabulary Services used by known & unanticipated users Free core enterprise services May be Analogous Low cost of entry (Services are free or very low cost) No special access permissions needed Not Analogous Amazon drove data standards (COI of 1) Usage directly translates to financial rewards for Amazon and its affiliates DoD partnering on a global scale could lead to more effective mission and business operations

We are Net-Centric Pioneers Together we are pioneering agile information sharing in the DoD & Intelligence Community Some of it we know how to do Model after successes on the World Wide Web Use open standards Some of it is HARD Cultural change DoD and IC specific needs Streamline capability delivery for responsive operations Digital Native Digital Immigrants We’ve had some successes DoD & IC Net-Centric Strategies Net-Centric Core Enterprise Services Increasing Partnerships (e.g., DoD & IC)

We are Net-Centric Pioneers (concluded) But some challenges remain, e.g., Enterprise Information Assurance Lightweight Standards Innovation Data Services To pioneer Net-Centric transformation we need your help to: Implement the things we know how to do Address the remaining challenges Continue to innovate as technology changes and needs evolve Progress is being made but your help is needed to achieve effective military and government operations

What Can YOU as Senior Leaders Do? Take Action Within Your Organization Identify and scope information sharing needs Designate leads to establish COIs and COI pilots to address these information sharing needs Support them by providing Leadership and Governance Hold them accountable

CIO Resources DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy (NCDS) Outlines the vision for managing data in a net-centric environment by ensuring that it is visible, accessible, and understandable DoD Net-Centric Services Strategy (NCSS) Builds upon the NCDS goals and establishes services as the preferred means of sharing data and information. DoD Instruction 8320.02, Sharing Data, Information, and Information Technology (IT) Services in the DoD Establishes policies, assigns responsibilities, and prescribes procedures for securely sharing electronic data, information, and IT services and securely enabling the discovery of shared data throughout the DoD, in accordance with DoD Directive 8000.01, DoD Net-Centric Data Strategy and DoD Net-Centric Services Strategy. Facilitates the shift from the transport medium to a focus on content and guides the use of resources to implement the secure sharing of data, information, and IT services within the DoD Information Enterprise (IE) and with mission partners.
