1. Geospatial Line of Business Update FGDC Steering Committee Meeting June 19, 2006

2. 2 Lines of Business Opportunities OMB and the LoB Task Forces are focused on business-driven, common solutions developed through architectural processes. The following LoBs will be undertaken in FY 2006: Budget Formulation and Execution IT Infrastructure Optimization Geospatial Common Solutions: A business process and/or technology based shared service made available to government agencies. Business Driven (vs. Technology Driven): Solutions address distinct business improvements that directly impact LoB performance goals. Developed Through Architectural Processes: Solutions are developed through a set of common and repeatable processes and tools. Common Solutions: A business process and/or technology based shared service made available to government agencies. Business Driven (vs. Technology Driven): Solutions address distinct business improvements that directly impact LoB performance goals. Developed Through Architectural Processes: Solutions are developed through a set of common and repeatable processes and tools.

3. 3 Geo LoB Purpose To establish a more coordinated approach to producing, maintaining, and using geospatial data and services and ----ensure sustainable participation from Federal partners to establish a collaborative model for geospatial- related activities and investments.

4. 4 Geo LoB Approach The Geo LoB will pursue efficiencies and standardization of geospatial data and services with a business-driven focus. The coupling of geospatial data, services and technologies with conventional data, services and technologies increases performance of key mission requirements across all levels of government. Using the Federal Enterprise Architecture (FEA), the Geo LoB is identifying opportunities to effectively reduce the cost of government and improve service to citizens through business performance improvements. The Geo LoB will work to develop processes and solutions to support agencies missions by integrating geospatial data with business applications, exponentially improving the value of data analysis and improving decision making.

5. 5 Expected LoB Outcomes The LoB Task Forces will identify common solutions, develop a target architecture, and develop a joint (interagency) business case by August 2006.

6. 6 Practitioner’s Day Update: Practitioners Day was a success Over 150 people attended Representatives from Industry, Non-Profits, State & Locals, and Federal government Questions and Responses available on the e-gov website

7. 7 OMB Request for Agency Data OMB reporting guidance directed agencies to identify and report to OMB geospatial investments and activities as defined by OMB Circular A-16 Agency Responses Due 6/15 Analysis Report Due 7/15 Update: Geospatial investment reporting guidance released on April 21

8. 8 Request for Information (RFI) Description Business performance requirements for the LoB will be submitted to industry vendors, non-profits, governments, and agencies for feedback. The RFI will include overarching, strategic questions fundamental to all the LoB initiatives as well as LoB-specific questions. Approach Provide RFI purpose, guidelines, and process Tasks Forces will develop the RFIs and review/analyze the responses Dependent on vision, goals, and objectives Delivery Date 4/6/06 – Posted 5/5/06 – collected submitted responses 5/15/06 - analyzed and summarized RFI responses in a report

9. 9 RFI Responses Provided information that will help the government architect, invest in, and implement geospatial capabilities in a coordinated way that works for the Federal government, as well as other data sharing partners Provided a vehicle to describe solutions and implementation approaches for achieving the government’s geospatial VGOs that can be integrated with the FEA and the FEA Geospatial Profile

The strategy must be achievable, written in non-geospatial professional language, and encourage stakeholder buy in and participation through an accurate representation of ROI from both a G-G and G-C perspective. While responders agreed that there was a need for this National strategy, and provided good information in response to our RFI questions, there were no comprehensive solutions offered as to how to achieve a comprehensive National strategy.

11. 11 Common Solution & Target Architecture Description A business process and/or technology based shared service made available to government agencies that achieves the vision, objectives, and performance metrics of the LoB. Approach Employ responses from agency analysis and RFI Develop target architecture that identifies the elements necessary to achieve LoB vision and objectives Dependent on definition of vision, goals, and objectives and RFI process Delivery Date 5/26/06 – submitted draft Common Solution and Target Architecture Pending – submit proposed Common Solution and Target Architecture

12. 12 Geospatial Current (As-is) State Geospatial information supports many missions (cross-cutting), including national security, law enforcement, health care, the environment, and natural resources conservation Twenty Five Federal departments and agencies independently collect or produce geospatial information, or invest in potentially duplicative geospatial capabilities More effective governance, planning and investment, and data and service optimization strategies must be developed to better coordinate geospatial activities and procurement at the Federal level

15. 15 Solution Components

16. 16 Ex. Gen Solution- Designated Data Steward Agencies GENERAL SOLUTION - Develop a business process for stewards of nationally significant data sets as part of a coordinated national portfolio, develop their lifecycle management responsibilities, performance metrics, and regularly evaluate performance. Task 1 - Delineate stewardship responsibilities with precise “Stewardship” requirements for production, delivery, access, and updating according agreed upon standards and performance measures Task 2 - Recognize data as a Federal-wide, common capital asset and manage them as a Federal portfolio as opposed to individual data sets. Task 3 - Provide an ongoing, consistent, stakeholder driven business process for the development, maintenance, and updating all nationally significant data sets. Task 4 -Develop sustainable funding strategy for collaboration with state, local, and tribal government partners.
