Description
Summary:This report provides an overview of a study that was intended to lay the groundwork for the U.S. Navy's Program Executive Office, Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence (PEO C4I), toward the service-based concept of an open architecture. Building on previous work for PEO C4I that speaks to the flexibility and cost effectiveness of service-oriented architecture (SOA), the study investigated the potential services that could be used as part of an SOA. Toward this goal, this document presents a summary of recommended services and strategic recommendations for selecting those services for which significant improvements in agility and efficiency are possible. Also included are a number of recommendations selected to fundamentally improve PEO C4I's ability to reconfigure its information technology (IT) system to support change.
