Facing siloed IT operations, over 1,500 redundant products, and budget constraints, the agency implemented lifecycle and mission-enabling support frameworks supported by capability and technology management. The initiative created standardized functional categories, an enterprise applications inventory, shared services patterns, and collaborative governance through an Architecture Review Board and Enterprise Standards Profile. Results include reduced duplication, common nomenclature, and a foundation for modernization and shared cloud infrastructure.
